Strategic Acquisition of Veriti Boosts Check Point’s Automated Threat Management

Check Point (CHKP – Research Report), the Technology sector company, was revisited by a Wall Street analyst today. Analyst Shrenik Kothari from Robert W. Baird maintained a Buy rating on the stock and has a $255.00 price target.

Shrenik Kothari has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Check Point’s strategic acquisition of Veriti Cybersecurity. This acquisition aligns with the new CEO Nadav Zafrir’s strategy to enhance the company’s hybrid mesh architecture and accelerate automation across its platform. Veriti’s integration capabilities with over 70 vendors, including prominent names like Wiz and CRWD, provide Check Point with enhanced automated threat intelligence and risk management features.
Furthermore, the acquisition is expected to strengthen Check Point’s Threat Exposure and Risk Management suite by embedding Veriti’s API-based architecture. This move is seen as a proactive step in expanding Check Point’s External Risk Management portfolio and addressing the growing demand for real-time, automated remediation solutions. The acquisition reflects Check Point’s focus on improving cross-stack visibility and automated policy enforcement, which are increasingly valued by large enterprises dealing with fragmented security tools.
