Recognized for our prevention-first network security platform across hybrid environments.
The 2025 Forrester Wave™: Zero Trust Platforms, Q3 2025, has named Check Point a Leader. For us, this recognition reflects the maturity of our Zero Trust capabilities and the focus we’ve placed on unifying control, automating defenses, and enabling secure operations at scale.
As Zero Trust moves from a framework to an operational mandate, enterprise security leaders are asking a simple question: which platforms can actually deliver across cloud, network, users, and workloads? Check Point stands out not just for our vision, but for our ability to put that vision into action.
“[Check Point] delivers a unified, prevention-first security platform that covers network, cloud, and endpoint controls across hybrid environments.” – The Forrester Wave™: Zero Trust Platforms, Q3 2025
Why Check Point Is a Leader
Check Point received the highest possible scores (5/5) in six critical evaluation criteria. We believe these scores, across both the current offering and strategy categories, reinforce our leadership in delivering a comprehensive and operationally aligned Zero Trust architecture.
Current Offering
Centralized Management and Usability
Security teams operate better with context and clarity. Our Infinity Platform delivers intuitive UX/UI with a single interface for policy management, incident resolution, and enforcement across network, cloud, and endpoint environments.
Segmentation and Control
Dynamic segmentation is enforced across traffic flows, workloads, and users, all powered by integrated identity and behavioral telemetry. With centralized policy control, organizations can reduce lateral movement risks without increasing operational overhead.
Least-Privileged-Access Enforcement
Access controls are precise and conditional – adapted to user roles, device posture, session context, and more. Our integrations with identity providers ensure access decisions are driven by real-time risk, not static rules.
Deployment
Check Point offers frictionless deployment across hybrid infrastructure; whether for cloud-native applications, campus environments, or distributed networks. Customers can adopt Zero Trust progressively, without compromising security consistency.
“The vendor’s segmentation and control leverage a mesh network of physical or logical enforcement points across network, cloud, and endpoints for broad visibility and holistic policy enforcement.” – The Forrester Wave™: Zero Trust Platforms, Q3 2025
Strategy
Roadmap
Our product direction reflects the practical needs of security operations. We’re investing in AI-led automation, simplified policy enforcement, and greater alignment between identity, threat data, and enforcement logic, all necessary to scale Zero Trust.
Supporting Services and Offerings
Successful implementation goes beyond tooling. Our customers benefit from structured onboarding programs, expert services, and proven frameworks that accelerate time to value – backed by deep support throughout their Zero Trust journey.
“Organizations looking for a centralized, easy-to-manage, and holistic network security platform for local networks and cloud environments should include Check Point on their shortlist.” – The Forrester Wave™: Zero Trust Platforms, Q3 2025
Built to Meet the Demands of Zero Trust
Zero Trust isn’t a feature. It’s an architecture-wide commitment that requires simplicity, unification, and visibility. While many platforms support parts of that vision, Check Point addresses the operational reality: CISOs and their teams need fewer consoles, tighter enforcement, and faster decision-making.
That’s where the Infinity Platform comes in.
- Consistent Enforcement Across the Ecosystem: Our strategy ensures unified Zero Trust policies across users, workloads, and environments—on-prem, cloud, and everything in between.
- AI-Driven Security by Design: Our platform introduces intelligence at every layer, streamlining threat prevention and response with automation and real-time decision-making.
- Centralized Control with Deep Visibility: From policy to response, our single platform simplifies security operations while enabling flexible segmentation, access enforcement, and behavioral insight.
Capabilities like Infinity Copilot (AI-powered policy and incident support), Infinity Playblocks (automated orchestration), and shared intelligence infrastructure provide the foundation for repeatable, scalable Zero Trust adoption.
Moving Forward: Our Vision for Zero Trust
“[Check Point’s] roadmap showcases a long-term plan to deliver AI-driven capabilities to automate network security functions.” – The Forrester Wave™: Zero Trust Platforms, Q3 2025
Recognition in The Forrester Wave™: Zero Trust Platform, Q3 2025 is not a finish line. For us it’s a benchmark – one we aim to exceed with every product improvement, customer partnership, and strategic decision.
