Check Point has launched the AI Defense Plane, a control layer intended to help enterprises govern how AI is connected, deployed, and operated across the business. The product is designed to cover employee use of AI tools, AI-powered applications, and more autonomous agentic systems as organisations move from experimentation to production deployment.
Check Point’s argument is that enterprise AI risk is shifting from content generation to action. As systems gain the ability to access data, call tools, chain tasks, and operate with greater autonomy, the company says the real challenge is no longer only what an AI model says, but what it is allowed to do inside live environments. That brings runtime controls, observability, and permission governance much closer to the centre of AI security strategy.
David Haber, VP, AI Security at Check Point Software Technologies, said: “The enterprise is entering the agentic era. AI is no longer limited to generating content. It is beginning to access systems, use tools, chain actions, and operate with increasing autonomy. That changes the security model. The challenge is no longer just what AI says, but what AI can do. Organisations need more than model safety. They need runtime control over how AI behaves inside real environments. The AI Defense Plane provides that control across employees, applications, and AI agents.”
The new control plane sits on top of Check Point’s wider AI Security platform and draws on technologies from ThreatCloud AI, as well as the company’s Lakera and Cyata acquisitions. Check Point says the platform can deliver adaptive protection in under 50 milliseconds across more than 100 languages.
The launch includes three main modules: Workforce AI Security, AI Application & Agent Security, and AI Red Teaming, with the first two available immediately and the red teaming component in limited release.
George Davis, product leader at Sierra, said: “Red teaming has become essential for agentic systems. When AI can query infrastructure, trigger workflows, and interact with sensitive data, the risk is no longer theoretical. Organisations need continuous testing to understand how these systems can be manipulated, where controls break down, and how resilient they are in production.”
Check Point will demonstrate the AI Defense Plane at RSA Conference 2026, where it is also planning to show “Gandalf: The Agent Gauntlet”, a red teaming showcase focused on agentic attack paths.
