Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a pioneer and global leader in cybersecurity solutions, today introduced the Check Point AI Defense Plane, a unified AI security control plane designed to help organizations govern how AI is connected, deployed, and operated across the enterprise. As AI systems evolve from assistants to autonomous agents that access data, call tools, and take actions, the AI Defense Plane provides the intelligence layer required to secure the era of agents.
“Organizations are entering the era of agents. AI is no longer limited to generating content—it is beginning to access systems, use tools, chain actions, and operate with growing autonomy. That changes the security model,” said David Haber, VP of AI Security at Check Point Software Technologies. “The challenge is no longer just what AI says, but what AI can do. Organizations need more than model protection—they need runtime controls that govern AI behavior in real environments. The AI Defense Plane delivers that control for employees, applications, and AI agents.”
As companies move AI systems into production, the attack surface expands beyond prompts and models to include agent workflows, delegated actions, non-human access, and shadow agents operating within real business environments.
Built on the Check Point AI Security Platform and enhanced by technologies from ThreatCloud AI and the company’s recent acquisitions of Lakera and Cyata, the AI Defense Plane combines discovery, governance, observability, runtime control, and continuous validation across the AI execution lifecycle.
At the core of the AI Defense Plane is Check Point’s AI-driven security engine—a real-time decision engine informed by analysis of millions of AI interactions, adversarial testing, and live threat data. This creates a security feedback loop that strengthens as AI systems evolve. The platform delivers adaptive protections in under 50 milliseconds across more than 100 languages, enabling preventative measures to operate at machine speed as attacks become increasingly automated.
Where many approaches emphasize model protection, Check Point focuses on how AI actually behaves in production. The AI Defense Plane is designed to maintain control where enterprise AI risks become tangible: at runtime, in live environments, and across the workflows that connect AI to business operations.
The AI Defense Plane includes three primary modules:
- AI Security for Employees: Provides visibility, governance, and runtime protection for how employees use AI-powered applications. This module enforces policies in real time, reduces the risk of sensitive data exposure, and enables secure productivity across approved and unapproved AI tools.
- AI Application and Agent Security: Offers discovery, posture management, and runtime control for AI applications and agent systems embedded across the enterprise. Organizations can identify where AI is present, understand which data and tools it can reach, evaluate agent behavior, and manage the permissions and trust relationships that govern agent execution.
- AI Red Teaming: Enables continuous adversarial testing of prompts, reasoning paths, workflows, tool usage, and agent behavior. This capability helps organizations detect exploitation risks early and strengthen resilience as AI moves from prototype to production.
“Red teaming has become essential for agent systems,” said George Davis, a product leader at Sierra. “When AI can request infrastructure, trigger workflows, and interact with sensitive data, the risk is no longer theoretical. Organizations need continuous testing to understand how these systems can be manipulated, where controls break down, and how resilient they are in production.”
