Check Point advances AI security vision with four-pillar strategy and acquisitions

Check Point Software Technologies introduced its four-pillar strategy designed to help organizations securely navigate the AI era, alongside three strategic acquisitions that reinforce its platform and demonstrate execution of this vision.

As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms enterprise operations, from employee productivity tools to autonomous systems, it is also reshaping the cyber threat landscape. In response, Check Point is advancing a unified, prevention-first platform built to secure the full scope of modern enterprise environments.

At the core of this strategy are four pillars that reflect how organizations operate today.

Hybrid Mesh Network Security protects distributed enterprises across hybrid cloud, data centers, branch networks, and internet environments through a unified, AI-powered architecture.

Workspace Security focuses on securing the modern digital workspace — including endpoints, browsers, email, SaaS applications, and collaboration platforms — where users increasingly interact with AI technologies.

Exposure Management provides comprehensive visibility into organizational attack surfaces, enabling risk prioritization based on business context rather than isolated alerts.

AI Security protects the full lifecycle of AI adoption, including employee usage, enterprise AI applications, and autonomous AI agents.

These capabilities are delivered through Check Point’s open platform approach, often described as an “open garden” model, designed to integrate seamlessly with existing security ecosystems while providing prevention-first protection across multi-vendor environments.

To reinforce this strategy, Check Point announced the acquisitions of Cyata, Cyclops, and Rotate.

Cyata, founded in 2024 by Shahar Tal, Baruch Weitzman, and Dror Roth, has developed an AI agent identity management platform that enables organizations to discover active AI agents, map permissions, monitor behavior, and enforce automated security policies.

Cyclops, founded in 2021 by Eran Zilberman, Elly Guetta, and Biran Franko, provides a Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management platform that consolidates data across environments to deliver comprehensive asset visibility and risk prioritization.

Rotate, an all-in-one platform purpose-built for managed service providers, enhances centralized protection across distributed workforces and SaaS environments.

Roi Karo, Chief Strategy Officer at Check Point, said: “As AI reshapes how organizations operate and how threats evolve, security must be fundamentally rethought. Our four-pillar strategy provides a clear framework to secure networks, workspaces, exposure risks, and AI-driven environments as a unified platform. The acquisitions we are announcing today demonstrate how we are executing on this vision and helping customers securely navigate the AI transformation.”
