Redwood City, CA โ February 11, 2025 โ Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a pioneer and global leader of cyber security solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with leading cloud security provider Wiz to address the growing challenges enterprises face securing hybrid cloud environments. This collaboration bridges the longstanding gap between cloud network security and Cloud Native Application Protection (CNAPP) through a deep technological integration and strategic business alliance, delivering an industry-leading unified, holistic security solution.
“This partnership between the parties was formalised in order to create a new security paradigmโcombining Check Pointโs cloud network security expertise with Wizโs CNAPP leadership to deliver comprehensive protection across hybrid mesh environments,” said Nadav Zafrir, Chief Executive Officer at Check Point. “Together, we are transforming how organisations manage risk, enabling teams to collaborate with greater efficiency and control.”
Todayโs enterprises operate in complex environments where network and cloud security often function in silos, creating critical visibility and control gaps. Cloud network security teams lack context about cloud-specific risks, while cloud security teams struggle to understand how cloud network security controls protect assets. This fragmentation leads to inefficiencies, misconfigurations, and increased cyber risks.
“Bringing together Wizโs leading CNAPP technology and Check Pointโs expertise in cloud network security enhances visibility and prioritises risks more effectively,” said Assaf Rappaport, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Wiz. “Our partnership is aimed to ensure that companies can seamlessly protect their network and cloud environments with an integrated, industry-leading solution while continuing to democratize cloud security.”
The partnership between Check Point and Wiz addresses these issues head-on offering customers:
- Unified Security Insights: Check Pointโs cloud network security controls integrated within Wizโs CNAPP risk platform, enabling cloud security teams to automatically prevent attacks access real-time network-driven insights for smarter risk prioritisation
- Enhanced Risk Context: Wizโs advanced risk analysis feeds integrate directly into Check Pointโs platform, providing network security teams with actionable recommendations to optimise security coverage and configurations
- Prioritisation of Unsecured Assets: Cloud security teams are empowered to identify and address unsecured assets more effectively, leveraging network security data to guide decision-making
- Optimised Security Operations: Network security teams benefit from tailored recommendations generated by Wizโs platform, enhancing operational efficiency across hybrid environments
The mutually beneficial partnership includes joint integration and the assisted migration of Check Pointโs CNAPP customers to Wiz. Check Point expects to reallocate resources and make further investments across its cloud security business, including cloud network security, web application firewall (WAF), generative AI (GenAI), and other key cloud technologies.
This collaboration underscores both companiesโ long-term commitment to driving security innovation and addressing the most pressing cloud security challenges faced by modern enterprises.
