Check Point Acquires Veriti
AI-fueled attacks and hyperconnected IT environments have made threat exposure one of the most urgent cybersecurity challenges facing enterprises today. In response, Check Point Software Technologies has announced a definitive agreement to acquire Veriti Cybersecurity, the first fully automated, multi-vendor pre-emptive threat exposure and mitigation platform.
'The acquisition of Veriti marks a significant step toward realizing our hybrid mesh security vision,' said Nadav Zafrir, CEO at Check Point Software Technologies. '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.'
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. Veriti continuously identifies, prioritizes, and remediates risk across your multi-vendor environment through automated patching and collaborative threat intelligence, all without disrupting business.
Founded in 2021, Veriti pioneered the Preemptive 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 Veriti brings to the Check Point Infinity Platform: 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.

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.

Safe, context-aware remediation: Veriti analyzes each customer's environment, including exposures, configurations, and existing protections, to apply the right controls safely, and without operational impact.
'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,' said Adi Ikan, CEO and co-founder of Veriti. '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.'
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.
The closing of the transaction is subject to the customary closing conditions and is expected to occur by the end of Q2 2025. 0 0

CrowdStrike Secures AI with NVIDIA LLM Integration
Home » Emerging technologies » Cyber Security » CrowdStrike Secures AI with NVIDIA LLM Integration CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) has announced the integration of Falcon® Cloud Security with NVIDIA's universal LLM NIM microservices and NeMo Safety. This collaboration delivers full lifecycle protection for artificial intelligence (AI) and over 100,000 large language models (LLMs). The company revealed that the integration expands CrowdStrike's protection for Enterprise AI Factories. With NVIDIA's support, customers can now securely run and scale various LLM applications across hybrid and multi-cloud environments from day one. According to CrowdStrike, the Falcon® platform now secures every stage of AI innovation, from build and runtime to posture management. Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer at CrowdStrike, stated that the company is defining how AI is secured across the software development lifecycle. He noted that this collaboration with NVIDIA brings CrowdStrike's cybersecurity leadership to cloud-based AI environments. Justin Boitano, Vice President of Enterprise AI Software at NVIDIA, added that security must match AI's growing scale and speed. He said NVIDIA and CrowdStrike are helping enterprises protect AI workloads from development to deployment. Enterprises can now rely on the NVIDIA Enterprise AI Factory combined with CrowdStrike security. This includes the tools to build, deploy, and run AI and LLM applications efficiently and securely. The NVIDIA LLM NIM microservice container was reported to simplify the shift from development to production. It packages open and specialized LLMs as microservices, enabling high-performance inference across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. This includes systems with AI sovereignty needs. CrowdStrike reported that as LLMs enter production, AI risks increase. These risks include data poisoning, tampering, and sensitive data leakage. The Falcon platform now integrates with NVIDIA NIM to deliver end-to-end protection. It monitors runtime behavior and provides AI-driven detection and response. These are trained on trillions of daily security events and frontline intelligence. In addition, CrowdStrike Falcon Cloud Security offers pre-deployment protection through several capabilities: AI-SPM and AI Model Scanning Shadow AI detection These tools identify risks before models are live and deliver threat intelligence. This intelligence integrates with NVIDIA's NeMo Safety workflows, enhancing the security of foundation models. Furthermore, services like CrowdStrike AI Red Team and Falcon® Adversary OverWatch are available to help secure every stage of AI development and deployment. Together, CrowdStrike and NVIDIA are enabling secure, scalable innovation from code to cloud.
