Check Point launches AI Network Firewall for AI application security

Check Point has released its AI Network Firewall, which runs on customers' existing infrastructure without new hardware or consoles. It discovers shadow AI apps, enforces policy on AI agent and MCP traffic, and blocks prompt injection using technology from the acquired startup Lakera.

• Firewall deploys on existing infrastructure with no new hardware or console
• Prompt-injection defense is built on technology from acquired startup Lakera
• IBM: shadow AI incidents hit 43% of breached organizations, up from 20% a year earlier
• Zscaler added AI security to Zero Trust Exchange; Cloudflare offers a standalone AI Gateway
