Check Point Software to Showcase AI-Driven Cybersecurity Innovations at GITEX 2025

At GITEX 2025, Check Point Software Technologies, led by Country Manager Ram Narayanan, is set to demonstrate its cutting-edge Infinity portfolio, featuring CloudGuard, Harmony, and Quantum solutions tailored for the Middle East’s unique cybersecurity challenges.

Tell us about your participation at GITEX 2025. How does this year’s presence differ from previous editions?
This year, we’re taking a very hands-on, customer-focused approach. While Check Point Software has always brought innovation and leadership to GITEX, in 2025 we’re highlighting how those solutions are applied locally. Our leadership, engineers and experts will be on-site to interact directly with attendees. We’re showcasing solutions designed to address the unique operational, regulatory and cyber security challenges faced by organizations in the UAE and the broader Middle East. For the first time, visitors will see how innovation translates into measurable impact for organizations across the region.

Which flagship products, solutions, or innovations will you be spotlighting at the event, and what makes them relevant to today’s tech challenges?
Visitors will have the opportunity to explore live demos across our Infinity portfolio. This includes CloudGuard for cloud security, Harmony for endpoint, email and collaboration and Quantum for network and data center security. The demos illustrate how organizations can unify security across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Beyond the technology, we’ll also highlight local adoption and regulatory compliance. Our DESC-certified solutions, delivered through the UAE Infinity Portal, allow organizations to manage security centrally while keeping data securely within the UAE. This combination of innovation and compliance is increasingly critical as enterprises tackle today’s fragmented and fast-changing environments.

Will you be unveiling any new partnerships, launches, or strategic announcements during GITEX?
While the focus is on direct engagement with customers, GITEX provides a platform to emphasize our regional collaborations and compliance achievements. Our DESC certification, for example, reinforces the trust organizations—especially in the public sector—can place in our AI powered cloud solutions. We’re also showcasing how our partnerships with local channel partners enhance support and ensure that customers can implement solutions efficiently and confidently.It’s about building an ecosystem of trust and agility, not just announcing products.

How would you describe the evolution of the regional tech ecosystem over the past two years, particularly in areas like AI, cybersecurity, and digital infrastructure?
Organizations are rapidly moving toward hybrid, multi-cloud environments, which has shifted cybersecurity from a reactive task to a strategic enabler. This is where hybrid mesh security comes in—it unifies protection across data centers, cloud and distributed networks, giving teams centralized visibility and automated prevention. At GITEX, we’ll show how this framework helps enterprises respond to sophisticated threats while simplifying operations across complex infrastructures. Cyber security in the Middle East has shifted from being a barrier to becoming a business accelerator.

What emerging trends or technologies are you seeing gain traction in the Middle East, and how is your company responding to them?
AI-driven security, hybrid mesh frameworks, and open ecosystems are growing rapidly. Organizations need security that adapts across diverse environments. Check Point addresses this through ThreatCloud AI for predictive threat prevention, hybrid mesh security for unified control and our open garden ecosystem that integrates with over 250 third-party vendors. The result is a flexible, future-proof architecture that balances security, performance and operational efficiency. This gives enterprises the confidence to embrace AI and cloud innovation securely knowing their defenses evolve as fast as the threats.

How have recent shifts in regulation, data governance, or sustainability goals influenced your regional strategy?
Compliance is a key consideration for our customers. Achieving DESC certification for our UAE-hosted SaaS offerings was a deliberate effort to demonstrate that our solutions meet the highest local standards. This allows both public and private sector organizations to adopt cloud-based tools confidently, knowing that security and regulatory requirements are fully addressed. It proves that strong security and strict compliance can go hand-in-hand, unlocking faster digital transformation.

What kind of interactive experiences—such as live demos, immersive showcases, or hands-on labs—can visitors expect at your booth this year?
We’ve designed the booth to be highly experiential. Attendees can explore live demos of CloudGuard, Harmony, and Quantum solutions, seeing firsthand how centralized management, AI-driven threat detection, and automated responses work in practice. Beyond demonstrations, our experts will guide visitors on how these solutions can be tailored to their specific operational and compliance needs. The goal is to provide practical, actionable insights, not just a technology showcase. We want visitors to walk away not only impressed, but confident they can apply what they saw the very next day.

Are you planning any hybrid engagements like webinars, virtual panels, or digital showcases to complement your on-ground presence at GITEX?
Yes, absolutely. Our goal is to make GITEX accessible beyond the show floor, so we are complementing our physical presence with hybrid formats such as webinars, digital showcases and virtual panels. These will allow regional and global audiences to engage with our experts, explore live demos and access key insights—even if they cannot attend in person. It’s about extending the GITEX experience, ensuring that innovation, prevention-first strategies and practical knowledge are shared widely, without geographical limits.

How are you leveraging AI or data analytics to enhance visitor engagement and personalize the GITEX experience?
A key part of our AI strategy is Infinity ThreatCloud AI, which powers all of Check Point’s security solutions. It aggregates telemetry from millions of devices across 150,000 connected networks, analyzes Indicators of Compromise and continuously updates defenses against known and emerging threats. At GITEX, we’ll demonstrate how ThreatCloud AI enables real-time threat detection and automated responses across our Infinity portfolio—from CloudGuard and Quantum to Harmony solutions. Beyond showcasing technology, it helps personalize interactions: demos and discussions are tailored to a visitor’s environment and security priorities, showing precisely how AI can proactively protect their organization. This turns AI from a buzzword into a tangible advantage for resilience and business growth.

How does your participation at GITEX align with broader regional initiatives such as the UAE’s AI strategy, Saudi Vision 2030, or other regional digital transformation agendas?
Our participation underscores Check Point’s commitment to enabling secure digital transformation in alignment with national strategies. By supporting AI-driven innovation, cloud adoption and regulatory compliance, we contribute to the UAE’s AI ambitions and Saudi Vision 2030 objectives, helping governments and enterprises achieve secure, resilient and forward-looking digital ecosystems. Cyber security is the backbone of these national visions—without trust, digital transformation cannot succeed.

In what ways are your solutions contributing to sustainable development, smart city infrastructure, or digital inclusion across the region?
Check Point solutions underpin smart city initiatives by protecting critical infrastructure, enabling secure cloud operations and facilitating digital inclusion. Our Hybrid Mesh Framework ensures cities and organizations can deploy technologies efficiently, securely and sustainably while maintaining the operational resilience needed to support innovation and public services. We’re not just enabling smart cities—we’re helping build safe and sustainable ones.

How are you supporting talent development, upskilling, or youth engagement in tech through your GITEX platform or beyond?
Through SecureAcademy, we provide certifications, training programs and hands-on labs for students and emerging professionals. At GITEX, attendees can interact directly with our experts, gaining practical experience in cyber security, AI-driven operations and Hybrid Mesh Frameworks. Our goal is to nurture the next generation of tech leaders in the region. Developing young talent today is the most strategic investment in securing tomorrow’s digital future.
