Check Point Introduces AI-Driven Exposure Management to Close the Cyber Security Remediation Gap

Check Point Introduces AI-Driven Exposure Management to Close the Cyber Security Remediation GapDesigned for AI-era attacks, Exposure Management helps organisations reduce risk faster using existing security controls. Africa to benefit.

Johannesburg, SA. January 21, 2026 -- Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a pioneer and global leader in cyber security solutions, today announced Check Point Exposure Management, a new approach designed to help organisations defend against AI-era attacks by turning fragmented exposure data into prioritised, actionable, and safe remediation.

Powered by Cyberint, Veriti, and Check Point’s global threat visibility, Exposure Management delivers real-time situational awareness by unifying threat intelligence, dark-web insights, attack surface visibility, exploitability context, and automated remediation, at a time when attackers increasingly use automation and AI to move faster than traditional security operations can respond.

African organisations in particular stand to benefit. According to Check Point's African Perspectives on Cyber Security Report 2025 African organisations face an average of 3,153 weekly attacks, 60 % higher than the global baseline of 1,963 attacks per organisation per week.

These risks are aggravated by the continent-wide dearth of cyber security skills and resources, misconfigurations, and generally poor cyber hygiene, which leave many organisations vulnerable and unable to effectively defend against threats.

"Check Point’s Exposure Management Platform enables organisations across Africa to adopt a more proactive security stance by providing security teams with a holistic view of the organisation’s entire attack surface and the associated risks," says Hendrik de Bruin, Check Point's Head of Security Consulting SADC.

The platform helps detect both new and existing vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, phishing sites targeting employees or customers, and even sensitive or stolen information circulating on the dark web.

“Security teams globally are flooded with intelligence but still struggle to turn insight into action and reduce risk using their existing security investments,” said Yochai Corem, Vice President of Exposure Management at Check Point Software Technologies.

“Exposure Management closes that gap by combining real-world threat intelligence with safe, automated remediation, helping organisations reduce risk faster while preparing for AI-driven attacks.”

As attackers scale and automate, remediation across many organisations remains slow and manual. Disconnected tools, siloed teams, and reliance on static severity scores continue to leave critical exposures unaddressed, widening the cyber security remediation gap and increasing the likelihood of successful exploitation.

This approach aligns with Gartner’s Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework, which emphasises continuous correlation of real-world attacker behavior with enterprise assets. By connecting intelligence, exposure context, and remediation, Check Point enables organisations to prioritise and close the exposures that pose the greatest risk before attackers can act.

Designed to operate across existing environments, Check Point Exposure Management integrates with more than 75 security controls across approximately 90 percent of the largest security vendors, spanning network, endpoint, cloud, email, identity, and operating system layers. This breadth of integration reflects Check Point’s Open Garden approach, enabling organizations to reduce risk using the tools they already rely on while minimizing operational complexity.

Together, these capabilities enable organisations to move from visibility to validated action across their entire attack surface.

Check Point Exposure Management is built on three tightly integrated layers: 

Threat Intelligence: Check Point leverages unmatched global visibility to map the attacker ecosystem, tracking active campaigns, exploited vulnerabilities, malicious infrastructure, and high-risk indicators based on real-world attacks observed across the industry’s broadest set of sources.Vulnerability Prioritisation: The platform automatically discovers the organisation’s attack surface using built-in scanners and integrates with industry-standard tools to prioritise exposures based on real-world exploitability, business context, and existing security controls, including continuous assessment of security effectiveness.Safe Remediation: Check Point Exposure Management goes beyond prioritisation by safely reconfiguring existing security controls through APIs. Validated actions such as virtual patching, IPS activation, and indicator enforcement enable consistent remediation at scale with minimal operational friction.

“Exposure management has become essential as organisations struggle to operationalize vulnerability data,” said Michelle Abraham, Senior Research Director, Security and Trust, IDC. “Check Point’s approach stands out by combining deep intelligence, brand protection, and safe, automated mitigations to move from insight to action faster.”

With its intelligence-driven, action-oriented approach, Check Point Exposure Management helps organisations stay ahead of AI-era attackers by continuously reducing exposure before it can be exploited.
