Check Point Software Technologies has announced the acquisition of startup Atmosec, which specialises in the rapid discovery and disconnection of malicious SaaS applications, preventing risky 3rd party SaaS communications, and rectifying SaaS misconfigurations.
The move will enhance Check Point’s SaaS security offering and address the security gaps and blind spots in SaaS applications.
“The shift to SaaS applications introduces specific challenges, notably in the realm of malicious SaaS-to-SaaS communications. Atmosec’s capabilities in SaaS discovery, risk assessment, and full visibility are instrumental in addressing these challenges,” said Nataly Kremer (top), Chief Product Officer and Head of R&D at Check Point Software Technologies.
“Integrating Atmosec’s technology into Check Point Infinity sets us to deliver one of the industry’s most secure SASE solutions, enabling organisations to effectively manage SaaS security, prevent data leaks, unauthorised access, and malware dissemination, and ensure a robust, adaptive zero trust environment,” she added.
With Atmosec’s technology, Check Point Infinity will offer SaaS security with continuous SaaS posture management, prevention of malicious communications, and a full security stack for SaaS apps including threat prevention, data protection, and adaptative zero-trust access controls for both users and devices.
New capabilities will be incrementally released based on roadmap milestones, enabling organisations to utilise these critical enhancements from Check Point Infinity platform.
