Check Point Software Technologies has released Check Point Quantum Firewall Software R82.10, a major update delivering more than 20 new capabilities designed to secure AI transformation, enforce Zero Trust and unify protection across hybrid mesh networks.
The new release arrives as organisations accelerate adoption of AI tools and LLM development, expanding connectivity across users, branches and cloud environments. This growth is creating new risks, including AI-generated threats, identity-based attacks and configuration drift. R82.10 is designed to help enterprises move to a prevention-first security model with unified controls that improve visibility, strengthen Zero Trust and support safe, responsible AI adoption.
“As organisations embrace AI, security teams are under growing pressure to protect more data, more applications and more distributed environments,” said Nataly Kremer (pictured), Chief Product Officer at Check Point Software Technologies. “R82.10 helps enterprises shift to a prevention-first model by unifying management, strengthening Zero Trust and adding protections that support safe, responsible AI adoption and development.”
R82.10 includes new features across four key operational areas:
Supporting safe AI adoption
- Detects unauthorised GenAI tools and expands visibility into AI applications including ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini
- Monitors MCP (model context protocol) usage to protect AI-powered workflows
Strengthening hybrid mesh network security
- Centralised internet access management for SASE and firewalls
- Simplified gateway-to-SASE connectivity
- Improved identity and device posture validation to extend Zero Trust at scale
Taking a prevention-first approach to modern threats
- Phishing protection that operates without requiring HTTPS inspection
- Adaptive IPS to reduce alert fatigue
- Threat Prevention Insights to identify misconfigurations and posture gaps before exploitation
Eliminating silos with unified security
- More than 250 integrations via Check Point’s open-garden architecture
- Ability to apply endpoint posture signals from existing providers directly within Check Point policies to strengthen identity-based controls and Zero Trust enforcement
R82.10 integrates with Check Point’s full AI security stack, further enhanced by the recent acquisition of Lakera. Combined with the Infinity Platform and the company’s open-garden architecture, enterprises gain a unified pathway to secure AI usage, automate prevention and increase resilience across hybrid environments.
