Check Point earns CREST accreditation for penetration testing
Check Point Software Technologies has confirmed that its Infinity Global Services Penetration Testing team has been awarded CREST accreditation for penetration testing services. The CREST accreditation recognises companies that adhere to strict standards relating to technical capability, ethical conduct and quality assurance within the field of penetration testing. This status indicates that Check Point's services meet international benchmarks for diligence and credibility, providing customers with an additional layer of assurance in an increasingly regulated cyber environment. Check Point executives emphasise that the accreditation reflects both the company's methodology and ethical standards in offensive security. Eitan Lugassi, Vice President of Infinity Global Services at Check Point Software Technologies, stated, "This accreditation reflects our dedication to delivering the highest level of security assurance to our customers. CREST certification is a globally recognised symbol of quality and integrity. It tells our customers that they can trust our penetration testing to deliver meaningful insights, follow best practices and support compliance with international standards." Through CREST-accredited penetration testing, Check Point will now provide services designed to identify, assess and remedy vulnerabilities using proven methods and peer-reviewed processes. The accreditation process itself evaluates both organisational practices and technical proficiency to maintain high ethical and operational standards. CREST, as a not-for-profit accreditation body, provides certifications only after comprehensive audits of technical strategy, ethical frameworks and quality management systems within participating organisations. For Check Point, achieving this recognition demonstrates the strength of its internal controls and the expertise of its testing teams.

According to Check Point, its CREST-accredited penetration testing encompasses several core offerings. These include expert-led testing that simulates real-world cyber attack scenarios, which are structured around CREST-approved methodologies to ensure review consistency and technical precision. Actionable reporting forms another component, with each assessment delivering prioritised recommendations that clients can integrate into their security posture. The company also highlights the integration of testing programmes with up-to-date threat intelligence across sectors and regions. This is intended to foster ongoing improvement by adapting to evolving attack tactics and supporting large-scale IT environments. Check Point's service track record includes experience with millions of IT assets across various industries worldwide. As regulatory pressures increase, especially around compliance and transparency, CREST certification offers organisations assurance that their chosen security partners meet stringent industry standards for ethical behaviour and technical depth. Check Point claims its accredited service provides enhanced transparency and professionalism, giving clients greater confidence in the assessments conducted on their infrastructure. Key components of Check Point's accredited testing include the use of CREST-aligned methodologies, simulation of real-world attacks, recommendations prioritised for customer action, and integration of findings with threat intelligence for continual adaptation to the evolving threat landscape.

Why Cybersecurity Demands A New Kind Of Partnership
Shay Solomon, BD Director, Cybersecurity Services at Check Point Software Technologies Infinity Global Services. getty Today's businesses operate far beyond traditional boundaries. Teams work together remotely all over the globe, and operations run continuously in multiple environments. While this hyper-connection gives us the opportunity to supercharge our innovation and agility, it also significantly raises the exposure to risk for any organization. To mitigate these risks and thrive in today's economy, business leaders need practical strategies to make their organizations more resilient. Here are a few actionable insights you can implement today. The Answer Isn't More Technology; It's A New Operational Model Many companies respond to increasing complexity by investing heavily in more technologies and hiring additional in-house experts. While tools and talent are valuable, adding more solutions without strategic oversight often creates operational silos and leaves teams overstretched. What's needed isn't just more technology. It's a mindset shift: from managing everything internally to partnering with specialized experts who can bring focus, scale and round-the-clock vigilance. Rather than continuously adding tools, identify areas, such as cybersecurity, compliance and infrastructure monitoring, where specialized external partners can provide deeper expertise, scalability and continuous oversight. Outsourcing As A Strategic Move A common mistake executives make is trying to control everything internally, which often leads to inefficiencies and resource depletion. Today's best practice involves clearly distinguishing between internal capabilities and functions better served by external specialists. Nowadays, managed service providers are no longer just external vendors supplying basic support. They have evolved into embedded strategic partners who seamlessly integrate into the business itself. Conduct an internal capability review to distinguish between processes central to your strategic identity and those better managed by external specialists. Functions like continuous cybersecurity monitoring, compliance auditing and cloud infrastructure management frequently gain substantial advantages from strategic partnerships. Select partners who value co-management and can closely integrate with your internal teams. Clearly define roles and responsibilities for both parties, establishing shared KPIs and maintaining consistent and open communication to ensure alignment and accountability. In the end, collaboration should amplify your internal capabilities, with stronger outcomes being achieved than either partner could accomplish independently. Going From A Reactive To A Proactive Security Approach Nowadays, responding to threats only after they have escalated is not a sustainable practice. Business leaders must shift from reactive practices to proactive risk management, working alongside strategic partners who have a continuous and real-time security approach to your business. Look for partners who continuously monitor vulnerabilities and swiftly mitigate risks across complex, distributed environments. They can bring advanced threat detection capabilities and real-time analytics that are essential to effectively managing evolving cyber risks. Turning Compliance Into A Strategic Advantage Proactively managing compliance across multiple jurisdictions and regulations is another reason to leverage strategic partnerships. Compliance is often viewed as a burden rather than an opportunity. However, proactively managing compliance requirements can significantly strengthen your business' reputation and competitive positioning. When organizations demonstrate their commitment to regulatory excellence, they not only mitigate risks but also attract customers who prioritize reliability and transparency. Treat compliance as a competitive differentiator by demonstrating transparency, responsiveness and reliability to customers and stakeholders. This will position your business as a trusted market leader and attract customers from a variety of sectors. Strategic Partnerships Create Resilient Organizations Resilience is not achieved in isolation but through strategic collaboration. CEOs who effectively leverage external partners for their security operations can empower their organizations to rise above their competitors in terms of growth, profitability and sustainability. By embracing strategic collaboration, proactively managing risk and turning compliance into a competitive edge, leaders can build organizations designed not just to withstand disruption, but to thrive because of it.
