Check Point Makes A Bold Bet with Veriti: Can Preemptive Security Reinvent Cyber Risk Management?

In a strategic move that signals a shift toward automated, prevention-first cybersecurity, Check Point Software Technologies has announced its acquisition of Veriti Cybersecurity, a pioneering Israeli startup specializing in preemptive threat exposure management. The transaction, valued at over $100 million, is expected to close by the end of Q2 2025 and marks the first major acquisition under new CEO Nadav Zafrir. The deal comes at a time when Check Point is pushing hard on its hybrid mesh architecture vision and doubling down on its Infinity Platform to unify security across endpoints, cloud, and networks. Veriti, founded by veterans of Israeli military intelligence and former Check Point executives, offers an API-based platform that integrates with over 70 security vendors, enabling organizations to automatically remediate threat exposures in real time. As AI driven attacks increase in speed and sophistication, Check Point’s acquisition of Veriti could help reposition it as a leader in automated threat exposure management.
