Rising Borrowing Costs Shouldn't Delay Your Security: Meet Firewall-as-a-Subscription
Check Point, Monday, October 26th, 2026
Check Point blog argues rising interest rates shouldn't stall firewall refreshes and pitches its new Firewall-as-a-Subscription.
Check Point argues that rising interest rates have made large firewall hardware purchases harder to approve, leaving outdated firewalls in place while risk grows.
Its Firewall-as-a-Subscription replaces the upfront purchase with a monthly or annual payment, with Check Point carrying the CapEx and keeping hardware title.
Appliances ship with headroom so capacity can be unlocked by subscription upgrade, avoiding overbuying, and professional policy migration from another vendor is included.
The offer bundles the AI Network Firewall, SandBlast threat prevention, Live Updates, agentic management and premium support, and targets organizations of a few hundred to a few thousand employees.
