Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a pioneer and global leader in cybersecurity solutions, today announced Check Point AI Defense Plane , a unified AI security control plan designed to help companies govern how AI is connected, deployed, and operated across the enterprise. As AI systems move from assistants to autonomous actors that access data, invoke tools, and take action, the AI Defense Plane provides the intelligence layer needed to secure the era of agents.
”Enterprises are entering the era of agents. AI is no longer limited to generating content. It is starting to access systems, use tools, chain actions, and operate with increasing autonomy. That is changing the security paradigm,” said David Haber, VP of AI security at Check Point Software Technologies. ”The challenge is no longer just what AI says, but what AI can do. Organizations need more than model security. They need runtime control over how AI behaves in real-world environments. The AI defense plane provides that control over employees, applications, and AI agents.”
As companies move AI systems into production, the attack surface expands beyond prompts and models to include agent workflows, delegated actions, non-human access, and shadow agents operating in real-world business environments.
Built on Check Point AI Security Platform and enhanced by technologies from ThreatCloud AI and the company's recent acquisition of Lacquer and Cyata, the AI defense plane combines discovery, governance, observability, runtime control, and continuous validation throughout the AI execution lifecycle.
The core of the AI defense plan is Checkpoints AI-powered security engine – a real-time decision engine based on analysis of millions of AI interactions, enemy testing, and real-time threat intelligence, creating a security loop that strengthens as AI systems evolve. The platform delivers adaptive protection in under 50 milliseconds in more than 100 languages, helping preventative measures operate at machine speed as attacks become increasingly automated.
While most methods focus on model protection, ensuring Checkpoint how AI actually behaves in production. The AI defense plane is designed to maintain control where AI risks to businesses become real: at runtime, in live environments, and in all workflows that connect AI to business operations.
The AI defense plane contains three main modules:
- AI safety for employees: Provides visibility, governance, and runtime protection for how employees use AI-powered applications. The module enforces policies in real-time, reduces the risk of sensitive data exposure, and enables secure productivity across approved and unapproved AI tools.
- AI application and agent security: Provides control over the identification, posture, and runtime of AI applications and agent systems embedded throughout the enterprise. Organizations can identify where AI exists, understand what data and tools it can access, evaluate how it behaves, and control the permissions and trust relationships that shape the execution of agents.
- AI Red Teaming: Enables continuous adversarial testing of prompts, reasoning paths, workflows, tool usage, and agent behavior. It helps organizations detect exploit vulnerabilities early and strengthen resilience as AI systems move from prototype to production.
”Red teaming has become crucial for agent systems,” says George Davis, product manager at Sierra. ”When AI can query infrastructure, trigger workflows, and interact with sensitive data, the risk is no longer theoretical. Organizations need continuous testing to understand how these systems can be manipulated, where controls break down, and how resilient they are in production.”
Availability and RSA Conference Details
- AI Defense Plan: Part of Check Point's AI security portfolio
