California-based Check Point Software Technologies announced it had agreed to acquire Lakera, one of the world’s largest AI-native security platforms for Agentic AI applications.
The acquisition will allow Check Point to deliver one of the industry’s most advanced AI-native security platforms, the company said, designed to protect the full lifecycle of AI and to protect enterprises as they accelerate their AI journey.
“AI is transforming every business process, but it also introduces new attack surfaces,” Nadav Zafrir, CEO at Check Point Software Technologies, said. “We chose Lakera because it brings AI-native security, superior precision, and speed at scale. Together we are setting the benchmark for how enterprises adopt and trust AI.”
As more companies embed Large Language Models, generative AI, and autonomous agents into their core workflows, Check Point will be able to secure transformative AI accelerations. Innovations also expand the attack surface, the companies said, from data exposure and model manipulation to risks from multi-agent collaboration and autonomous decision making.
By combining Lakera’s runtime protection with AI-powered Check Point Infinity architecture, enterprises can secure their AI and allow them to innovate with confidence, the companies said.
“Lakera was purpose-built for the AI era, with real-time runtime security and research at its core,” David Haber, co-founder and CEO at Lakera, said. “Joining Check Point allows us to accelerate and scale our mission globally. Together we will protect LLMs, generative AI, and agents with the speed, accuracy, and guardrails enterprises need to embrace AI with confidence.”
