| Introduction {#Introduction} ---------------------------- |||
| **R82** is Check Point's major software release for Quantum products and CloudGuard Network Security. It introduces 50 innovative capabilities to strengthen threat prevention, greatly streamline operations and provisioning, and troubleshoot network connections with integrated diagnostics tools. This release provides access to new AI-powered threat prevention engines that strengthen defense against zero-day phishing, brand spoofing, malware, and more. R82 also adds DNS protection against NXNS, offers DNS configuration granularity, and supports DNS-over-HTTPS Inspection. Check Point offers the industry's first complete protection for HTTP/3 over QUIC. R82 also enables effortless and automated HTTPS Inspection deployment with granular controls and exceptional performance. Check Point's VSX has a new versatile mode (VSNext) that unifies management features and APIs across Virtual Systems and physical Security Gateways. Furthermore, cluster management is greatly simplified with a new page in Gaia Portal and a new mode (ElasticXL) that enables Security Gateway clustering without the need for physical Orchestrators. In addition, R82 introduces a new version of Check Point's operating system with superior networking and routing capabilities. For automation, users and DevOps teams can now execute API calls directly to security gateways through a new dynamic policy layer. For future-proofing, R82 enables NIST-approved Kyber (ML-KEM) encryption to protect today's VPN traffic against future quantum computing-based hacking. These are just some of the powerful new capabilities in R82. **Effective March 31, 2026, the GA version was updated to Take 779, which includes the certificates and CRL fix ([sk184766](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk184766)).** **R82 Take 779 is supported with Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator Take 91 and higher.** |||
