Check Point has announced a detailed approach to improve the security of enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) applications, highlighting three acquisitions intended to strengthen its AI security capabilities. This initiative is built around four main components: Hybrid Mesh Network Security, Workspace Security, Exposure Management, and AI Security, which together form a cohesive framework for organizations utilizing various environments like cloud services and remote workforces.
The landscape of workplace AI is evolving from simple productivity tools to more sophisticated systems, introducing new vulnerabilities that attackers are keen to exploit. As businesses increasingly embrace AI technologies, they face heightened risks related to the misuse of AI tools and permissions. Check Point's strategy emphasizes preventive measures and the ability to operate across multiple vendors to address these challenges effectively.
The first component, Hybrid Mesh Network Security, is designed to protect distributed networks that encompass hybrid cloud setups and on-premises data centers. Workspace Security focuses on securing the daily applications used by employees, while Exposure Management seeks to improve insight into an organization’s potential attack surfaces by prioritizing risks based on business relevance. Finally, AI Security tackles the growing use of AI technologies in enterprises, ensuring that the management of identities and permissions for AI tools is robust and secure.
