AI security is getting attention because AI has stopped being a side experiment.  It is now part of how work gets done. Employees use copilots to write, research, code, and analyze. Product teams are adding AI into customer experiences. Developers are building applications on top of foundation models. Business teams are experimenting with agents that can read email, summarize documents, query data, and trigger workflows.  That is a very different world from the one many AI review processes were designed for.  An AI system can pass a benchmark and still fail in production. It can behave safely in a clean test environment and then encounter real […]

The model behind a security workflow shapes how fast a threat is caught, how accurately an incident is investigated, and how much a defender can trust the result. We treat that choice with care. Today we’re taking a clear step forward: Check Point has joined OpenAI’s Daybreak initiative through its Trusted Access for Cyber (TAC) program. These are real steps in how we bring AI into our defensive operations, and in the security we deliver to our customers. What Trusted Access for Cyber Gives Us Trusted Access for Cyber is OpenAI’s program for vetted security organizations that need its most […]

Enterprise security has always had a comforting assumption baked into it: systems do what they were built to do. Sometimes badly. Sometimes insecurely. Sometimes in ways that make auditors develop a nervous twitch. But still, the basic shape was understandable. Applications processed requests. Databases stored data. APIs connected systems. Users clicked things they probably should not have clicked. Then AI arrived and made the whole thing a little weird. AI did not introduce one neat new risk category. Security teams are very good at turning new risk categories into taxonomies, dashboards, and meetings with names like “working group.” The real […]

Networks used to be simple. A perimeter. A data center. A set of rules a single engineer could hold in their head. That world is long gone. Every wave of enterprise transformation – cloud migration, M&A, hybrid multi-cloud, IoT, remote work – added another layer of complexity. Each with its own topology, traffic patterns, and security assumptions. The complexity grew exponentially. And security followed, manually – more policies to author, more configurations to validate, more vendors to manage. The part that doesn’t show up in vendor presentations is that modern network security runs on institutional know-how. It lives in the […]

AI is changing how software works. Applications no longer just process requests. They reason, make decisions, and take action. AI agents now retrieve data, invoke tools, and execute workflows across systems in real time. That shift introduces a new kind of risk. Because in an agentic world, security is no longer just about who has access. It’s about what AI is allowed to do. A new control point for agentic systems in Google Cloud Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform provides a centralized control point for agentic systems enabling identity, access, policy enforcement, and observability across how agents operate. This […]

Anthropic’s reported development of Claude Mythos signals a shift: AI is compressing attack timelines by accelerating vulnerability discovery, exploit development, and multi-step attack planning. More broadly, AI is increasing the speed and scale of attacks across malware, phishing, and vulnerabilities. Attackers can now run these vectors in parallel, reducing time to compromise and increasing exposure. AI also enables more targeted phishing, faster malware iteration, and rapid vulnerability discovery, exposing gaps in detection and exposure management earlier and requiring prevention-first controls and real-time detection. To see how these challenges translate into real-world performance, and how leading security vendors handle them under […]

Check Point is proud to integrate with NVIDIA DSX Air’s testing environment, enabling organizations to pre-validate their security aware AI data center designs before ever deploying their first piece of hardware in production to build and run their own AI.  Testing AI Factory deployments end-to-end is challenging and can require complex multi-vendor orchestration. From compute to networking, orchestration, and security, ensuring integrations, configurations and automations perform as expected can become resource-intensive with so many factors at play.   Now, organizations can perform large-scale cyber security validation testing before deploying AI Factories, using the NVIDIA DSX Air cloud-based simulation and validation platform.  Why are Organizations Building Their […]

Of course, organizations see risk. It’s just that they struggle to turn insight into timely, safe action. That gap is why exposure management has emerged, and also why it is now becoming a foundational security discipline. What the diagram makes clear is that risk doesn’t stay flat while organizations deliberate. From the moment an exposure is discovered and is reachable, exploitable, and known – the clock starts ticking. As time passes, environments change, dependencies grow, and attackers adapt faster. Remediation workflows fall behind. Manual coordination, unclear ownership, and fear of disruption all extend what is increasingly referred to as ‘exposure […]

As businesses and service providers deploy AI tools and systems, having strong cyber security across the entire AI pipeline is a foundational requirement, from design to deployment. Even at this stage of AI adoption, attacks on AI infrastructure and prompt-based manipulation are gaining traction. Per a recent Gartner report, 32% of organizations have already experienced an AI attack involving prompt manipulation, while 29% faced attacks on their GenAI infrastructure in the past year. Nearly 70% of cyber security leaders said emerging GenAI risks demand significant changes to existing cyber security approaches. And a recent Lakera survey found that only 19% of organizations […]
