The cybersecurity company Check Point Software today releases new features in the Infinity Platform to accelerate zero trust, strengthen proactive protection, minimize complexity, and simplify security operations.

Challenges with downpipe-like security solutions

Many businesses rely on silo-style security solutions. IT teams are tasked with deploying security tools designed to provide a certain level of protection across the network, endpoints, E-mail and cloud environments. This siloed approach requires dozens of systems to manage, leading to operational challenges, fragmented policies, and security gaps. At the same time, cyberattacks increased by 44 percent compared to last year, putting extreme pressure on security teams.

• We live in a hyper-connected, digital world with new cyber threats emerging every day, says Nataly Kremer, Chief Product Officer on CheckpointMeanwhile, security teams struggle to adequately prevent cyberattacks due to complex and sloppy security solutionsWe are pleased to present several new AI-driven innovations that minimize complexity and empower Infinity Platform Unified Security Management FeaturesOur customers will experience improved proactive protection, while making it very easy to collaborate with third-party products.

AI-powered innovations for improved cybersecurity

The siloed nature of hybrid environments requires security teams to review and reconcile policies and processes across dozens of systems and tools. These tasks are often performed manually, slowing down operations and leading to deficiencies in zero trust, threat remediation, and infrastructure management, resulting in increased risk of cyberattacks and system errors. Check Point's six new and improved AI-powered innovations accelerates operations and improves threat prevention in three ways:

1. Unified identity and policy: By utilizing AI and identity awareness, administrators can implement more effective and granular security policies, ensuring that only authorized users have access to critical resources. By simplifying visibility and analysis of policies across environments, security teams can maintain security hygiene and compliance.
2. Threat prevention through collaboration: AI can help businesses identify and block threats across multiple locations in real time, eliminating human mistakes and reduces the time to fix problems.
3. Simplified operation: AI-based insights can minimize time-consuming work to streamline operations across the security chain, resulting in improved zero trust, better lifecycle management, and less infrastructure downtime.
