Check Point Launches Game-Changing SASE Solution: Delivering 2x Faster Internet Security

Today, we've launched Quantum SASE, integrating technologies from newly acquired Perimeter 81. This integrated offering addresses organizations’ needs for a unified user experience, simplified Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) management, and a fast, secure browsing experience. It enhances the company’s Infinity architecture with a unified SASE solution offering (1) 2x faster internet security, (2) full mesh Zero Trust Access, and (3) Secured SD-WAN with industry-leading threat prevention. This underscores Check Point’s leadership in advanced cloud security.

This forum will, of course, be the place to discuss Quantum SASE and Perimeter 81.

It's an entirely different solution that serves similar use cases to Harmony Connect but does it using completely different infrastructure than Harmony Connect, which we also announced the End of Sale for: https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk181531 
You can see some differences between the two solutions in the following tables:

Harmony Connect does have a few features not present in Quantum SASE at present and we are working to close those gaps over the coming months.
This includes integration with Infinity Portal, which is in progress.

The missing features are largely related to Threat Prevention and Infinity Portal integration, as far as I know.
