Nadav Zafrir, CEO, Check Point Software Technologies
In a new development, Check Point Software Technologies, the leading provider of cyber security solutions the world over, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire an Israeli startup Veriti Cybersecurity, a provider of fully automated, multi-vendor preemptive threat exposure and mitigation platform.
This definitive acquisition is in response to the growing instances of AI-fueled cyberattacks taking place in hyperconnected IT environments, which make threat exposure one of the most urgent cybersecurity challenges facing enterprises today.
This is true that AI has brought cyber security to a tipping point, enabling the launch of attacks at scale. At the same time, enterprises are hyperconnected, with assets spread across clouds, datacenters, and endpoints, vastly expanding their attack surface. Traditional reactive security is too slow.
Nadav Zafrir, CEO, Check Point Software Technologies, says, “The acquisition of Veriti marks a significant step toward realizing our hybrid mesh security vision.” “It strengthens the Infinity Platform’s open-garden approach, enabling seamless, multi-vendor remediation across the entire security stack. With Veriti, we’re advancing preemptive, prevention-first security – an imperative in today’s AI-driven threat landscape,” elaborates Zafrir.
Adi Ikan, CEO & co-founder, Veriti, comments, “Security teams today suffer from a lack of action: exposures aren’t just detected, they’re compounding, hiding in the gaps between tools, teams, and timelines.” “We founded Veriti to help organizations not just see risk, but remediate it safely, at scale, and most importantly – without disruption. By joining Check Point, we’re accelerating that mission. Together, we’ll help organizations reduce their exposure faster through the security tools they already trust,” adds Ikan.
Veriti continuously identifies, prioritizes, and remediates risk across your multi-vendor environment through automated patching and collaborative threat intelligence, all without disrupting business.
Following the closure of the transaction, Veriti’s capabilities will be integrated into the Check Point Infinity Platform as part of the threat exposure and risk management offering. Combined with the recently added external risk management (ERM) solution, Veriti enhances Check Point’s ability to deliver complete risk lifecycle coverage—proactively managing both internal and external exposures across the entire attack surface.
Founded in 2021, Veriti pioneered the pre-emptive exposure management (PEM) category –actively discovering and mitigating risks across siloed tools. Veriti continuously monitors logs, threat indicators, and vulnerabilities identified across the environment and propagates protections in real time. With integrations into over 70 vendors, it empowers security teams to detect, understand, and prevent attacks without delay.
Core capabilities of Veriti
Automated, cross-vendor virtual patching: Veriti instantly applies risk-free, non-disruptive protections across dozens of third-party tools, based on vulnerabilities identified by platforms like CrowdStrike, Tenable, and Rapid7, dramatically reducing patching time from weeks to minutes.
Real-time threat intelligence enforcement: Veriti verifies threat indicators from any connected tool and automatically orchestrates protection across firewalls, endpoints, WAFs, and cloud platform, enabling fast, coordinated, multi-vendor threat response.
Seamless integration with 70-plus security vendors: Built with a fully API-based architecture, Veriti integrates into existing environments without agents or disruption, supporting the broadest security ecosystem in the market.
Stronger synergy with Wiz: Veriti ingests Wiz’s cloud exposure insights, such as vulnerable, unpatched cloud servers or applications, and enables automatic, safe virtual patching of those assets through Check Point gateways (and other vendors’ as well), enhancing Check Point’s ability to execute on its strategic partnership with Wiz.
