Check Point Software and Wiz signed a cooperation agreement

Check Point Software Technologies has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Wiz, a leader in cloud security. This combination of two tech giants aims to strengthen the protection of hybrid environments in the cloud, which are becoming increasingly prevalent in businesses worldwide.

Check Point’s partnership with Wiz integrates technologies that provide security in both cloud networks and Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP). This integration is supposed to eliminate existing security gaps and provide comprehensive protection for complex hybrid environments.

Nadav Zafrir, CEO of Check Point, emphasized: “Our partnership is a step towards creating a new security paradigm – combining Check Point’s experience in cloud network protection with Wiz’s leadership in CNAPP. Together we are changing the way organizations manage risk, enabling teams to work more effectively and with greater control.”

Complexity of today’s cloud environments

Modern enterprises operate in increasingly complex environments, where network security and cloud security often operate in separate silos. Lack of integration between teams responsible for network security and those dealing with cloud security leads to critical gaps and controls. Teams dealing with cloud security do not always understand how cloud network security sensors protect resources, while teams responsible for networks do not have a complete picture of cloud-specific risks. This kind of fragmentation results in improper configurations, inefficiency, and an increase in cyber-attack risk. The answer is the partnership between Check Point and Wiz.

Support and migration to cloud solutions

The partnership also foresees joint integration and migration of Check Point customers to the Wiz platform for CNAPP. As a result, Check Point plans to increase investment in the development of its business related to cloud security, including in the area of ​​cloud network protection, web application firewalls (WAF), generative AI (GenAI) and other key cloud technologies.

Commitment to cloud security innovations

The collaboration between Check Point and Wiz underscores the long-term commitment of both companies to developing innovative security solutions and addressing the most pressing challenges related to data protection in the cloud, faced by modern enterprises.
