To deliver the most secure SASE Solution, the technology will allow organizations to prevent cyberattacks on their SaaS ecosystem: discover and disconnect malicious applications, prevent communication with risky 3rd party applications and fix SaaS misconfigurations.
Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. has announced the acquisition of an early-stage start-up Atmosec. The move reinforces Check Point‘s commitment to enhance its SaaS security offering and address the security gaps and blind spots in SaaS applications. Atmosec was founded in January 2021 and employs 17 employees.
The widespread adoption of SaaS applications has exposed organizations to an increased array of cyber threats. The ever-expanding SaaS landscape not only increases the potential attack surface, but it also introduces many apps that could be harmful or misused to leak sensitive information, often bypassing proper IT authorization.
“Integrating Atmosec’s technology into Check Point Infinity sets us to deliver one of the industry’s most secure SASE solutions, enabling organizations to effectively manage SaaS security, prevent data leaks, unauthorized access, and malware dissemination, and ensure a robust, adaptive zero trust environment,” shared Nataly Kremer, Chief Product Officer and Head of R&D, Check Point Software Technologies.
Post acquisition, new capabilities will be incrementally released based on roadmap milestones, enabling organizations to utilize these critical enhancements from the same Check Point Infinity platform they already use today.
The acquisition of Atmosec is expected to close by mid-September 2023.
