Key Information

History

[edit]

Check Point was established in Ramat Gan, Israel in 1993, by Gil Shwed (CEO as of 2016), Marius Nacht (Chairman as of 2016) and Shlomo Kramer (who left Check Point in 2003).[6] Shwed had the initial idea for the company's core technology known as stateful inspection, which became the foundation for the company's first product, FireWall-1; soon afterwards they also developed one of the world's first VPN products, VPN-1.[7] Shwed developed the idea while serving in the Unit 8200 of the Israel Defense Forces, where he worked on securing classified networks.[8][9]

Initial funding of US$250,000 was provided by venture capital fund BRM Group.[10]

In 1994 Check Point signed an OEM agreement with Sun Microsystems,[7] followed by a distribution agreement with HP in 1995.[11] The same year, the U.S. head office was established in Redwood City, California.

By February 1996, the company was named worldwide firewall market leader by IDC, with a market share of 40 percent.[12] In June 1996 Check Point raised $67 million from its initial public offering on NASDAQ.[13]

In 1998, Check Point established a partnership with Nokia, which bundled Check Point's Software with Nokia's computer Network Security Appliances.[13]

In 2003, a class-action lawsuit was filed against Check Point over violation of the Securities Exchange Act by failing to disclose major financial information.[14]

On August 14, 2003, Check Point opened its branch in India's capital, Delhi (with the legal name Check Point Software Technologies India Pvt. Ltd.). Eyal Desheh was the first director appointed in India.

During the first decade of the 21st century Check Point started acquiring other IT security companies, including Nokia's network security business unit in 2009.[15]

In 2018, the company discovered malware, which it named "AdultSwine", that was found programmed into around 60 apps on the Google Play Store, primarily those aimed at children. The bug would display pornographic ads that, when clicked on, would instruct victims to download more malicious software in an attempt to steal personal data.[16][17] It's estimated that between 3 and 7 million users may have been infected.[18]

In 2019, researchers at Check Point found a security breach in Xiaomi phone apps.[19] The security flaw was reported preinstalled.[20]

Over the years many employees who worked at Check Point have left to start their own software companies. These include Shlomo Kramer, who started Imperva; Nir Zuk, who founded Palo Alto Networks; Ruvi Kitov and Reuven Harrison of Tufin; Yonadav Leitersdorf, who founded Indeni; and Avi Shua, who founded Orca Security.

In December 2024, Gil Shwed moved to become Executive Chairman of the Board of Check Point. Nadav Zafrir joined Check Point as the new Chief Executive Officer.[21]

SofaWare Technologies was founded in 1999, as a cooperation between Check Point and SofaWare's founders, Adi Ruppin and Etay Bogner, with the purpose of extending Check Point from the enterprise market to the small business, consumer and branch office market. SofaWare's co-founder Adi Ruppin said that his company wanted to make the technology simple to use and affordable, and to lift the burden of security management from end users while adding some features.[45] In 2001 SofaWare began selling firewall appliances under the SofaWare S-Box brand;[46] in 2002 the company started selling the Safe@Office and Safe@Home line of security appliances, under the Check Point brand.[45] By the fourth quarter of 2002 sales of SofaWare's Safe@Office firewall/VPN appliances had increased greatly, and SofaWare held the #1 revenue position in the worldwide firewall/VPN sub-$490 appliance market, with a 38% revenue market share.[47]

Relations between Check Point and the SofaWare founders went sour after the company acquisition in 2002. In 2004 Etay Bogner, co-founder of SofaWare, sought court approval to file a shareholder derivative suit, claiming Check Point was not transferring funds to SofaWare as required for its use of SofaWare's products and technology. His derivative suit was ultimately successful, and Check Point was ordered to pay SofaWare 13 million shekels for breach of contract. In 2006 the Tel Aviv District Court Judge ruled that Bogner SofaWare could sue Check Point by proxy for $5.1 million in alleged damage to SofaWare.[48] Bogner claimed that Check Point, which owned 60% of Sofaware, had behaved belligerently, and withheld money due for use of SofaWare technology and products[48] Check Point appealed the ruling, but lost.[49]

In 2009 the Israeli Supreme Court ruled that a group of founders of SofaWare, which includes Bogner, had veto power over any decision of SofaWare. The court ruled that the three founders could exercise their veto power only as a group and by majority rule.

