Check Point Software brings prevention-first AI-powered security to GISEC Global 2026

Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd., a pioneer and global leader of cyber security solutions, will bring its prevention-first approach to GISEC GLOBAL 2026, taking place from September 16–18 at the Dubai Exhibition Centre, Expo City Dubai. The company will demonstrate how it is applying prevention-first security as organisations accelerate AI adoption, including the growing use of AI applications and autonomous agents, while protecting increasingly connected environments. This reflects Check Point’s mission to secure enterprises’ AI transformation with prevention-first security across AI systems, hybrid networks, cloud environments and digital workspaces.

AI is changing both how organisations operate and how cyber attacks are carried out. Check Point Research’s AI Security Report 2026 found that AI has moved from assisting attackers to performing hands-on work during live intrusions, with activity observed across both nation-state and criminal operations. The findings show that AI is already operating within real-world attacks, carrying out tasks with minimal human direction. As attackers increasingly use AI to automate reconnaissance, scale phishing, accelerate vulnerability discovery and support live intrusion activity, organisations need security that can anticipate, prevent and control AI-driven risk before it reaches users, data or business-critical systems.

“AI is becoming an increasingly important part of how organisations across the Middle East operate and innovate, but it is also changing the way security teams need to think about risk,” said Diego Arrabal Orensanz, VP, EEMEA, Check Point Software Technologies. “As AI applications and autonomous agents become more widely used, organisations need greater visibility into where AI is being used, where exposure exists and how to prevent threats before they impact the business. GISEC provides an important opportunity to engage directly with organisations across the region on these priorities.”

 At GISEC, four dedicated demonstration pods will cover AI Security, Exposure Management, Hybrid Mesh Network Security and Workspace Security. Each pod will feature live demonstrations and customer use cases, giving customers and prospects the opportunity to explore how Check Point addresses practical security challenges across the modern enterprise.

Within AI Security, Check Point will demonstrate the recently announced industry-first AI Network Firewall alongside the AI Defense Plane, while showing how organisations can discover AI usage, govern employee and application access, protect autonomous agents and prevent emerging AI-driven threats. Together, these capabilities reflect Check Point’s unified security architecture, designed to deliver consistent prevention, visibility and control across multivendor environments without adding operational complexity.

As organisations face an expanding volume of potential weaknesses, Exposure Management will address the challenge of determining where genuine risk lies. Check Point will highlight Risk Management and Automated Exposure Validation (AEV) as part of its broader Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) approach, helping security teams assess, validate and prioritise exposures. Check Point’s 2026 Exposure Gap Report found that vulnerabilities accounted for 42.6% of critical exposures, up from 18.7% in 2025.

The broader security environment will also be addressed through Hybrid Mesh Network Security, with a focus on protecting infrastructure as applications, workloads and users operate across on-premises environments, cloud and other connected locations. Workspace Security extends this focus to the users and devices accessing business applications and data across distributed work environments.

 The GISEC presence will also provide an opportunity for Check Point to engage directly with customers and prospects from across the region, discussing their security priorities and approaches to securing AI adoption, while meeting with strategic channel partners. These engagements form part of the company’s continued investment in the Middle East, including the expansion of its regional team.

Check Point will be present in Hall 6, Booth D-105, where visitors can meet with the team and explore its latest security capabilities. Visitors can also connect with Check Point at CPX in Hall 3, Booth A80.

At GISEC GLOBAL 2026, Check Point will demonstrate how its prevention-first, AI-powered security approach helps organisations securely adopt AI, reduce exposure, and protect users, applications, networks and workspaces across increasingly complex digital environments.
