Anyone using CheckPoint SandBlast Mobile Security App?.

Hello,

I'm looking for some actual real-world tangible everyday reviews of CheckPoint "SandBlast" mobile security app for iOS and Android. Our Cybersecurity team is considering testing/evaluating it, and maybe asking for my input on how to integrate that into our MDM deployment, etc.

But all I'm finding for SandBlast are the usual slick marketing pamphlets and click-bait hoorah hoorah "it's so great". I'd like to find some actual fair analysis. (that is presuming anyone is using it.. which I'd presume CheckPoint is fairly "behind the times".. but that could just be ignorant prejudice on my side).

thanks

iosman

I would suggest to review the available online documentation https://dl3.checkpoint.com/paid/42/421cc613b843e1d6673ee70262042081/sandblast-mobile-quick-start-guide.pdf?HashKey=1567770912_6ed175b54249a8d5bb7708b25ca7444e&xtn=.pdf or take a free SandBlast Mobile Security class in https://check-point-software-technologies.skyprepapp.com/account - this will give you a good view of the possibilities of the software. But if you do not need its functionality and features or have a superior product in mind you do not have to use it 😁.

IDC did a report at the end of 2018 on Mobile Threat Management where they analyzed a number of vendors in the space, including us.
You can get the report here: https://pages.checkpoint.com/nrt-idc-report-marketscape-mobile.html

That said, testing in your own environment is always a good idea.
