AI is reshaping enterprise environments faster than traditional security architectures can adapt. According to Check Point Research’s latest\u00a0AI Security Report,<\/a>\u00a0AI-powered intrusions are becoming increasingly common, while vulnerability exploitation windows have shrunk from\u00a0days\u00a0to\u00a0hours. Meanwhile, organizations are rapidly expanding their use of AI applications, autonomous agents, workforce AI tools, and AI infrastructure, even as only 5% have full visibility into AI tool usage across their organization, according to Check Point’s\u00a02026 Cloud Security<\/a>\u00a0Report<\/a>.<\/a>\u00a0This lack of visibility, combined with an increasingly aggressive threat landscape, is creating new security challenges that require a more unified approach to protection.<\/p>\n

To help organizations navigate this shift, Check Point combines AI-powered threat prevention, advanced threat intelligence, and unified security management into a single platform.\u00a0By using the network as the vehicle\u00a0for securing AI transformation,\u00a0Check Point enables organizations to apply consistent protections across users, applications, AI workloads, and infrastructure while reducing operational complexity. This approach extends from workforce AI and AI applications to\u00a0emerging\u00a0AI data center environments.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Enterprise security has reached a turning point,” said Jonathan Zanger, Chief Technology Officer at Check Point Software Technologies. “AI is transforming how organizations operate and multiplying the environments they have to defend, from applications and agents to entirely new infrastructure. We believe our recognition as a Leader reflects a platform built for exactly that: Hybrid Mesh Network Security, which keeps protection consistent from the enterprise edge to the AI data center, now managed with agentic orchestration.”<\/p>\n

We believe Check Point’s position as a Leader is fueled by the following key differentiators:\u00a0<\/p>\n
