Check Point Software Technologies has announced that its Infinity Portal and a suite of cloud-delivered SaaS security services have received certification from the Dubai Electronic Security Center (DESC) under the Cloud Service Provider (CSP) Security Standard. This certification validates the company’s compliance with UAE cloud security standards, enhancing Check Point Software’s engagement with public sector and regulated entities.
The certification affirms Check Point’s compliance with regulatory expectations for service providers operating within government and semi-government ecosystems in the United Arab Emirates. “Achieving DESC certification reflects our ongoing commitment to regional cybersecurity priorities,” said Ram Narayanan, Country Manager, Middle East at Check Point Software Technologies Ltd.. “It reinforces our trusted position as a cybersecurity partner to UAE government stakeholders and ensures our Infinity Platform meets the rigorous standards required for critical infrastructure and public sector operations.”
The certification applies to Check Point’s SaaS offerings in the UAE, including Harmony Email & Collaboration, Harmony Endpoint, Harmony Mobile, Harmony Browse, Infinity XDR/XPR, Infinity Events, Next-Gen Security Management, and Quantum Smart-1 Cloud. These services, delivered through the Infinity Portal, are now recognized as compliant with the DESC framework from May 2025 through May 2026.
