As I'm working for the banking sector, our utmost importance is the security of the network. Check Point ThreatCloud helps to ensure the security by making sure the threats are monitored and treated according to the Bank's IT policy. When it comes to the ATM Network, Check Point ThreatCloud plays a severe role.
VirusTotal is good for ad-hoc analysis of suspicious files, but it's not a replacement for an anti-virus / anti-malware or EDR solution. It's a good way to confirm if suspicious activity is actually malicious or benign.
If you have the Checkpoint firewalls, the only real solution is the Check Point ThreatCloud to be used. If you have PAN - Autofocus or Fortinet-fortiguard. One advantage of Check Point ThreatCloud is the elimination of web security services, as the checkpoint with the threat cloud replaces the web security solutions with its vast features. Check Point products are very easy to use, and operation costs are much lower than the other vendors.
