BREAKING: Check Point’s Desperate Attempt to Boost Lagging SOC Capabilities
In a shocking move, Check Point Software Technologies has announced the acquisition of Cyberint Technologies, a struggling external risk management (ERM) solutions provider. The deal, worth an undisclosed amount, is seen as a desperate attempt by Check Point to strengthen its security operations centre (SOC) capabilities and stay relevant in a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape.
Cyberint, founded in 2010, has been struggling to gain traction in the market, and its threat intelligence, digital risk protection, and attack surface management solutions have failed to impress. The company’s technology, which relies heavily on artificial intelligence, has been criticized for its high false positive rates and limited effectiveness in detecting and mitigating advanced threats.
Despite these concerns, Check Point is betting big on Cyberint’s technology, claiming that it will enhance its Infinity Platform and expand its managed threat intelligence offerings. The acquisition is expected to strengthen collaborative threat prevention and provide customers with a more comprehensive view of their security posture.
But is this really a good deal for Check Point? The acquisition is seen as a desperate attempt to boost the company’s lagging SOC capabilities, which have been criticized for their lack of visibility and limited threat detection capabilities. By acquiring Cyberint, Check Point is trying to shore up its weaknesses and stay competitive in a market dominated by larger players.
The deal also raises questions about the future of Cyberint’s employees, who will be absorbed into Check Point’s global platform. Will they be able to adapt to Check Point’s culture and technology, or will they be forced to conform to the company’s rigid standards?
In the end, the acquisition of Cyberint is a risky move for Check Point, and it remains to be seen whether it will pay off in the long run.
