300 Unknown Malware. Nailed with Check Point Threat Prevention Industry's best catch rate from Check Point Website

From Check Point page, found some interesting words based on recent 300 Unknown malware test:


In recent benchmark testing, 300 malicious files were scanned through Check Point Threat Emulation and other competitive products. The results found that Check Point outperformed all of the others.
















HOW WE STACK UP
TO THE COMPETITION




SECURITY FINDINGS
ONLY Check Point caught ALL
300 Unknown Malware files.
Malware comes in all sizes.
Palo Alto Networks limits you to 1MB for PDF files.
Prevention
is more important than detection.
Palo Alto Networks and Fortinet only detect but cannot prevent unknown malware.
It is critical to scan inside SSL traffic.
FireEye does not scan inside SSL traffic.
Archived files need to be inspected.
Palo Alto Networks could not inspect .rar files.
Malware can propagate very quickly.
Real-time protection is required
Palo Alto Networks takes 30 minutes to update signatures.
Fortinet takes even longer.
Multi-protocol scanning
in one appliance
saves on total cost of ownership. 
FireEye needs a separate appliance for email protection
and for web protection.
