Check Point Acquiring Cyberint Technologies to Beef Up Infinity Platform

Check Point Software Technologies is acquiring Cyberint Technologies to fortify its security operations center (SOC) capabilities and managed threat intelligence offerings.

Also based in Israel, Cyberint Technologies provides external risk management solutions. It focuses on threat intelligence, digital risk protection and attack surface management. Its clientele includes Fortune 500 companies.

Check Point will integrate Cyberint Technologies' capabilities into its Infinity platform collaborative threat prevention. It will also be available as a managed service through Infinity platform services.

The acquisition should close by the end of 2024. Check Point isn’t saying how much it's paying for Cyberint.

“The acquisition is expected to strengthen our prevention-first approach, with greater actionable intelligence for customers to manage external risks more effectively,” he said. “This will lead to opportunities in new buying centers across new prospects and existing customers."

“By adding external risk management and threat intelligence, partners can get on a faster path to profitability,” he said.

We are thrilled to join the Check Point team. Integrating our solutions into the Infinity platform will enhance our ability to protect organizations. Together, we will offer a more comprehensive ...
