Keynotes

Topic	Speaker	Content	Description
The Collapse of Scarcity	Nadav Zafrir CEO, Check Point	Presentation	AI is redefining how organizations build, operate, and compete - and it is forcing a fundamental rethinking of security itself. In this opening keynote, we lay out a bold vision for the AI era: why security must evolve from isolated controls to a prevention‑first, platform‑driven foundation that enables innovation, resilience, and trust - so organizations can confidently secure what’s next.
Security at the Speed of AI: A Framework for What Comes Next	Jonathan Zanger CTO, Check Point Roi Karo Chief Strategy Officer, Check Point	Presentation	AI has crossed a threshold: it now finds and exploits vulnerabilities on its own, and the AI you adopt has become a target of its own. This session reframes security through three lenses for the AI era: defending from AI when it's the attacker's weapon, securing the AI you build and deploy for your business, and using AI with your teams to defend without handing over the keys. Attendees will walk away with clear, prescriptive steps to revalidate their defenses against AI-speed threats, adopt AI without widening their attack surface, and turn AI into a force multiplier for their security teams.
The Frontier AI Shift: AI-Driven Security for the Next Era	Lotem Finkelstein VP, Research, Check Point	Presentation	As Frontier AI models rapidly evolve, the cybersecurity industry is approaching a fundamental shift: systems that can reason about products, infer weaknesses, and autonomously navigate complex environments with minimal context. In this session, Lotem Finkelstein, VP Research explores what this new reality means for defenders. Through a live demonstration and insights from our Frontier AI Models Readiness Program, we examine how emerging AI capabilities may transform vulnerability research, product security, and offensive sophistication. The future of AI-powered security is no longer theoretical — and readiness starts now.
Why Security Leaders Choose Check Point to Secure Their AI Transformation	Moti Sagey Chief Evangelist, Check Point	Presentation	As organizations accelerate AI adoption, security leaders face a critical challenge: enabling innovation while maintaining strong cyber resilience. What drives their platform decisions in this new era? Drawing on insights from more than 1,000 customer engagements and competitive win analyses, this session reveals the key factors that consistently lead organizations to select Check Point over alternative security vendors. Discover why customers cite superior security efficacy, operational efficiency, and a future-ready architecture as the three most important differentiators for securing AI-driven transformation. Join Moti Sagey, Check Point’s Chief Evangelist, as he shares real-world perspectives on how leading enterprises are simplifying security operations, improving protection against evolving threats, and building a security foundation designed to support the next generation of AI-powered business innovation.
Securing Enterprise AI	Avi Rembaum, President, Technical Sales	Presentation	AI workloads break assumptions baked into traditional data center security. Model weights are high-value assets that move across the environment; training pipelines expose integrity attacks that target valuable IP; retrieval functions open external connections that widen the attack surface; inference creates new avenues for abuse and exfiltration. This session walks through a reference architecture for defending each layer—how to segment and protect artifacts, where Zero Trust principles actually attach across infrastructure boundaries (GPU, pipeline, API) and interaction boundaries (prompt, agent, and human-in-the-loop), and which controls hold up under production performance constraints. Attendees will leave with a concrete control map they can compare against their own AI environments
Building Resilience in the Age of Mythos	Alex Spokoiny Chief Security & Trust Officer, Check Point	Presentation	What happens when attackers are no longer constrained by human speed, and AI systems begin operating like autonomous zero-day factories? In this keynote, Alex Spokoiny takes the audience inside the moment Check Point realized AI-driven cyber security had fundamentally changed. Through real stories and practical lessons, he shares how security teams adapted their defenses, transformed SOC operations, accelerated vulnerability management, and rebuilt cyber resilience for a world where AI systems continuously discover and exploit weaknesses at scale. This is not just a story about new threats. It is a story about how defenders can become dramatically stronger in the AI era.
