Stellantis recalls over 72,000 Ram vehicles due to display issues
Investing.com -- Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ:CHKP) stock rose 2% on Thursday after the cybersecurity firm announced a major software update designed to help enterprises securely adopt AI technologies and strengthen protection across distributed networks.
The company’s new Quantum Firewall Software, R82.10, introduces 20 new capabilities focused on enabling organizations to implement a prevention-first security model while supporting AI adoption. The update addresses emerging risks including AI-generated threats, identity abuse, and configuration drift across hybrid environments.
Key features of the update include the ability to detect unauthorized GenAI tools, expanded visibility into AI applications like ChatGPT and Gemini, and monitoring of model context protocol usage to protect AI workflows. The software also introduces phishing protection that works without HTTPS inspection and adaptive IPS to reduce alert fatigue.
"As organizations embrace AI, security teams are under growing pressure to protect more data, more applications and more distributed environments," said Nataly Kremer, Chief Product Officer at Check Point Software Technologies.
The update strengthens Check Point’s integration capabilities with more than 250 third-party tools, allowing organizations to apply endpoint posture signals from existing providers directly within Check Point policies. This approach aims to improve identity-based controls and Zero Trust enforcement across hybrid networks.
The R82.10 software release comes as enterprises rapidly increase their use of AI tools and large language model development, creating new security challenges that require unified protection strategies. The software will be available for download later this month, according to the company.