In 2011 Check Point settled all litigation relating to SofaWare. As part of the settlement it acquired the SofaWare shares held by Bogner and Ruppin, and began a process of acquiring the remaining shares, resulting in SofaWare becoming a wholly owned subsidiary.[50]

The company's AI Security Report, released in April 2025, highlights AI-driven cyber threats, including AI-assisted detection evasion and generative AI for , drawing from empirical observations of attack patterns to recommend defensive strategies. Specific intelligence reports address targeted campaigns, such as the October 2025 disclosure of a large-scale malware distribution network involving stealthy operations across multiple regions. These outputs prioritize actionable data over narrative framing, leveraging Check Point's proprietary rather than unverified third-party claims. Central to these outputs is the ThreatCloud service, a collaborative platform aggregating data from thousands of sensors worldwide to deliver real-time feeds, including indicators of compromise (IOCs) and behavioral signatures updated dynamically. Infinity ThreatCloud AI extends this by integrating over 50 AI technologies for novel detection, feeding prevention engines with insights from on evasion tactics. Outputs are disseminated via customer portals, APIs, and public research portals, enabling organizations to prioritize feeds through customizable collections that filter and aggregate IOCs for integration into security operations. Check Point Research also publishes ad-hoc alerts on high-impact threats, such as September 2025 identifications of LockBit ransomware variants affecting multiple victims, supported by forensic analysis of attack artifacts. This output model emphasizes empirical validation through sensor-derived evidence, contrasting with less rigorous industry reports that may amplify unconfirmed incidents for visibility. While Check Point's data reflects its product ecosystem, cross-verification with independent scans underscores the reliability of shared IOCs in disrupting campaigns.

Business Strategy

Strategic Acquisitions

Check Point has executed a series of strategic acquisitions to bolster its cybersecurity portfolio, focusing on areas such as cloud security, email and SaaS protection, (SASE), threat intelligence, and AI-driven defenses. These moves aim to integrate innovative technologies into its architecture, addressing evolving threats like vulnerabilities, cloud migrations, and generative AI risks. By acquiring specialized firms, often Israeli startups, Check Point has expanded beyond traditional firewalls into unified platforms for hybrid environments. In 2009, Check Point acquired Nokia's security appliance business, enhancing its hardware capabilities for gateways, and FaceTime Communications' application database, which added controls for over 4,500 internet applications and 50,000 widgets. These early deals strengthened application-layer visibility and prevention. In October 2018, the company purchased Dome9 for cloud security, enabling safer management of cloud deployments during transitions. Subsequent acquisitions targeted and SaaS threats. In August 2021, Check Point acquired Avanan, a email security firm specializing in API-based scanning for Office 365 and other platforms, reported at around $300 million; this integrated post-delivery protection against and into Check Point's offerings. In February 2022, it bought Spectral Cyber Technologies, focusing on developer-centric secrets detection to secure code from insider leaks. April 2017's acquisition of ForceNock added and protection using and behavioral . To address SASE and zero-trust needs, Check Point announced the $490 million acquisition of in August 2023, completing it in September, which provided secure network access for remote users, sites, and clouds, accelerating unified SASE deployment. In August 2024, it acquired Cyberint Technologies for enhanced threat intelligence and external management, integrating automated SOC capabilities.

Controversies and Challenges

In 1997, Checkpoint Systems, Inc., a provider of physical and loss prevention solutions, demanded that Check Point Software Technologies, Inc. cease using its name, alleging potential consumer in the broader "" industry. Following Check Point's refusal, Checkpoint Systems filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of in 1999, claiming under Section 32 of the (15 U.S.C. § 1114) and unfair competition under Section 43(a) (15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)). The plaintiff argued that both companies operated in security-related fields, with similar marks likely to cause among potential customers. After a non-jury trial in 2000, the district court ruled in favor of Check Point Software, finding no likelihood of confusion despite phonetic similarity in the marks. The court applied the multi-factor test from Interpace Corp. v. Lapp, Inc., weighing the weakness of Checkpoint Systems' mark (descriptive and commonly used in security contexts), stark differences in products (physical RFID tags versus network cybersecurity software), distinct sales channels (retail merchandise protection versus enterprise IT procurement), and lack of compelling evidence of actual confusion, such as isolated employee testimonies deemed biased. Sophisticated buyers in Check Point's market further reduced confusion risk. Checkpoint Systems appealed, but the Third Circuit affirmed the decision on October 5, 2001, upholding that the district court properly balanced factors without requiring point-of-sale confusion evidence and rejecting claims of "initial interest" confusion as insufficiently supported. Check Point Software retained its name and continued operations without modification. Beyond trademarks, Check Point Software has defended against numerous suits, often from non-practicing entities asserting broad claims on networking or technologies. Notable cases include Finjan Holdings, Inc. v. Check Point Software Technologies, Inc. (N.D. Cal., filed 2018), which alleged infringement of behavioral analysis patents and settled confidentially in May 2020 with dismissal with prejudice. In Winterspring Digital LLC v. Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (W.D. Tex., filed May 2023), the claimed infringement of a related to methods used in Check Point's products, with the case ongoing as of 2024. Similarly, Taasera Licensing LLC filed suit in 2022 (E.D. Tex.) over patents on network threat detection, reflecting patterns of litigation common to cybersecurity firms where defendants frequently prevail or settle to avoid protracted costs. These disputes highlight Check Point's exposure to assertions, though outcomes typically favor non-infringement findings or low-value resolutions due to claim invalidity challenges under Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank.

