Global cyber security and AI leaders join initiative to support Check Point’s strategy as organisations accelerate digital and AI transformation
Johannesburg, SA. March, 2026 — Check Point Software Technologies
Ltd. [1] (NASDAQ: CHKP), a pioneer and global leader in cyber security
solutions, today announced the launch of the Check Point Executive
Advisory Board, bringing together leading experts across cyber security,
artificial intelligence and enterprise technology to help guide the
company’s strategy as organisations accelerate AI adoption and digital
transformation.
“This is a defining moment in technology as organisations rapidly
adopt artificial intelligence to transform how they operate, innovate
and compete,” said Nadav Zafrir, CEO of Check Point Software
Technologies. “AI is reshaping the cyber threat landscape just as
quickly, which means security must evolve to protect new AI-driven
environments. By bringing together this group of industry leaders, we
are strengthening our ability to guide that transformation and ensure
organisations can adopt AI securely and confidently.”
As artificial intelligence becomes embedded across enterprise
operations, securing AI systems, data and infrastructure is emerging as
one of the most critical cyber security challenges facing organisations
today. The Executive Advisory Board will provide strategic insight on
technology innovation, evolving threat dynamics and market priorities as
Check Point continues to expand its AI-driven cyber security platform
and strategy.
The board is spearheaded by Nadav Zafrir and will collaborate with Check
Point leadership on key priorities including product strategy,
innovation and global market expansion. Dave DeWalt, Founder and CEO of
NightDragon, will co-chair the board and help engage experienced
industry leaders and advisors to contribute strategic market
perspectives.
