Check Point to Acquire Lakera in $300 Mn Deal to Strengthen AI Security

TEL AVIV, Sept. 17, 2025 — Check Point Software Technologies has announced it will acquire Lakera, an AI-native security platform for Agentic AI applications, in a deal valued at $300 million. The move positions Check Point to deliver one of the industry’s first full end-to-end AI security stacks.

“AI is transforming every business process, but it also introduces new attack surfaces,” said Nadav Zafrir, CEO at Check Point Software Technologies. “We chose Lakera because it brings AI-native security, superior precision, and speed at scale. Together we are setting the benchmark for how enterprises adopt and trust AI.”

As enterprises embed large language models, generative AI, and autonomous agents into workflows, risks such as model manipulation, data exposure, and vulnerabilities in multi-agent systems are expanding. Lakera’s platform provides runtime protection, pre-deployment assessments, and continuous red teaming to defend against evolving threats. Its flagship products, Lakera Red and Lakera Guard, secure LLMs, agents, and multimodal workflows in real time.

“Lakera was purpose-built for the AI era, with real-time runtime security and research at its core,” said David Haber, Co-Founder and CEO at Lakera. “Joining Check Point allows us to accelerate and scale our mission globally. Together we will protect LLMs, generative AI, and agents with the speed, accuracy, and guardrails enterprises need to embrace AI with confidence.”

Following the acquisition, Lakera will become the foundation of Check Point’s Global Center of Excellence for AI Security. The deal is expected to close in Q4 2025, subject to customary approvals.
