Harden Now: Preparing Check Point Gateways & Management for AI‑Driven Threats like Mythos

Aviv_Abramovich — Tue, 05 May 2026 09:31:25 GMT

AI-driven developments like Mythos are set to significantly accelerate the exploitation of un‑hardened deployments, with increased focus on control planes, administrative access, and trust relationships.

For Check Point environments, this puts immediate emphasis on hardening management and gateways. As frontline enforcement points, ensuring they are hardened to the maximum should be a priority now.

We created a hardening document providing actionable guidance to help reduce attack surface and strengthen resilience as these threats evolve.

Even without the threat of Mythos, these are good best practices to follow.