Regulatory Scrutiny and Breach Allegations

In December 2020, Check Point Software Technologies detected unauthorized access to its systems linked to the Orion compromise attributed to Russian state-sponsored actors. The company's internal investigation identified activity between July and December 2020 but found no evidence of access to , , or other sensitive information. Despite this knowledge, Check Point's subsequent SEC filings, including 2021 and 2022 Forms 20-F, retained generic cybersecurity risk disclosures without specifying the intrusion's details, which the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) later deemed materially misleading. On October 22, 2024, the SEC charged Check Point with violating antifraud and disclosure provisions under the and Exchange Act of 1934, resulting in a $995,000 settlement without admitting or denying the findings. Check Point cooperated fully with the inquiry, which stemmed from broader scrutiny of disclosures following the incident affecting multiple firms. This action aligned with the SEC's heightened enforcement on cybersecurity reporting, emphasizing specific rather than boilerplate risk descriptions to avoid misleading investors. In March 2025, "CoreInjection" claimed on BreachForum to have breached Check Point, offering alleged internal —including network access credentials and configuration files—for five bitcoins (approximately $410,000 at the time). Check Point acknowledged a related security incident on March 31, 2025, but described it as an "old, known, and pinpointed event" with limited scope, no of customer environments, and no exfiltration of production or . The company stated it had remediated the issue prior to the claims and found no evidence supporting the hacker's assertions of ongoing access or significant theft, attributing the post to attempted . As of October 2025, no regulatory investigations or confirmed breaches from this allegation have been publicly reported.

Geopolitical and Competitive Criticisms

Check Point Software Technologies, an Israel-based cybersecurity firm, has faced geopolitical criticisms primarily stemming from its close historical ties to the Israeli military and intelligence community. Several key executives and founders, including CEO Gil Shwed, emerged from elite Israeli Defense Forces units such as Unit 8200, which specializes in signals intelligence and cyber operations. This connection has led to accusations that the company's technologies derive from military-developed tools repurposed for commercial use, intertwining its operations with Israeli state security interests. Critics, including activist organizations, argue this facilitates the export of surveillance and offensive cyber capabilities originally honed in conflict zones, though Check Point maintains its products are defensive and compliant with international export regulations. The (BDS) movement has targeted Check Point since at least 2019, citing its Israeli origins and perceived complicity in policies toward as grounds for and boycotts. In its 2018 , the company acknowledged BDS as a , noting instances of increased scrutiny and calls for exclusion from tenders in regions hostile to . BDS-aligned groups, such as the , highlight Check Point's military linkages and global client base—including governments—as enabling Israeli objectives through cyber infrastructure. These campaigns have gained traction in activist circles and some academic settings, though their impact on Check Point's revenue remains limited, with the firm reporting sustained growth in international markets. Sources promoting BDS views often reflect ideological opposition to , potentially exaggerating corporate-military ties without of direct policy influence. Geopolitical tensions have manifested in specific regional backlash, such as in following the October 2023 Hamas- conflict. Turkish media and political figures portrayed Check Point as a symbol of Israeli aggression, leading to public calls for boycotts and scrutiny of its operations amid broader anti-Western sentiment under the Erdogan government. This episode underscores how -linked firms like Check Point become proxies in proxy conflicts, with local media amplifying narratives of complicity despite the company's apolitical stance on product deployment. Founder expressed reservations in July 2023 about establishing the firm in Israel today, citing regulatory hurdles and geopolitical instability as deterrents for startups, reflecting internal acknowledgment of location-based risks. Competitive criticisms of Check Point are less prominent and often anecdotal, focusing on perceived stagnation in relative to U.S.-based rivals like or . Industry analysts have noted Check Point's reliance on legacy firewall technologies amid a shift toward cloud-native and AI-driven , contributing to market share erosion in segments like endpoint detection. However, these views lack formal antitrust actions specific to Check Point; broader cybersecurity sector concerns about consolidation and , raised by U.S. senators in 2023, do not single out the firm. Trademark disputes, such as the 2001-2003 litigation with Checkpoint Systems over naming similarities, centered on unfair competition claims under the but were resolved without findings of predatory practices. Check Point's defenders attribute competitive challenges to execution rather than misconduct, with the company maintaining leadership in unified threat management per evaluations.
