Check Point Software Technologies Limited has entered into an agreement to acquire Lakera for agentic artificial intelligence (AI) applications. The value of the deal is estimated at $300 million. With this acquisition, Check Point sets a new standard in cyber security, becoming able to deliver a full end-to-end AI security stack designed to protect enterprises as they accelerate their AI journey.

Enterprises are rapidly embedding large language models (LLMs), generative AI (GenAI), 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, software as-a-service (SaaS) and application programming interface (API) security, advanced data loss prevention, and machine learning-powered defenses for applications, cloud, and endpoints. With Lakera, Check Point extends these capabilities to deliver one of the industry’s first end-to-end AI security stack. 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 – enabling them to innovate with confidence, at scale, and without compromise.

Commenting on the collaboration, Nadav Zafrir, chief executive officer (CEO), Check Point Software Technologies, said, “AI is transforming every business process, but it also introduces new attack surfaces. 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.”

Meanwhile, David Haber, co-founder and CEO, Lakera, said, “Lakera was purpose-built for the AI era, with real-time runtime security and research at its core,” 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.”
