We are happy to announce Check Point Quantum R82.10 has been released TODAY!

Enterprises are rapidly adopting AI to achieve impressive productivity gains. However, AI systems also introduce unprecedented new security challenges.
Traditional detection and response frameworks are no longer enough to protect today’s distributed, hybrid mesh networks.
It is imperative that enterprises shift left to prevention-first security.

R82.10 enables security for the AI transformation, Hybrid Mesh Network, and advanced threats.
R82.10 delivers stronger threat prevention, higher scalability & performance, and greater operational simplicity.
Architectural Updates: R82.10 features an upgraded OS based on Linux kernel 5.14 versus 4.xx in previous releases. This release runs exclusively in UPPAK mode (User Space Performance Pack).
 

• For the full “What’s New”, Release Notes and more information, please refer to R82.10 Home Page  [sk183506]

This release is available for customers who are interested in implementing the new features.

 We will make it the recommended version after significant adoption. It will then be available in the 'Showing Recommended Packages' section in the CPUSE tab in Gaia portal. 

Check Point will be monitoring the adoption of the release closely as well as any issues that may arise.

 Please feel free to reach out to us with any feedback or questions
