“AI is transforming every business process, but it also introduces new attack surfaces,” said Nadav Zafrir, CEO at Check Point Software Technologies. “We chose Lakera because it brings AI-native security, superior precision, and speed at scale. Together we are setting the benchmark for how enterprises adopt and trust AI.”

Enterprises are rapidly embedding large language models, generative AI, and autonomous agents into core workflows. This accelerates innovation but also expands the attack surface, from data exposure and model manipulation to risks introduced by multi-agent collaboration and autonomous decision-making. As data becomes the new executable and the Internet of Agents takes shape, real-time AI-native security has become a business imperative.

“Lakera was purpose-built for the AI era, with real-time runtime security and research at its core,” said David Haber, Co-Founder and CEO at Lakera. “Joining Check Point allows us to accelerate and scale our mission globally. Together we will protect LLMs, generative AI, and agents with the speed, accuracy, and guardrails enterprises need to embrace AI with confidence.”

Founded by AI experts from Google and Meta, Lakera was engineered specifically for AI-native environments. The company operates major AI R&D centers in Zurich and San Francisco. Its flagship solutions, Lakera Red and Lakera Guard, provide pre-deployment posture assessments and real-time runtime enforcement to protect LLMs, AI agents, and multimodal workflows. Lakera’s platform combines advanced runtime protection with continuous red teaming, reinforced by Gandalf, a worldwide leader of adversarial AI network.

This unique approach ensures evolving defenses that stay ahead of emerging AI threats, giving enterprises confidence to deploy AI securely and at scale. Lakera is trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises worldwide and powered by a team of 11 PhDs, ensuring both technical rigor and enterprise-grade resilience.
