Check Point History

Check Point Milestones

Understanding our customers’ needs for business and cyber resilience are at the core of Check Point’s history of innovation. We provide leading-edge technologies to secure networks, enterprise multi-cloud environments, and endpoint, mobile, and IoT devices.

Here is a sample of the technologies that have helped create our comprehensive platform approach.

In 2006, Check Point raised the bar with the creation of a unified security architecture using a single management console, unified security gateways, and the first agent-based endpoint security. This was followed by Check Point’s software blade architecture, a dynamic and flexible architecture to meet the security needs of all organizations.

By 2009, the company acquired Nokia’s security appliance business and FaceTime Communications’ application database, adding security controls for over 50,000 Web 2.0 widgets and more than 4,500 internet applications to our security gateways.

In April 2017, the company introduced Check Point Infinity, the first consolidated threat prevention security platform across networks, cloud, endpoints, and mobile. With the acquisition of ForceNock, Check Point Infinity incorporated web application and API protection (WAAP) technology, which uses machine learning, behavioral, and reputation-based security engines.

In October 2018, Check Point acquired Dome9 to make cloud deployments safer and more manageable for organizations transitioning their IT infrastructures.

Today, Check Point is the only vendor to provide a fully consolidated cyber security architecture and platform powered by AI that provides unprecedented protection against mega-cyberattacks and zero-day cyber threats.

Check Point’s history with preventative solutions uniquely combines policy, people, and enforcement for greater protection of information assets and helps organizations implement a blueprint for security that aligns with business needs. Our foundation for success is our customer-driven philosophy, our continuous technological innovation, as well as our relentless focus to provide comprehensive, innovative security throughout the world.
