Company lifts profit outlook as AI-driven cyber threats surge

Check Point Software Technologies beat fourth-quarter profit expectations on Thursday and said surging demand for protection against AI-driven cyber threats would help lift ‌its 2026 ⁠revenue ⁠close to $3 billion.

Companies are expected to spend more on cybersecurity due to concerns that AI will equip hackers with new and more sophisticated ways to attack networks and disrupt businesses.

CEO Nadav Zafrir told reporters: “We’re seeing new attack vectors and new capabilities every day … creating vulnerabilities and threats that are really unprecedented.”

“Corporate infrastructure is now vulnerable because the very nature of attacks is changing. AI is embedded everywhere.”

The Israeli-based network ⁠security company ‌reported $3.40 per diluted share, excluding one-off items, for the October-December quarter, up 26% from $2.70 a year earlier. Revenue grew 6% to $745 million. The results ⁠reflect a charge of $8 million from foreign exchange effects.

Analysts were expecting $2.77 a share on revenue of $746 million, according to LSEG data.

On Wednesday, rival Palo Alto Networks completed its $25 billion purchase of CyberArk to bolster its business in the AI era and said it would dual-list in Tel Aviv.

Asked whether Check Point would follow suit, Zafrir suggested the firm would continue to solely trade ‌on Nasdaq.

“We have our IP here, we have our R&D here, we have our management here, and we pay taxes here” in Israel, he said.

In 2025, revenue ⁠grew 6% to $2.73 billion – in line with expectations – while adjusted earnings per share rose 30% to $11.89, above the consensus estimate of $11.28.

For 2026, Check Point sees revenue of $2.83-$2.95 billion and adjusted earnings per share of $10.05-$10.85, compared with expectations of $2.89 billion in revenue and $10.46 of EPS in an LSEG poll of analysts. In the first quarter, it projects revenue of $655-$685 million and adjusted EPS of $2.35-$2.45.

Check Point said it bought back about 2.2 million of its shares for $425 million in the fourth quarter.

What is Firewall? A Firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. At its most basic, a firewall is essentially the barrier that sits between a private internal network and the public Internet.

 

Secure your network at the gateway against threats such as intrusions, Viruses, Spyware, Worms, Trojans, Adware, Keyloggers, Malicious Mobile Code (MMC), and other dangerous applications for total protection in a convenient, affordable subscription-based service. Modern threats like web-based malware attacks, targeted attacks, application-layer attacks, and more have had a significantly negative effect on the threat landscape. In fact, more than 80% of all new malware and intrusion attempts are exploiting weaknesses in applications, as opposed to weaknesses in networking components and services. Stateful firewalls with simple packet filtering capabilities were efficient blocking unwanted applications as most applications met the port-protocol expectations. Administrators could promptly prevent an unsafe application from being accessed by users by blocking the associated ports and protocols.
