The risk of falling victim to ransomware attacks and leaking data to shadow software as a service (SaaS) and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools are exacerbated by remote user connections over unsecured networks and BYOD devices.
Rise in ransomware, data loss events
Attesting to these concerns are some alarming numbers: last year marked a 90% increase in publicly extorted ransomware victims and an estimated 55% of data loss events are due to GenAI usage.
To address this, Check Point Software recently announced innovative GenAI-powered capabilities across the Harmony Suite to address these very challenges.
New generative AI-powered solutions to secure the workspace
In today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape, the implications of GenAI applications are a growing concern. As ChatGPT and Gemini continue to gain traction in the workforce, organizations are faced with a productivity vs. risk dilemma.
Available through the company’s Preview Program, Check Point’s new GenAI security solution lets organizations safely adopt Generative AI applications, while addressing the risk to business data and regulatory compliance.
Unliked standard data protection solutions, which fail to identify context in conversational prompts, this new solution features groundbreaking GenAI-based data classification to prevent data leakage in GenAI applications.
The company said its all-new solution lets organizations:
- Discover all their shadow GenAI tools, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.
- See their top GenAI use cases, e.g., marketing, coding, data analytics and more
- Identify the highest risk GenAI applications and prioritize mitigation
- Prevent data loss using transformative GenAI-powered data analysis
- Meet regulations with enterprise grade monitoring and visibility

- Supporting safe adoption of generative AI applications in the enterprise
Cloud AI engines for even better prevention
Infinity ThreatCloud AI, the central nervous system across the Infinity Platform, shares fresh threat intelligence globally in under two seconds.
This means that a new attack signature identified by an endpoint in Brazil will be blocked 2 seconds later by a cloud workload in Japan, a network gateway in Italy or a mobile device in Zimbabwe.
Boasting an industry-leading 99.8% malware catch rate, ThreatCloud AI is now enhanced with new engines to identify highly complex attacks and threat campaigns, including:
- ThreatCloud Graph engine for multi-dimensional assessment of cyber threats; prevents emerging threats by seeing their relation to known malicious artifacts
- Automatic URL categorization of new sites using AI-based natural language processing (NLP)
- Preventing C2 & MDN (Malware Delivery Network) communications based on features that distinguish between the traffic patterns of malicious and benign websites
- Deep Brand Clustering: Leverage deep learning to prevent brand spoofing phishing campaigns
Raising the Bar with GenAI to Secure the WorkspaceWith our latest AI and GenAI-powered releases, Check Point is enhancing security yet again for organizations looking to protect their workspace with the Harmony Suite, which provides 360° threat prevention across the remote/hybrid workforce, on any network, every device, and all web applications.
In addition to safe GenAI adoption and next-gen data protection across the workspace, Check Point’s robust AI-driven cyber security portfolio includes AI Copilot, AI Cloud Protect and ThreatCloud AI.
