This prestigious recognition highlights Check Point’s innovation in securing and protecting public blockchains from emerging cyber threats.

“At Check Point, innovation isn’t just about keeping up — it’s about staying ahead,” said Roi Karo, Chief Strategy Officer at Check Point. “Just as Check Point’s original Firewall-1 secured the early internet, our blockchain solution protects the decentralized future, offering enterprise-grade, compliance-ready security for a safer blockchain ecosystem. We’re proud that Fast Company recognizes our mission to bring real-time threat detection and prevention to the blockchain, ensuring trust, transparency, and safety across the decentralized world.”

This innovation marks a fundamental shift from reactive threat detection to proactive, in-chain prevention, protecting users, digital assets, and infrastructure before cyber attacks can occur. Check Point’s solution combines bold thinking with deep technical commitment to adapt enterprise-grade protection to decentralized ecosystems.
