Check Point and Illumio Expand Partnership to Deliver Protection and Resilience Against Frontier AI-Powered Attacks

CHKP
  • Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. and Illumio Inc. announced an expanded strategic partnership on June 16, 2026, to defend against frontier AI models that autonomously execute full-scale attacks at machine speed.
  • The collaboration combines Check Point's perimeter defense capabilities with Illumio's breach containment and microsegmentation controls to stop attacks at the edge & contain them if they bypass the perimeter.
  • Frontier AI models compress the entire attack lifecycle, including discovery, exploitation, & lateral movement, into a single automated sequence with little human involvement.
  • Check Point delivers real-time threat prevention against unknown attacks & comprehensive Zero Trust security for the perimeter, data center, & networks.
  • Illumio provides visibility into workload communications, exposes attack paths, & uses microsegmentation to limit breach spread & protect critical assets.
  • Customers can now procure Illumio directly through Check Point to simplify vendor consolidation & accelerate deployment.
  • The partnership builds on the 2025 integration of Check Point threat intelligence with Illumio Insights & adds deep integration with Illumio Segmentation.
  • Security teams can align Check Point firewall policies with Illumio's workload model across hybrid & multi-cloud environments to reduce unnecessary connectivity & hinder lateral movement.
  • IDC research forecasts microsegmentation to grow at 23.5% CAGR, with 98.3% of buyers preferring solutions that integrate tightly with SASE, firewalls, or other Zero Trust technologies.
  • The expanded integration is available immediately for joint Check Point & Illumio customers, with technical guidance provided in a joint white paper.
