Check Point Software Technologies has announced the acquisition of Veriti Cybersecurity, marking a significant advancement in automated threat exposure management for enterprises facing increasingly sophisticated AI-driven cyber attacks.
The transaction, expected to close by the end of Q2 2025, represents Check Point’s first acquisition under CEO Nadav Zafrir’s leadership and is estimated to exceed $100 million in value.
In today’s hyperconnected digital landscape, traditional reactive security measures have proven inadequate against the speed and scale of modern cyber threats.

Veriti addresses this critical gap by introducing Preemptive Exposure Management (PEM), a groundbreaking approach that continuously identifies, prioritizes, and remediates risks across multi-vendor environments without disrupting business operations.
Founded in 2021 by former Check Point executives and Israeli military intelligence unit 8200 veterans Adi Ikan and Oren Koren, Veriti has raised $28.5 million from prominent investors including Insight Partners and NFX. The company emerged from stealth in 2023 with its innovative platform that integrates with over 70 security vendors.
Advanced Automation Capabilities
Veriti’s platform operates through two primary mechanisms that revolutionize threat response times. First, its automated cross-vendor virtual patching capability instantly applies risk-free protections across multiple third-party tools, dramatically reducing patching time from weeks to minutes.
Second, real-time threat intelligence enforcement automatically orchestrates protection across firewalls, endpoints, web application firewalls, and cloud platforms.
The platform’s API-based architecture eliminates the need for agent installation while maintaining seamless integration with existing security infrastructure. This approach enables context-aware remediation that analyzes each customer’s specific environment, including network topology, digital assets, and existing protections, before safely implementing controls.
The acquisition strengthens Check Point’s strategic partnership with cloud security company Wiz by enabling Veriti to ingest cloud exposure insights and automatically implement virtual patching through Check Point gateways. This synergy exemplifies how the platform leverages insights across multiple security vendors to create a unified defense mechanism.
“The acquisition of Veriti marks a significant step toward realizing our hybrid mesh security vision,” stated Nadav Zafrir, CEO of Check Point Software Technologies. “It strengthens the Infinity Platform’s open-garden approach, enabling seamless, multi-vendor remediation across the entire security stack”.
Following transaction closure, Veriti’s capabilities will be integrated into Check Point’s Infinity Platform as part of the Threat Exposure and Risk Management offering.
Adi Ikan, CEO and co-founder of Veriti, emphasized the platform’s mission: “We founded Veriti to help organizations not just see risk, but remediate it safely, at scale, and most importantly without disruption. By joining Check Point, we’re accelerating that mission”.
This acquisition positions Check Point at the forefront of preemptive cybersecurity, addressing the urgent need for automated threat exposure management in an era where AI-powered attacks continue to evolve rapidly.
