Check Point Unveils AI-Powered Innovations to Enhance Unified Security Management

Check Point Announces New AI-Powered Innovations to Bolster Unified Security Management for the Infinity Platform - Check Point Software (NASDAQ:CHKP)

VIENNA, Feb. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. CHKP, a pioneer and global leader of cyber security solutions, today announced new Infinity Platform capabilities to accelerate zero trust, strengthen threat prevention, reduce complexity, and simplify security operations. "We live in a hyperconnected, digital world with new cyber threats emerging every day," said Nataly Kremer, Chief Product Officer at Check Point. "Meanwhile, security teams are struggling to adequately prevent cyber-attacks due to complex and siloed security solutions. We are pleased to introduce several new AI-powered Innovations that cut down complexity and strengthen the Unified Security Management capabilities of the Infinity Platform. Our customers will experience enhanced threat prevention, while finding it very easy to collaborate with third-party products." Many organizations rely on a siloed security approach. IT teams are tasked with deploying security tools that are designed to provide a specific type of protection across the network, endpoints, email, and cloud environments. This siloed approach requires dozens of systems to manage, which leads to operational challenges, fragmented policies, and security gaps for IT teams. At the same time, cyber-attacks increased 44% year-over-year, placing extreme pressure on security teams. The siloed nature of hybrid environments demands that security teams review and reconcile policies and processes across dozens of systems and tools. These tasks are often performed manually, slowing down operations and leading to gaps in zero trust, threat resolution, and infrastructure management, resulting in a heightened risk of cyberattacks and system failures. Check Point's six new and improved AI-powered innovations accelerate operations and supercharge threat prevention in three ways: Unified Identity & Policy By leveraging AI and identity awareness, administrators can implement more effective and granular security policies, ensuring that only authorized users have access to critical resources. Unifying visibility and analysis of policies across environments enables security teams to maintain security hygiene and compliance. Quantum Policy Insights Analyzes existing policies and recommends policy changes to improve security postureEnforces zero trust by eliminating overly permissive access and conflicting policies Quantum Policy Auditor Ensures alignment with corporate security guidelinesIdentifies policies that violate organizational guidelines using a policy visualization UIAnalyzes thousands of rules in seconds, saving security and audit teams weeks of tedious labor by synthesizing complex policies/rules into powerful business-level graphical insights Infinity Identity Cloud service that manages centralized identity across the Infinity PlatformSeamlessly integrates with third party identity providersAdds support for new identity sources: Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Intune and Harmony Endpoint Collaborative Threat Prevention AI can help organizations identify and block threats across multiple enforcement points in real-time, eliminating human error and reducing time to remediation. Infinity Playblocks Provides security automation and orchestration across Infinity Platform and 3rd partiesExtends the reach of siloed security solutions to stop attacks across the enterprise100+ out of the box playbooks including threat prevention, auto remediation, reporting, and moreEnables enterprises to easily create custom playbooks using natural language GenAI Operational Simplicity AI-based insights can minimize tedious, error prone work to streamline operations across the entire security stack. This results in improved zero trust, better lifecycle management, and less infrastructure downtime.

For the Third Consecutive Year, Check Point Software Demonstrates Industry's Highest Threat Prevention Rate in Miercom's Enterprise and Hybrid Mesh Firewall Security Report - Check Point Software (NASDAQ:CHKP)

VIENNA, Feb. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. CHKP, a pioneer and global leader of cyber security solutions, today revealed that the Infinity Platform has achieved an outstanding 99.9% block rate on Zero+1 day malware, a 99.7% phishing prevention rate, the highest security efficacy for Security Services Edge use cases, and an impressive 98% block rate on high and critical network intrusion exploits - as reflected in Miercom's 2025 security benchmark report. "Yet again, in a comparison between the top five cyber security companies, Miercom recognizes the Check Point Infinity Platform for delivering the industry's highest threat prevention rate," said Eyal Manor, VP of Product Management at Check Point Software. "With cyber attacks growing 44% year-over-year, preventing and detecting threats is essential to protecting our digital way of life. These Miercom results validate our exceptional ability to not only accurately detect and block new malware and critical events, but also to provide the best cyber security product quality to customers, year after year." This year, Miercom introduced an important firewall comparison to reflect the quality of cyber security products, by assessing their vulnerability to being hacked. Leveraging CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) database, Miercom highlighted Check Point as having the best record - with one single KEV. The other top cyber security vendors had 11, 16, and 21 KEVs. With the advent of the hybrid mesh firewall platforms, Miercom's 2025 security report has expanded to provide a holistic view of threat prevention across all three hybrid firewall use cases: On-premises, Cloud, and Firewall-as-a-Service (SSE/SASE). The Check Point Infinity Platform delivers a comprehensive hybrid mesh firewall solution with exceptional threat prevention. "We proudly award Check Point with the Miercom Certified Secure certification in recognition of their superior competitive performance and exceptional value for organizations of all sizes," said Rob Smithers, CEO at Miercom. "Based on our latest head-to-head competitive test findings and observations, the Check Point Infinity Platform sets the standard in all of the security efficacy testing categories. In our benchmarks, the Infinity Platform offers the best protection against the latest generation of cyberattacks, including Zero+1 Day new malware. Check Point also enables enterprises to effectively prevent new malware from entering and spreading across their networks, servers, and endpoints, saving them time, money, stress, and resources." The report includes the following highlights: Zero+1 Day Malware Prevention vs Detection: Check Point led with the highest score preventing 99.9% of malware downloads. Other vendors ranged from 62.7% to 90.9%.SSE/SASE Threat Prevention: Check Point led with a 99% block rate. Other vendors ranged from 74% to 96%.Phishing Prevention: Check Point proved to have the best overall prevention against phishing URLs, making use of Quantum Firewall Software R82's advanced AI deep learning capabilities. Other vendors ranged from 55.87% to 98.69%. To understand vendors' threat prevention capabilities, Miercom ran benchmarks over the course of three months. Miercom continuously downloaded sets of 500 malicious files from VirusTotal, with samples consisting of Office docx, Office xlsx, pdf, exe, PowerShell, Bash script, APK, and dll and archived files. Miercom assessed each firewall solution using Anti-virus, IPS, Anti-bot, URLF, sandboxing, and all the AI\ML powered security engines. Testing was run concurrently on each vendor's solution to determine how well each blocks modern attacks.
