Check Point and Wiz partner to boost cloud security

Cybersecurity company Check Point Software Technologies has partnered with cloud security provider Wiz to help enterprises protect hybrid cloud environments.

The collaboration will involve the integration of Wiz’s Cloud Native Application Protection technologies with Check Point’s cloud network security expertise. The integrations will enable joint customers to automatically prevent attackers from infiltrating cloud networks. The provision of real‍-‍time network‍-‍driven insights will help security teams to more effectively prioritise risks.

Wiz’s risk analysis feeds will be integrated into Check Point’s platform, providing network security teams with actionable recommendations for optimising security coverage, and to prioritise protection of unsecured assets.

Wiz’s platform will also provide teams with tailored recommendations for improved operational efficiency across hybrid environments.

Check Point CEO Nadav Zafrir said the two companies share common aims.

“This partnership ... was formalised in order to create a new security paradigm combining Check Point’s cloud network security expertise with Wiz’s CNAPP leadership to deliver comprehensive protection across hybrid mesh environments,” he said. “Together, we are transforming how organisations manage risk, enabling teams to collaborate with greater efficiency and control.”
