Check Point, Google Cloud Integrate AI Defense for Securing AI Agents
Check Point Software Technologies Ltd, a pioneer and global leader of cyber security solutions, today announced that it will serve as a launch partner with Google Cloud to integrate Check Point’s AI Defense Plane with Google Cloud’s Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform. The integration will combine centralized agent control with contextual intelligence and real-time behavioral protection to deliver comprehensive security for enterprises deploying AI agents at scale.

As enterprise AI moves beyond chat assistants to autonomous agents that invoke tools, query data, and execute workflows, traditional security controls are insufficient, and security is no longer just about who has access, but what AI is allowed to do. Organizations need guardrails at the point where AI risk becomes real: runtime, in production, across live agent interactions.
“The emerging architecture for agentic security requires three layers: a control plane for identity and connectivity, a governance layer for policy enforcement, and a runtime intelligence layer for behavioral protection,” said David Haber, VP of AI Security at Check Point Software Technologies. “Google Cloud’s Enterprise Agent Platform provides the control plane. Check Point adds the other two. We govern which agents, tools, and connections are allowed, and we inspect every action at runtime to determine whether it should proceed because in agentic systems, access alone doesn’t guarantee the right outcome.”

This integration will deliver three layers of agent security:
- Full Visibility into Agent Estate: automatically inventories all agents deployed across Google Cloud environments, including their components, tools, and Google Cloud Model Context Protocol (MCP) server connections
- Enforce Controls Before Deployment enables security teams to define and enforce policies: allow and deny lists for MCP servers, tools, and skills; agent posture policies that flag or block risky configurations; and centralized policy management across the entire agent estate
- Runtime Guardrails in Production adds real-time, context-aware protection in line with Agent Gateway. This includes detection and blocking of prompt injection attacks across agent inputs, tool responses, and multi-turn conversations; prevention of sensitive data leakage through agent responses and tool actions; and screening of agent tool calls before execution
“Google Cloud is committed to providing the industry’s most open cloud and helping customers accelerate their digital transformations,” said Vineet Bhan, director of security and identity partnerships, Google Cloud. “Through this new partnership, Check Point will use Google Cloud’s infrastructure to power new capabilities that can improve operations and create real-world value for businesses.”
