Check Point Acquires Lakera for End-to-End AI Security

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. has entered into an agreement to acquire Zurich- and San Francisco-based Lakera, which has developed AI-native security platforms for Agentic AI applications. With this acquisition, Check Point hopes to deliver a full end-to-end AI security stack designed to protect enterprises as they accelerate their AI journey.

“AI is transforming every business process, but it also introduces new attack surfaces,” said Nadav Zafrir, CEO at Check Point Software Technologies. “We chose Lakera because it brings AI-native security, superior precision, and speed at scale.”

Enterprises are rapidly embedding large language models, generative AI, and autonomous agents into core workflows. This accelerates innovation but also expands the attack surface, from data exposure and model manipulation to risks introduced by multi-agent collaboration and autonomous decision-making. As data becomes the new executable and the Internet of Agents takes shape, real-time AI-native security has become a business imperative.

Check Point already secures this transformation through GenAI Protect, SaaS and API security, advanced data loss prevention, and machine learning-powered defenses for applications, cloud, and endpoints. By combining Lakera’s runtime protection with the AI-powered Check Point Infinity architecture, enterprises can secure the full lifecycle of AI – models, agents and data.

The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. Upon closing, Lakera will form the foundation of Check Point’s Global Center of Excellence for AI Security, accelerating AI security research, innovation, and integration across the Check Point Infinity Platform.
