Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., a global leader in cybersecurity, has announced the introduction of new capabilities to its Infinity Platform. These innovations, powered by AI, aim to enhance zero-trust architecture, streamline threat prevention, reduce operational complexity, and simplify security management. As cyber threats evolve and organizations face increased pressure, Check Point’s new features are designed to address the challenges of fragmented, siloed security systems.
1. The Challenge of Siloed Security Systems
- IT teams often rely on siloed security tools that address specific threats across network, endpoints, email, and cloud environments.
- These systems, though effective in isolation, create operational challenges such as fragmented policies and security gaps.
- The complexity of managing multiple systems leads to delays in threat resolution, creating significant vulnerabilities.
2. AI-Powered Innovations to Strengthen Security
- Unified Identity & Policy: AI-driven identity awareness enables granular security policies, ensuring that only authorized users access critical resources. This unifies visibility and analysis across environments for improved compliance.
- Quantum Policy Insights: Analyzes existing policies and recommends changes to strengthen security posture and enforce zero trust.
- Quantum Policy Auditor: Ensures alignment with corporate security guidelines and automates policy reconciliation, saving weeks of manual work.
- Infinity Identity: Centralizes identity management across the platform and integrates seamlessly with third-party providers like Microsoft Defender and Intune.
3. Collaborative Threat Prevention
- Infinity Playblocks: Automates security operations across the Infinity Platform and integrates third-party solutions. It offers over 100 out-of-the-box playbooks for threat prevention and remediation.
- Custom playbooks can be created using natural language GenAI, making it easier to extend the reach of siloed security solutions.
4. Operational Simplicity through AI Insights
- Infinity AIOps: AI agents monitor security infrastructure health, predicting and mitigating potential failures in advance.
- Infinity AI Copilot: A GenAI-powered assistant that provides contextualized support to security admins, helping them quickly navigate policies and improve incident response.
- The AI Copilot is a powerful tool that accelerates administration and collaboration across the entire Infinity Platform.
Check Point’s new AI-powered capabilities offer a comprehensive solution to the complexities of modern cybersecurity. By unifying identity and policy, enhancing threat prevention, and simplifying operations, these innovations empower organizations to accelerate their zero-trust initiatives and strengthen their defenses against emerging threats. As cyber-attacks continue to rise, Check Point’s platform ensures that security teams can operate more efficiently and with greater confidence.
