Check Point Teams Up With Wiz

Earlier today the news filtered out that Wiz and Check Point are going to team up:

The partnership between Check Point and Wiz addresses these issues head-on offering customers:

  • Unified Security Insights: Check Point’s cloud network security controls integrated within Wiz’s CNAPP risk platform, enabling cloud security teams to automatically prevent attacks access real-time network-driven insights for smarter risk prioritization
  • Enhanced Risk Context: Wiz’s advanced risk analysis feeds integrate directly into Check Point’s platform, providing network security teams with actionable recommendations to optimize security coverage and configurations
  • Prioritization of Unsecured Assets: Cloud security teams are empowered to identify and address unsecured assets more effectively, leveraging network security data to guide decision-making
  • Optimized Security Operations: Network security teams benefit from tailored recommendations generated by Wiz’s platform, enhancing operational efficiency across hybrid environments

The mutually beneficial partnership includes joint integration and the assisted migration of Check Point’s CNAPP customers to Wiz. Check Point expects to reallocate resources and make further investments across its Cloud Security business, including Cloud Network Security, Web Application Firewall (WAF), GenAI and other key Cloud technologies.

Marina Segal, CEO, Tamnoon highlights the risks associated with this team up:

“As organizations transition from Check Point CloudGuard to Wiz, under their newly announced partnership, it is critical to maintain continuous security operations while minimizing disruption. CNAPP migrations can take time and energy from already understaffed security teams. Our experience has shown that it is important to follow a proven process and make sure you have experts to guide every successful migration of any CNAPP.”

It will be interesting to see how organizations navigate this so that the best outcome possible is the one that they get.
