Check Point Software Technologies has completed its acquisition of Lakera, the Zurich-based artificial intelligence (AI)-native security pioneer. By combining Check Point’s prevention-first cybersecurity architecture with Lakera’s AI-native security and adversarial testing expertise, the company is launching the world’s first end-to-end AI Security Platform, protecting the full AI lifecycle, from data infrastructure to model runtime and intelligent agent behaviour.
This acquisition establishes the foundation for a new category: AI transformation security, where prevention-first defense meets AI-native guardrails, red-teaming intelligence, and model-centric threat detection.
As per the company, data has become the world’s most valuable resource, and generative AI (GenAI) the most transformative technology of our time. GenAI adoption is outpacing every prior technological revolution, embedding intelligent AI agents across enterprises to make trillions of autonomous decisions daily. These agents will accelerate business productivity exponentially, but they also redefine security risk. Today, humans are the weakest link in cybersecurity; tomorrow, autonomous AI agents will be. To perform effectively, these agents will access massive corporate datasets, execute actions, and collaborate with other systems. Without proper guardrails, they become targets for manipulation, misinformation, and loss of control. Existing cybersecurity solutions were not designed to secure this new Internet of Agents. The Check Point–Lakera platform changes that by embedding prevention, monitoring, and AI-native detection directly into the enterprise fabric, ensuring AI remains an accelerator, not an exposure.
