Check Point Software Launches End-to-End Automated Threat Intelligence Platform in Singapore

Unique Platform Combines AI/ML-Powered Threat Intelligence, Dark Web and Vulnerability Tracking, SaaS, and More

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd, a global leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered, cloud-delivered cybersecurity, has announced the launch of its revolutionary automated threat intelligence platform in Singapore. It is a pioneering move that uniquely integrates offensive and defensive cyber security measures with full local data residency.

Designed to proactively detect, validate, and neutralise threats before they escalate, Check Point’s new Proactive Security Strategy Platform combines AI/ML powered Threat Intelligence, Dark Web and vulnerability tracking, SaaS, email threat protection and automated remediation, all in one seamless, AI-driven solution. This locally-hosted platform marks a significant shift in how enterprises can manage cyber security risks in real time.

Check Point Offers Strategic Leap Forward in Proactive Security

Today, the cybersecurity threat landscape has changed dramatically. AI-powered attacks like email impersonation, and phishing websites are increasing in frequency and sophistication, causing millions in losses globally and exposing critical data at scale.

“In today’s threat landscape, organisations simply cannot afford to depend on reactive protection. You have to start building your cybersecurity now, for the threats of tomorrow,” said Rebecca Law, Country Manager, Singapore, at Check Point Software Technologies. “It’s about being proactive, and future-proofing security operations for your organisation.”

Traditional cybersecurity tools stop short of action, detecting the threats but requiring manual response. Yet, with the persistent shortage of skilled cybersecurity professionals, and the reality of stretched security teams, many enterprises simply cannot keep up.

“Proper cybersecurity hygiene today requires Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM),” explained Abhishek Kumar Singh, Head, Security Engineering, at Check Point Software Technologies Singapore. “However, most organisations do not have the unified and right tools to operationalize CTEM effectively across the offensive and defensive layers.”

Check Point’s new platform is one of the first to offer an automated solution that can help organisations bridge the gap between defence and offence, completing the CTEM cycle consistently, and at scale. It plays a critical role in delivering faster, more resilient cybersecurity services by bringing protection closer to the user. By localising traffic, this locally-hosted platform reduces round-trip time, enabling quicker threat detection and policy enforcement, while improving application responsiveness—often noticeably so. With built-in redundancy and high availability, this platform will ensure business continuity, strengthening uptime and minimising disruption across the network.

The platform brings together a robust set of features designed to proactively identify, validate, and neutralise cyber threats across the entire attack surface. Each capability is engineered to close the gaps that traditional tools miss. Most importantly, all metadata and sensitive information is hosted within Singapore, enabling policy enforcement at the local level and ensuring compliance with local regulatory requirements by maintaining jurisdictional control over data flows. This will additionally provide customers an added layer of security.

“This locally-hosted platform is foundational to Zero Trust and Hybrid Mesh architectures, serving as secure, policy—enforcing entry points that enable fast, authenticated access across the Asia Pacific region. As the future evolves, AI-driven and edge-native platforms will deliver real-time threat detection, low-latency performance, and sustainable infrastructure tailored for modern, cloud-first enterprises,” added Law.

What the Platform Brings

Powered by real-time threat intelligence and automation, the platform enables:

  • Proactive Email Security: This includes Business Email Compromise (BEC) Protection, DMARC management, phishing and threat prevention
  • Proactive SaaS + Generative AI Security: This includes Generative-AI driven risks, third party SaaS discovery, and enforces SaaS security best practices
  • Proactive Hybrid Mesh security: This includes AI-powered threat prevention across hybrid environments, unified policy engine, logging and compliance, automation and intelligent operations
  • Proactive External Risk Security: This includes comprehensive attack surface monitoring, digital risk protection with targeted threat intelligence, including Dark Web monitoring and remediation of risks and launching of website takedown requests

Check Point is also laying the groundwork for third-party integration at a later stage, aiming to support broader security ecosystems while maintaining the strength of its proprietary intelligence. “This is not just another product, but a shift in strategy,” Law further stated.

Check Point’s new threat intelligence platform is available immediately in Singapore and for ASEAN customers via www.checkpoint.com.
