Check Point Software (CHKP - Free Report) recently extended its collaboration with Intel Corporation (INTC - Free Report) to provide enhanced anti-ransomware capabilities to Check Point Harmony clients.
Integrating the Threat Detection Technology (TDT), available on Intel’s vPro(R) platform into Check Point’s Harmony Endpoint solution offers processor level anti-ransomware security to the enterprises at both the hardware and software levels without any additional cost. The Harmony Endpoint from CHKP is a complete endpoint security solution built to protect remote workforce from imminent threats like ransomware, phishing or drive-by malware, that quickly minimizes breach impact with autonomous detection and response.
The TDT technology from Intel enables CHKP’s Harmony Endpoint to employ artificial intelligence and machine learning for analyzing CPU telemetry and recognizing ransomware encryption commands before time in the attack flow. This, in turn, stops any operational or financial damages generated by the inflow of ransomware attacks. The integrated solution, which will ensure enterprise customers get access to expanded protection surface, will be made available in early 2023.
Check Point collaborated with Intel Corporation in August 2022 to avail Check Point Quantum IoT Protect solution within Intel’s new platform for IoT device developers, Intel Pathfinder for RISC-V. This enabled the IoT developers to integrate cybersecurity conveniently without hampering its product performance.
In third-quarter 2022, Check Point's subscription revenues jumped 13.4% to $215.5 million, driven by double-digit revenue growth in CloudGuard and Harmony solutions. The company intends to accelerate its future revenues through these subscription-based solutions and services.
