Caring for the earth has always been a grave concern for both organisations and indviduals alike. With a plethorar of issues to be concerned about, in today’s digital landscape, organizations also face the dual challenge of maintaining robust cyber security measures while also reducing their environmental impact to manage risks and realize opportunities. This issue is especially critical for India, which has emerged as a prime target for cyberattacks. According to Check Point’s Threat Intelligence Report, Indian organizations faced an average of 3,278 cyberattacks per week over the past six months, significantly higher than the global average of 1,878.

Each one of these incidents not only threatens sensitive data and business continuity but also adds to the nation’s energy burden. Investing in sustainable, preventive cybersecurity is no longer optional but essential for both resilience and resource efficiency.

In recognition of Earth Day 2025, we’d like to discuss why the convergence of these two priorities is particularly relevant, giving rise to Green IT security practices that can help organizations accomplish both goals simultaneously. By implementing energy-efficient security systems, companies can strengthen their defenses while contributing to sustainability efforts and reducing operational costs – a win-win for the bottom line and the planet!

The Energy-Security Connection

When companies design their IT security systems with energy efficiency in mind, they create a more sustainable digital infrastructure without compromising protection. A key performance indicator in this approach is the energy consumption per gigabit (Gbit) of data throughput in next-generation security gateways. By optimizing for this metric, organizations can reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining effective security controls.

Check Point‘s latest ESG Report provides concrete examples of this approach in action. Our Check Point Quantum Force 29200 security gateway demonstrates a remarkable 73% decrease in Power Consumption (Watts) per Throughput (Gbps) compared to the previous Quantum 28000 model. Impressively, this reduction comes alongside a 112% improvement in Threat Prevention capabilities. Similar advancements are evident in another product line, where the Quantum Force 9800 security gateway delivers a 61% reduction in Power Consumption (Watts) per Throughput (Gbps) compared to the Quantum 7000, while achieving a 111% improvement in Threat Prevention. These innovations illustrate how next-generation security technologies can simultaneously enhance protection and energy efficiency.

Prevention: The Green Approach to Cyber Security

Proactive defense against cyberattacks doesn’t just protect data—it prevents unnecessary energy consumption. When organizations fall victim to attacks like ransomware or cryptominers, recovery often involves energy-intensive processes such as restoring backups or rebooting entire systems. These procedures consume significant energy that could have been saved through preventive measures.

Consider cryptomining malware, which remains a persistent threat despite its peak in 2018 when it affected 40% of analyzed organizations.

Even recently, malware such as XMRig has been detected targeting gaming engines. The collective energy consumption of cryptomining is estimated at a staggering 125-terawatt hours annually—highlighting how effective prevention directly translates to energy savings.

AI Systems: New Threats, New Energy Concerns

Data poisoning in AI systems represents another emerging concern. These attacks compromise machine learning models, often requiring complete retraining to remediate—an extremely energy-intensive process. As organizations increasingly rely on AI-powered tools for decision-making, protecting these systems also means avoiding redundant and costly training cycles that consume substantial computational resources.

Architecture Choices for Energy Efficiency

Network architecture decisions significantly impact both security and energy consumption. Hybrid network models, such as mesh networks within SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) environments, can reduce energy use by decreasing the number of hops data must take. Instead of routing all traffic through cloud services, these approaches ensure fewer energy-consuming systems are involved in transmission.

In data centers, scale-out security gateway designs enhance energy efficiency by providing high availability without relying on traditional active-passive configurations that often waste resources.

The Combined Benefit

By integrating Green IT principles into cyber security strategies, organizations create infrastructure that is both secure and sustainable. Making strategic choices in architecture, proactively defending against attacks, and considering the energy implications of security operations allows companies to protect both their business interests and environmental resources.

The CASTO 75 DC isn’t your ordinary chimney. It’s a quiet revolution in your kitchen. It lets you deep-fry, sauté, grill, or bake without having to worry about odours, smoke or grease fogging up your space or your head.

Draped in a black tempered glass body with a sophisticated matt finish, this 75 cm beauty isn’t trying too hard to impress. It just quietly does. You’ll first notice the subtle LED insignia – a gentle glow that feels more like a signature than a spotlight. It’s elegant without being flashy, designed to blend into modern kitchens while still standing out just enough to make a point.

But the USP for CASTO 75 DC has to be its understanding of your life in the kitchen. It comes equipped with smart auto-clean technology, which means it literally cleans itself. Think about that – no more calling service people or pulling apart greasy filters on a Sunday afternoon. It performs an automatic cleaning cycle that helps keep maintenance almost negligible, so you can focus on what actually matters: cooking, creating, and enjoying.

The chimney responds to the way you move. With gesture motion control, you don’t have to press a single button. Just wave your hand to adjust the settings. It’s like your chimney knows when the onions are about to hit the pan and you need that quick airflow boost.

And yes, power matters too. The CASTO 75 DC is built to handle intense Indian cooking with ease. Its BLDC motor offers strong, smooth performance with less energy consumption and noise. You get up to 1480 m³/h of airflow – meaning smoke and grease barely get a second to settle in before they’re extracted. The multi-dimensional extraction system works like a pro, drawing in air from various angles to ensure nothing escapes.

With eight speeds and a booster mode, it adapts to whatever you’re cooking. Light steaming? A gentle pull. Frying fish or cooking up a storm for guests? Just notch it up. And with the soft, frosted LED bar lights, your cooktop stays gently lit – no harsh glares, just warm, functional light that lets you focus on your food.

More than anything, the CASTO 75 DC adds comfort to the kitchen. You can now spend more time chatting over a simmering pot, prepping meals with your kids, or brewing evening tea without that thick, greasy air getting in the way. It turns your kitchen into a place where you don’t just cook – you live. Because when the air feels fresh, the kitchen becomes more than a workspace. It becomes the heart of your home.
