Check Point to acquire Veriti, boosting threat management suite

Check Point Software Technologies has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Veriti Cybersecurity, expanding its offering in threat exposure and risk management.

The acquisition aims to strengthen Check Point's Infinity Platform with Veriti's automated, multi-vendor platform for pre-emptive threat exposure and mitigation. Veriti is recognised for introducing pre-emptive exposure management that delivers automated remediation of threat exposure risks across more than 70 security vendors, without disrupting ongoing operations.

Nadav Zafrir, Chief Executive Officer at Check Point Software Technologies, said, "The acquisition of Veriti marks a significant step toward realising 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."

The announcement addresses the growing challenge of AI-enabled cyber attacks and the complexities brought about by hyperconnected IT environments in modern enterprises.

As organisations distribute their assets across clouds, datacentres, and endpoints, the risk of cyber attacks grows due to an expanded attack surface. Traditional reactive security methods are considered inadequate to address these increased risks effectively.

Veriti's platform continuously identifies, prioritises, and remediates risk in multi-vendor security environments through automated patching and collaborative threat intelligence. The company, founded in 2021, has pioneered the Preemptive Exposure Management (PEM) category by actively discovering and mitigating risks that can be hidden in gaps between disparate security tools.

The technology continuously monitors logs, threat indicators, and vulnerabilities present in an organisation's environment, and then coordinates protections in real time. Its integrations cover more than 70 security vendors, enabling security teams to detect and prevent attacks promptly without business disruption.

Veriti's core capabilities to be integrated into the Check Point Infinity Platform include automated, cross-vendor virtual patching, which instantly applies non-disruptive protections based on vulnerabilities identified by security platforms such as CrowdStrike, Tenable, and Rapid7. This approach can reduce patching time from several weeks to a matter of minutes.

The platform also enables real-time threat intelligence enforcement by verifying threat indicators from any connected tool, and orchestrating automated protection across firewalls, endpoints, web application firewalls, and cloud platforms.

This coordination is designed to improve response times and effectiveness in multi-vendor security scenarios.

An additional aspect of Veriti's offering is its seamless integration with existing environments through an API-based architecture, which does not require software agents or cause operational disruptions. The platform is compatible with more than 70 security vendors and supports a wide ecosystem.

Veriti also extends its synergy with Wiz by ingesting Wiz's cloud exposure insights, such as information on unpatched servers or applications, and enables safe, automated virtual patching via Check Point or other vendors' network gateways.

The platform's context-aware remediation analyses an organisation's exposures, configurations, and existing protections to apply appropriate controls in a manner that does not impair operations.

Adi Ikan, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Veriti, said, "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."

He added, "We founded Veriti to help organisations 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 organisations reduce their exposure faster through the security tools they already trust."

Upon completion of the transaction, Veriti's capabilities will be incorporated into Check Point's Infinity Platform as part of its Threat Exposure and Risk Management suite. Combined with Check Point's recent External Risk Management solution, Veriti enhances the company's ability to address internal and external exposures across the complete enterprise attack surface.

The finalisation of the acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and is expected by the end of the second quarter of 2025.
