Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading cyber security platform provider of AI-powered, cloud-delivered solutions, has announced the launch of its advanced Extended Detection and Response (XDR) solution, the Check Point Infinity XDR/XPR, in the UAE. This significant move aims to address the region’s critical need for a prevention-first cyber security strategy, equipping organizations to proactively identify, prevent, and mitigate complex cyber threats. 

Check Point’s Infinity XDR/XPR advances beyond traditional detection-based solutions by emphasizing a proactive, prevention-first approach to cyber security. As the UAE’s digital landscape grows more complex, so does the demand for sophisticated security measures. Infinity XDR/XPR excels by integrating and analyzing threat data from across an organization’s entire security ecosystem, including networks, endpoints, emails, cloud environments, and IoT devices, alongside third-party data. This comprehensive solution not only identifies and addresses critical threats that might otherwise be missed but also utilizes automated playbooks to contain attacks, prevent their recurrence, and minimize operational disruption, providing robust and efficient protection. 

“We are proud to introduce Check Point Infinity XDR/XPR to the UAE, reinforcing our commitment to delivering proactive, prevention-first cyber security solutions in the region,” said Ram Narayanan, Country Manager at Check Point Software Technologies, Middle East. “Infinity XDR/XPR is designed to not just detect but prevent sophisticated attacks before they impact organizations. By integrating seamlessly with the Check Point Infinity Platform, it provides a comprehensive, collaborative and consolidated protection against today’s evolving cyber threats. This launch is a key part of our ongoing investment in the region, enabling businesses to stay ahead in the ever-changing cyber threat landscape.”
