(NASDAQ: CHKP) has announced the launch of its next-generation Quantum Smart-1 Management Appliances. The company is a global leader in cybersecurity solutions. The new appliances deliver a 2X increase in managed gateways. They also offer up to 70% higher log processing speeds. These improvements are designed to meet the complex demands of hybrid enterprises. Check Point revealed that the appliances are fully integrated into the Check Point Infinity Platform. This integration enhances threat detection and response using a hybrid mesh architecture. It also supports connections with over 250 third-party solutions. Nataly Kremer, Chief Product Officer at Check Point, stated that security teams are under pressure from AI-generated threats and fragmented infrastructures. She said the new appliances simplify these challenges through AI, automation, and precision. The rise of remote work and distributed teams has increased vulnerabilities. Check Point Research reported that AI services are now used in over 51% of enterprise networks each month. This growth widens security risks, making advanced security policies essential. According to Check Point, the Quantum Smart-1 Management Appliances help security teams operate faster and smarter across on-premises, cloud, and remote environments. Key features include: Managing up to 10,000 gateways, enabling scale without rearchitecting. Achieving up to 70% higher log speeds for faster threat response. Storing up to 70TB of logs locally to meet compliance needs. The appliances unify security operations and reduce complexity in hybrid environments. They are available in five models, including the high-performance 7000 Ultra. Check Point confirmed that the new models support tools like Infinity AI Copilot, Playblocks, Policy Advisor, Compliance, and Infinity AIOps. These tools streamline policy and firewall management. Miercom recently named Check Point the top performer in its AI-Powered Cyber Security Platform Benchmark. The report recognized Check Point's superior management usability and threat prevention. Rob Smithers, CEO of Miercom, said Check Point's Infinity Platform outperformed its peers. He added that its AI-driven design and hybrid mesh model set a new standard in cybersecurity.

Check Point to acquire Veriti, boosting threat management suite
Check Point Software Technologies has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Veriti Cybersecurity, expanding its offering in threat exposure and risk management. The acquisition aims to strengthen Check Point's Infinity Platform with Veriti's automated, multi-vendor platform for pre-emptive threat exposure and mitigation. Veriti is recognised for introducing pre-emptive exposure management that delivers automated remediation of threat exposure risks across more than 70 security vendors, without disrupting ongoing operations. Nadav Zafrir, Chief Executive Officer at Check Point Software Technologies, said, "The acquisition of Veriti marks a significant step toward realising our hybrid mesh security vision. 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." The announcement addresses the growing challenge of AI-enabled cyber attacks and the complexities brought about by hyperconnected IT environments in modern enterprises. As organisations distribute their assets across clouds, datacentres, and endpoints, the risk of cyber attacks grows due to an expanded attack surface. Traditional reactive security methods are considered inadequate to address these increased risks effectively. Veriti's platform continuously identifies, prioritises, and remediates risk in multi-vendor security environments through automated patching and collaborative threat intelligence. The company, founded in 2021, has pioneered the Preemptive Exposure Management (PEM) category by actively discovering and mitigating risks that can be hidden in gaps between disparate security tools. The technology continuously monitors logs, threat indicators, and vulnerabilities present in an organisation's environment, and then coordinates protections in real time. Its integrations cover more than 70 security vendors, enabling security teams to detect and prevent attacks promptly without business disruption. Veriti's core capabilities to be integrated into the Check Point Infinity Platform include automated, cross-vendor virtual patching, which instantly applies non-disruptive protections based on vulnerabilities identified by security platforms such as CrowdStrike, Tenable, and Rapid7. This approach can reduce patching time from several weeks to a matter of minutes. The platform also enables real-time threat intelligence enforcement by verifying threat indicators from any connected tool, and orchestrating automated protection across firewalls, endpoints, web application firewalls, and cloud platforms. This coordination is designed to improve response times and effectiveness in multi-vendor security scenarios. An additional aspect of Veriti's offering is its seamless integration with existing environments through an API-based architecture, which does not require software agents or cause operational disruptions. The platform is compatible with more than 70 security vendors and supports a wide ecosystem. Veriti also extends its synergy with Wiz by ingesting Wiz's cloud exposure insights, such as information on unpatched servers or applications, and enables safe, automated virtual patching via Check Point or other vendors' network gateways. The platform's context-aware remediation analyses an organisation's exposures, configurations, and existing protections to apply appropriate controls in a manner that does not impair operations. Adi Ikan, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Veriti, said, "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." He added, "We founded Veriti to help organisations 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 organisations reduce their exposure faster through the security tools they already trust." Upon completion of the transaction, Veriti's capabilities will be incorporated into Check Point's Infinity Platform as part of its Threat Exposure and Risk Management suite. Combined with Check Point's recent External Risk Management solution, Veriti enhances the company's ability to address internal and external exposures across the complete enterprise attack surface. The finalisation of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected by the end of the second quarter of 2025.
