Check Point to Acquire Lakera to Build Full-Stack AI Security

Lakera will anchor a new AI Security center to embed runtime defenses for enterprise AI into Check Point's Infinity platform.

Overview

  • The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions.
  • The combined roadmap targets full AI lifecycle protection, spanning pre-deployment testing through real-time safeguards for production models and autonomous agents.
  • Lakera’s offerings include Lakera Red for posture assessments and Lakera Guard for runtime enforcement, reinforced by its Gandalf adversarial network with more than 80 million attack patterns.
  • Lakera reports detection rates above 98% with sub‑50 millisecond latency and false positives below 0.5%, figures presented as company claims.
  • Financial terms were not disclosed, though SecurityWeek reported an estimated $300 million price, and the move extends a wave of AI security acquisitions by major vendors.
