Check Point and Wiz Partner to Unify CNAPP and Cloud Security
▼ Summary
– Check Point and Wiz have launched a fully integrated cloud security solution combining Check Point’s prevention-first network security with Wiz’s CNAPP platform.
– The partnership enables enterprises to shift from remediation to prevention, stopping threats before they cause damage with AI-powered protection.
– Customers gain real-time visibility and risk-aware remediation, reducing false positives and accelerating response times for cloud security issues.
– The integration allows organizations to identify and resolve configuration risks at the gateway level and automate remediation flows from Wiz alerts to CloudGuard gateways.
– Check Point’s security efficacy is validated by independent testing showing perfect block rates with zero false positives and high prevention rates against malware and phishing.
Businesses navigating complex cloud environments now have access to a powerful new security solution, thanks to the expanded global rollout of the integrated platform from Check Point Software Technologies and Wiz. This collaboration unifies Check Point’s prevention-first cloud network security with Wiz’s Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP), delivering a comprehensive approach designed to tackle modern cloud security challenges with enhanced visibility, precision, and AI-driven prevention capabilities.
Paul Barbosa, Vice President of Cloud Security at Check Point, emphasized the strategic importance of this development. “This partnership truly embodies our open-garden philosophy, establishing a new standard for unified cloud security,” he stated. “By joining forces with Wiz, we are providing a prevention-first model that protects organizations from code to cloud, offering real-time visibility and risk-aware remediation without any compromise on security posture.”
As corporate networks grow increasingly interconnected and decentralized, the potential attack surface expands dramatically. This creates significant difficulties for organizations trying to secure their cloud infrastructure. The constant evolution of cloud environments places enormous pressure on chief information security officers and their teams as they work to manage risks and stay ahead of sophisticated threat actors. To meet these pressing needs, Wiz and Check Point have developed an integrated cloud-native solution that enables organizations to face cloud security challenges with greater assurance.
Oron Noah, Wiz’s Vice President of Product Extensibility and Partnerships, highlighted the practical benefits for users. “This new functionality provides customers with direct visibility into their CloudGuard gateway configurations right within the Wiz platform,” Noah explained. “When we integrate third-party virtual firewall policies into our risk assessment tools, we enable teams to quickly comprehend their exposure and implement corrective measures more rapidly.”
The combined Check Point and Wiz solution delivers substantial advantages by providing companies with real-time insights to comprehend cloud risks, minimize false positives, and resolve issues at the gateway level until complete patching occurs. The integrated platform helps customers accomplish several critical security objectives:
Organizations can shift from remediation to prevention, stopping potential threats before they inflict damage. The solution enhances visibility and accelerates response times, significantly reducing the time and resources needed for remediation efforts. It provides protection against unknown threats by defending against zero-day attacks through AI-powered threat prevention. Additionally, it reduces configuration risks by identifying and resolving issues at the gateway level to establish stronger defensive postures.
The partnership has been further strengthened by Wiz’s new parallel integration into Check Point Infinity Threat Exposure Management. This advancement allows companies to automate gateway-based remediation workflows, converting Wiz alerts into immediate actions on CloudGuard gateways. This automation dramatically reduces exposure times from what previously took hours down to mere minutes.
Check Point’s proven effectiveness across both network and cloud environments receives consistent validation from independent testing organizations. CyberRatings.org awarded Check Point a perfect 100% block rate with zero false positives in recent evaluations. The Check Point Infinity Platform also demonstrated exceptional performance with a 99.9% block rate against Zero+1 day malware and a 99.7% prevention rate for phishing attempts, according to Miercom’s 2025 benchmark report.
