Check Point & Illumio: Zero trust security partnership

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., a pioneer in cybersecurity solutions, and Illumio, the breach containment company, announced a strategic partnership to help organisations strengthen security and advance their Zero Trust posture.

Illumio Segmentation and Insights

The integration between the Check Point Infinity Platform and the Illumio Platform delivers rapid identification and mitigation of lateral movement risks across hybrid and multi-cloud environments using advanced microsegmentation enforcement.

This collaboration empowers customers to combine Check Point Quantum Force Firewalls, Infinity Threat Cloud AI, and AI-Powered Security Management with Illumio Segmentation and Illumio Insights to neutralise threats by halting lateral movements and strengthening overall cybersecurity.  

Zero Trust strategies

"Stopping lateral movement is critical to breach prevention," says Itai Greenberg, Chief Revenue Officer at Check Point Software.

"Our partnership with Illumio delivers unmatched visibility and adaptive policy enforcement, empowering organisations to contain threats fast. It also demonstrates the strength of our hybrid mesh architecture, which we envision as an open garden, and our commitment to driving Zero Trust strategies with industry pioneers."

Check Point’s AI Security Management software

Check Point Quantum Force firewalls serve as critical enforcement points, efficiently blocking malicious traffic

Check Point Quantum Force firewalls serve as critical enforcement points, efficiently blocking malicious traffic. When threats are detected, Check Point’s AI Security Management software uses a dynamic policy layer to notify Check Point Firewalls how to block the latest threat.

The integration with Illumio provides additional AI-driven insights to identify risks and attack routes, enabling quick containment. This combination stops unauthorised lateral movement, protects essential assets, and ensures consistent Zero Trust security across hybrid environments. 

Key benefits of the integration 

• Collaborative approach to Zero Trust: Protect critical assets with effective microsegmentation across hybrid environments without deployment complexity, making Zero Trust adoption faster and simpler. 

• Proactive threat prevention to prevent lateral movement: Reduce breach risk and the associated costs by catching attacks earlier and preventing them from spreading laterally across networks, clouds, and resources to reach critical assets 

• Advanced Threat Intelligence: Utilize combined threat intelligence data from ThreatCloud AI and Illumio Insights to mitigate risk and minimise security incidents
