Check Point Software Technologies has announced three strategic acquisitions, namely Cyata, Cyclops and Rotate, aimed at strengthening its platform across artificial intelligence (AI) agent security, exposure management and MSP-driven workspace protection.
In addition, the business introduced its four-pillar strategy designed to help organisations securely navigate the AI era.
“As artificial intelligence rapidly transforms enterprise operations, from employee productivity tools to autonomous systems, it is also reshaping the cyber threat landscape,” says Lorna Hardie, regional director: Africa at Check Point Software Technologies.
“To address this, Check Point is advancing a unified, prevention-first platform built to secure the full scope of modern enterprise environments,” she adds.
At the core of this strategy are four pillars that reflect how organisations operate today.
Hybrid Mesh Network Security protects distributed enterprises across hybrid cloud, data centres, branch networks, and internet environments through a unified, AI-powered architecture.
Workspace Security focuses on securing the modern digital workspace — including endpoints, browsers, email, SaaS applications, and collaboration platforms — where users increasingly interact with AI technologies.
Exposure Management provides comprehensive visibility into organizational attack surfaces, enabling risk prioritization based on business context rather than isolated alerts.
AI Security protects the full lifecycle of AI adoption, including employee usage, enterprise AI applications, and autonomous AI agents.
These capabilities are delivered through Check Point’s open platform approach, often described as an “open garden” model, designed to integrate seamlessly with existing security ecosystems while providing prevention-first protection across multi-vendor environments.
“In 2026, our strategy is centered on securing our customers’ AI transformation across the enterprise. We are focused on executing against our four strategic pillars, Hybrid Mesh, Workspace, and Exposure Management, while embedding AI-driven security throughout our portfolio,” says Check Point CEO Nadav Zafrir.
The acquisitions of Cyata, Cyclops, and Rotate reinforce this strategy.
Cyata, founded in 2024 by Shahar Tal, Baruch Weitzman, and Dror Roth, has developed an AI agent identity management platform that enables organizations to discover active AI agents, map permissions, monitor behaviour, and enforce automated security policies. The acquisition of Cyata accelerates Check Point’s mission to deliver End‑to‑End AI Security platform for the agentic world, while delivering agent discovery across endpoint and SaaS and providing context, configuration and risk.
Cyclops, founded in 2021 by Eran Zilberman, Elly Guetta, and Biran Franko, provides a Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management platform that consolidates data across environments to deliver comprehensive asset visibility and risk prioritization. The acquisition of Cyclops expands our Exposure Management Offering to deliver a complete CTEM Solution to the market. In addition, Cyber Asset Attack Surface Management (CAASM) provides discovery and continuous monitoring of every asset across cloud, on-premises, OT and SaaS environments.
“The Cyata acquisition further expands our AI security stack, enabling full discovery, governance, and control of AI agents as organizations accelerate their AI journeys,” says Zafrir.
Rotate, an all-in-one platform purpose-built for managed service providers, enhances centralized protection across distributed workforces and SaaS environments. Check Point acquired the talent of Rotate to further accelerate the strong Workspace momentum in the MSP market.
Roi Karo, chief strategy officer at Check Point, says: “As AI reshapes how organizations operate and how threats evolve, security must be fundamentally rethought. Our four-pillar strategy provides a clear framework to secure networks, workspaces, exposure risks, and AI-driven environments as a unified platform.
“The acquisitions we are announcing today demonstrate how we are executing on this vision and helping customers securely navigate the AI transformation.”
