Check Point Software Technologies has introduced a new automated threat intelligence platform in Singapore, designed to integrate offensive and defensive cybersecurity measures with full data residency in the country. The launch marks a significant move towards proactive, AI-driven protection for enterprises across the Asia Pacific region.
The new platform forms part of Check Point’s broader Proactive Security Strategy and includes real-time threat intelligence, Dark Web and vulnerability tracking, SaaS and email threat protection, and one-click remediation. All data is processed and hosted locally to improve speed, reduce risk, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards in Singapore.
Bridging the cybersecurity gap
As cyber threats continue to grow in complexity, traditional defence systems that rely solely on detection and manual response are proving insufficient. Email impersonation and phishing attacks powered by AI are becoming more common, resulting in significant financial losses and data breaches worldwide.
“In today’s threat landscape, organisations simply cannot afford to depend on reactive protection. You have to start building your cyber security now, for the threats of tomorrow,” said Rebecca Law, Country Manager, Singapore at Check Point Software Technologies.
Abhishek Kumar Singh, Head of Security Engineering at Check Point Singapore, explained that many businesses lack the tools to operationalise Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) across both offensive and defensive layers. “Proper cyber security hygiene today requires Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM). However, most organisations do not have the unified and right tools to operationalise CTEM effectively across the offensive and defensive layers,” he said.
Check Point’s new platform is one of the first to close this gap by delivering automation across the CTEM cycle. With local hosting, organisations benefit from faster detection and response times, improved application performance, and stronger data control—all without overloading already stretched IT security teams.
Built for resilience and compliance
The platform is designed to improve uptime, minimise disruption, and deliver real-time protection through edge-native processing. Local traffic handling helps reduce latency, while built-in redundancy ensures high availability and consistent performance.
It also supports regulatory compliance by ensuring all metadata and sensitive information remain within Singapore’s jurisdiction. This localised data strategy allows for stronger enforcement of policies and offers an extra layer of protection against data leakage.
“This locally-hosted platform is foundational to Zero Trust and Hybrid Mesh architectures, serving as secure, policy-enforcing entry points that enable fast, authenticated access across the Asia Pacific region,” said Law. “As the future evolves, AI-driven and edge-native platforms will deliver real-time threat detection, low-latency performance, and sustainable infrastructure tailored for modern, cloud-first enterprises.”
Features tailored to modern threats
The platform includes a wide range of AI-powered capabilities to detect and prevent threats across different vectors. It offers proactive email security features such as protection against Business Email Compromise (BEC), phishing, and support for DMARC management. For SaaS and generative AI tools, it enables discovery and monitoring of third-party apps and enforces best practices.
The hybrid mesh security component ensures threat prevention across cloud and on-premise environments, supported by a unified policy engine and automation tools. In addition, the platform includes external risk monitoring that covers the full digital attack surface, including the Dark Web, with tools for threat intelligence, remediation, and takedown requests.
Check Point also plans to open the platform for third-party integration in the future, to support wider security ecosystems without compromising the integrity of its proprietary technologies. “This is not just another product, but a shift in strategy,” added Law.
