Check Point Software Technologies and Wiz Partner on Cloud Security

Check Point Software has announced a strategic partnership with cloud security provider, Wiz, to address the issue of securing hybrid cloud environments. This collaboration bridges the longstanding gap between cloud network security and Cloud Native Application Protection (CNAPP) through a technological integration and strategic business alliance.

“This partnership between the parties was formalized 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,” said Nadav Zafrir, Chief Executive Officer at Check Point. “Together, we are transforming how organizations manage risk, enabling teams to collaborate with greater efficiency and control.”

Among the anticipated benefits, customers and partners should expect unified security insights from the integration of Check Point’s cloud network security controls with Wiz’s CNAPP risk platform, enabling cloud security teams to automatically prevent attacks, and access real-time network-driven insights. In addition, Wiz’s risk analysis feeds will integrate directly into Check Point’s platform, providing network security teams with actionable recommendations to optimize security coverage and configurations.

Check Point expects to reallocate resources and make further investments across its Cloud Security business, including Cloud Network Security, Web Application Firewall (WAF), GenAI and other key Cloud technologies.

“Bringing together Wiz’s leading CNAPP technology and Check Point’s expertise in cloud network security enhances visibility and prioritizes risks more effectively,” said Assaf Rappaport, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer at Wiz. “Our partnership is aimed to ensure that companies can seamlessly protect their network and cloud environments with an integrated, industry-leading solution while continuing to democratize cloud security.”
