software release for its leading Software Blade Architecture. R75.20 brings customers a comprehensive
approach to security with:
New URL Filtering Software Blade – This new software blade provides granular control for web
surfing in real-time and uniquely integrates with Application Control for unified enforcement of
all Web controls. Over 100 million websites and 240,000 Web 2.0 applications and widgets are
now classified in Check Point’s cloud-based web categorization engine.
SSL Inspection – R75.20 enables businesses to inspect SSL-encrypted traffic across all software
blades, providing in-depth security analysis and data loss prevention services for applications

Check Point also introduced two new high-end and data center system offerings, including Check
Point 61000 – a new carrier-grade security solution and the industry’s fastest security gateway – and a new data center appliance, Check Point 21400. In addition, the company also introduced SecurityPowerTM, a new metric for security performance that allows customers to estimate their security needs and compare it to the SecurityPower Units (SPU) rating of each security solution.
The R75.20 software blade release continues to build on the Check Point’s 3D Security vision, defining
security as a business process by combining policies, people and enforcement for stronger protection
across all layers of security.
