Check Point Software Technologies has outlined a four-pillar AI security strategy and announced three acquisitions aimed at strengthening its platform across AI governance, exposure management and managed services.
The company said its updated framework is designed to address risks emerging from rapid enterprise adoption of AI, including employee-facing tools, enterprise AI applications and autonomous agents.
Check Point’s strategy is structured around four areas: Hybrid Mesh Network Security, Workspace Security, Exposure Management and AI Security. Together, the pillars are intended to provide unified protection across hybrid cloud environments, branch networks, endpoints, SaaS platforms and AI-driven workflows.
Hybrid Mesh Network Security focuses on securing distributed infrastructure across cloud, data centre and internet-connected environments. Workspace Security targets endpoints, browsers, collaboration platforms and SaaS applications, where employees increasingly interact with AI tools. Exposure Management aims to consolidate asset visibility and prioritise risks based on business impact. AI Security addresses governance and lifecycle protection for AI systems and autonomous agents.
Roi Karo (pictured), Chief Strategy Officer at Check Point, said: “As AI reshapes how organisations 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.”
To support the strategy, Check Point has acquired three companies.
Cyata, founded in 2024, develops AI agent identity management technology designed to discover AI agents, map permissions and enforce automated policies. Cyclops provides a cyber asset attack surface management platform intended to deliver consolidated asset visibility and risk context across environments. Rotate focuses on managed service providers, offering centralised protection for distributed workforces and SaaS-based environments.
Financial terms of the acquisitions were not disclosed in the announcement, with additional details referenced in the company’s fourth quarter and full-year earnings report.
The move reflects broader industry efforts to integrate AI governance and exposure management into core cybersecurity platforms, as vendors seek to address emerging risks associated with AI-driven enterprise operations.
