Check Point Acquires Veriti

AI-fueled attacks and hyperconnected IT environments have made threat exposure one of the most urgent cybersecurity challenges facing enterprises today. In response, Check Point Software Technologies has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Veriti Cybersecurity, the first fully automated, multi-vendor pre-emptive threat exposure and mitigation platform.
'The acquisition of Veriti marks a significant step toward realizing our hybrid mesh security vision,' said Nadav Zafrir, CEO at Check Point Software Technologies. 'It strengthens the Infinity Platform's open-garden approach, enabling seamless, multi-vendor remediation across the entire security stack. With Veriti, we're advancing preemptive, prevention-first security – an imperative in today's AI-driven threat landscape.'
AI has brought cyber security to a tipping point, enabling the launch of attacks at scale. At the same time, enterprises are hyperconnected, with assets spread across clouds, datacenters, and endpoints, vastly expanding their attack surface. Traditional reactive security is too slow. Veriti continuously identifies, prioritizes, and remediates risk across your multi-vendor environment through automated patching and collaborative threat intelligence, all without disrupting business.
Founded in 2021, Veriti pioneered the Preemptive Exposure Management (PEM) category—actively discovering and mitigating risks across siloed tools. Veriti continuously monitors logs, threat indicators, and vulnerabilities identified across the environment and propagates protections in real time. With integrations into over 70 vendors, it empowers security teams to detect, understand, and prevent attacks without delay.
Core capabilities Veriti brings to the Check Point Infinity Platform: Automated, cross-vendor virtual patching: Veriti instantly applies risk-free, non-disruptive protections across dozens of third-party tools, based on vulnerabilities identified by platforms like CrowdStrike, Tenable, and Rapid7, dramatically reducing patching time from weeks to minutes.

Stronger synergy with Wiz: Veriti ingests Wiz's cloud exposure insights, such as vulnerable, unpatched cloud servers or applications, and enables automatic, safe virtual patching of those assets through Check Point gateways (and other vendors' as well), enhancing Check Point's ability to execute on its strategic partnership with Wiz.

Safe, context-aware remediation: Veriti analyzes each customer's environment, including exposures, configurations, and existing protections, to apply the right controls safely, and without operational impact.
'Security teams today suffer from a lack of action: exposures aren't just detected, they're compounding, hiding in the gaps between tools, teams, and timelines,' said Adi Ikan, CEO and co-founder of Veriti. 'We founded Veriti to help organizations not just see risk, but remediate it safely, at scale, and most importantly – without disruption. By joining Check Point, we're accelerating that mission. Together, we'll help organizations reduce their exposure faster through the security tools they already trust.'
Following the closure of the transaction, Veriti's capabilities will be integrated into the Check Point Infinity Platform as part of the Threat Exposure and Risk Management offering. Combined with the recently added External Risk Management (ERM) solution, Veriti enhances Check Point's ability to deliver complete risk lifecycle coverage—proactively managing both internal and external exposures across the entire attack surface.
The closing of the transaction is subject to the customary closing conditions and is expected to occur by the end of Q2 2025. 0 0

Tenable Announces Intent to Acquire Apex Security

Tenable has announced its intent to acquire Apex Security , an innovator in securing the rapidly expanding AI attack surface. Tenable believes the acquisition, once completed, will strengthen Tenable's ability to help organizations identify and reduce cyber risk in a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence. Generative AI tools and autonomous systems are rapidly expanding the attack surface and introducing new risks — from shadow AI apps and AI-generated code to synthetic identities and ungoverned cloud services. In 2024, Tenable launched Tenable AI Aware which already helps thousands of organizations detect and assess AI usage across their environments. Adding Apex capabilities will expand on that foundation — adding the ability to govern usage, enforce policy, and control exposure across both the AI that organizations use and the AI they build. This move reinforces Tenable's long-standing strategy of delivering scalable, unified exposure management as AI adoption accelerates. 'AI dramatically expands the attack surface, introducing dynamic, fast-moving risks most organizations aren't prepared for,' said Steve Vintz, Co-CEO and CFO, Tenable. 'Tenable's strategy has always been to stay ahead of attack surface expansion — not just managing exposures, but eliminating them before they can be exploited.' 'As organizations move quickly to adopt AI, many recognize that now is the moment to get ahead of the risk — before large-scale attacks materialize,' said Mark Thurmond, Co-CEO, Tenable. 'Apex delivers the visibility, context, and control security teams need to reduce AI-generated exposure proactively. It will be a powerful addition to the Tenable One platform and a perfect fit for our preemptive approach to cybersecurity.' Founded in 2023, Apex attracted early interest from CISOs and top investors, including Sam Altman (OpenAI), Clem Delangue (Hugging Face), and venture capital firms Sequoia Capital and Index Ventures. The company quickly emerged as an innovator in securing the use of AI by developers and everyday employees alike — addressing the growing need to manage usage, enforce policy, and ensure compliance at scale. 'The AI attack surface is deeply intertwined with everything else organizations are already securing. Treating it as part of exposure management is the most strategic approach. We're excited to join forces with Tenable to help customers manage AI risk in context — not as a silo, but as part of their broader environment,' said Matan Derman, CEO and Co-Founder of Apex Security. Following the acquisition close, Tenable expects to deliver integrated capabilities in the second half of 2025 as part of Tenable One — the industry's first and most comprehensive exposure management platform. The financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The deal is expected to close later this quarter. 0 0
