Wiz and Check Point are entering a strategic partnership to bridge the gap between cloud network security and CNAPP. This partnership promises efficient risk prioritization and prevention, offering a holistic approach to end-to-end cloud security.

Data Loss Prevention has regained prominence in recent years due to large scale breaches and increasingly stringent regulatory requirements. Vendors with varying tech heritages have been lining up to employ new technologies and techniques against this seemingly never-ending problem.

Check Point's new MCP Server enables secure, structured integration between AI tools and Check Point's security infrastructure by exposing firewall policies, objects, and logs through a standardized Model Context Protocol interface. This allows large language models like Claude or GPT to query security environments using natural language, dramatically accelerating tasks such as policy analysis, compliance checks, and incident enrichment without requiring scripts or direct API calls. Deployed on-premises for full control and visibility, the MCP Server empowers security teams to automate workflows while maintaining strong governance and auditability.

An overview of Veriti, recently acquired by Check Point, which brings continuous threat exposure management into the security stack. Veriti provides real-time visibility across security tools, identifies misconfigurations and unmitigated threats, and recommends actionable steps to reduce attack surface risk without disrupting operations. This will cover how Veriti aligns with Check Point's prevention-first approach and how it can enhance an organization's overall security posture.

Check Point VSX is a legacy virtualization platform for running multiple firewall instances on shared hardware. VSNext replaces it with a modern, modular architecture designed for automation, performance, and scalability. Unlike VSX, which relies on manual provisioning and legacy routing models, VSNext uses API-driven configuration, supports dynamic routing, and simplifies management and troubleshooting. It offers better tenant isolation, faster policy installation, and improved integration with cloud and container environments. VSNext is not backward compatible but is clearly the future of Check Point's virtual security strategy.
