Hi folks,

Does anybody know that what is included in threat preventation throughput ?

As i see checkpoint firewall's datasheet , there is some distinct throughput.

Threat prevention includes Anti Virus, Anti Spyware and IPS functionalities.

So imo threat prevention throughput would be firewall policy with those 3 security profiles on allow rules.

indeed, AppID is done at 'wirespeed', so the maximum speed listed already includes Application Control. Threat Prevention throughput is when AntiVirus, AntiMalware AND Vulnerability Protection are enabled

I had also searched for it but did not get specific answer. My assumption is anything apart from app-id based firewall is part of threat prevention (anti-virus, anti-spyware, vulnerability, url, file blocking, data filtering etc.)
