Check Point Software Technologies has announced a new version of its Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator, positioning the system at organisations building high-throughput AI infrastructure such as neocloud providers, telecommunications operators, government “sovereign AI” projects and enterprises modernising data centres.
The company said the Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator 200 (MHO 200) is designed to help security teams inspect growing volumes of mostly encrypted traffic without disabling advanced threat prevention features to maintain performance, a trade-off it argues remains common in large-scale environments.
According to Check Point, the MHO 200 delivers 12.8 Tbps of total fabric capacity and up to 4.5 Tbps of threat prevention throughput per Maestro system in a 1RU form factor, and adds 400GbE ports aimed at “AI-scale” data centre traffic.
“AI is forcing a rethink of network capacity planning. Training, inference and agentic workloads are driving east-west traffic inside the data centre to levels most security architectures were not designed for, and much of it is encrypted,” said Pete Finalle, Research Manager, Security and Trust at IDC. “Organisations should not have to choose between inspecting that traffic and keeping it moving. Security platforms that can scale threat prevention elastically, without overprovisioning hardware, will be essential for neoclouds, telcos and enterprises building AI infrastructure.”
Check Point said the platform can combine firewalls of different models and generations into a single system and can be split into up to eight independent security groups, each with separate policy rules.
In its product claims, Check Point said the MHO 200 provides four times the fabric capacity compared with the company’s MHO 175, increases threat-prevention throughput from 1.1 Tbps to 4.5 Tbps per Maestro system, and supports automatic failover across two sites for “99.999% uptime”.
“AI is changing the scale at which networks need to be protected,” Nataly Kremer, Chief Product Officer, Check Point Software Technologies. “We started by bringing AI security into the firewall, then added agentic automation to network operations. Now we are taking that protection to AI scale. Too many organisations are still forced to choose between performance and prevention. With the MHO 200, they can inspect all their traffic at AI speed, grow capacity as demand rises, and keep their operations running through failures.”
The announcement comes as data centre operators and enterprises increase bandwidth and encryption use, while also facing pressure to maintain uptime. Vendors are responding with higher-speed security architectures and automation designed to keep pace with east-west traffic growth driven by AI training and inference workloads.
Check Point said the MHO 200 is available in all regions via its product catalogue.
