Core offering

Check Point Software Technologies sells the Check Point Infinity Platform, a unified AI-powered, prevention-first cybersecurity platform organized around four pillars: Hybrid Mesh Network Security (Quantum firewalls, CloudGuard, SASE), Workspace Security (Harmony email, endpoint, mobile, browser, SaaS), Exposure Management (ThreatCloud AI, CAASM, prioritization), and AI Security (Workforce AI, AI Red Teaming, AI Agent Security). The company also provides managed security services (Infinity MDR/MPR), professional services, training, and certified security hardware appliances for enterprise and government customers.

Product overview

Check Point Software Technologies sells a unified cybersecurity platform called the Check Point Infinity Platform, organized around four pillars — Hybrid Mesh Network Security, Workspace Security (Harmony), Exposure Management, and AI Security — plus a set of shared Infinity Core Services (Infinity MDR/MPR, XDR/XPR, Playblocks, Events, AI Copilot, and the ThreatCloud AI threat-intelligence engine). Hybrid Mesh Network Security is delivered through the Quantum Next-Generation Firewall family (including Quantum AI Factory Firewalls, Quantum Maestro Hyperscale, Quantum SD-WAN, Quantum Remote Access VPN, and the Smart-1 Security Management Appliances), CloudGuard cloud network security and CNAPP, and the Check Point SASE suite (Private Access, Internet Access, Enterprise Browser). Workspace Security is delivered through Harmony Email & Collaboration, Harmony Endpoint, Harmony Mobile, Harmony Browse, and Harmony SaaS (built on the acquired Atmosec technology). Exposure Management combines ThreatCloud AI, Threat Intelligence, Exposure Prioritization, Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (now powered by the acquired Cyclops), Safe Remediation, and the new Agentic Exposure Validation AI-agent product. The AI Security pillar introduces Workforce AI Security, AI Red Teaming, AI Agent Security (leveraging the acquired Cyata and Lakera technologies), and AI Runtime Protection, all governed by the AI Defense Plane architecture. The portfolio is rounded out by the Infinity Global Services and CPR ACT service portfolios, and recent strategic acquisitions — Lakera, Cyclops, Cyata, Rotate, Deepchecks, Atmosec, and Perimeter 81 — that extend AI, CAASM, MSSP, evaluation, SaaS, and SASE capabilities into the Infinity Platform.
