Check Point cybersecurity service expansions

Overview

Check Point Software Technologies has introduced a Firewall-as-a-Subscription model designed to provide AI-powered network security without significant upfront hardware costs. This model utilizes the R82.20 platform to defend against threats from AI agents, bots, and chatbots through SandBlast technology and an agentic management console.

The subscription service aims to address financial constraints in cybersecurity departments, as research indicates many organizations are facing flat or declining budgets.

In addition to these service updates, Check Point has expanded its educational outreach through a partnership with Singapore’s Institute of Technical Education (ITE). Supported by a US$60,000 grant, the Check Point SecureAcademy curriculum will be integrated into ITE Colleges to train over 500 cybersecurity students annually using virtual labs and enterprise-grade tools.
