Is ChatGPT part of the AI in Check Point ML or is different platform or Check Point has its own propriertary solution?

Most of the architecture is propriertary and LLM usage is an external foundation model e.g. OpenAI.

How AI is enforcing Check Point Technologies to analyze, detect and block malware in encrypted packets?

We are already using AI technologies in ThreatCloud for this and other purposes. These show up in AntiBot and AntiVirus in particular and, in the future, IPS protections. 

Sounds like we are moving from local to the cloud and now again back to local because the intellectual-property data generated. is this how things looks now?

You’re seeing the trend correctly, and it’s been the case (specifically with adoption of Cloud) before AI became part of the mainstream discussion.

Any time that we can have access to the demo to help you to test it ? 🙂

What was shown in the demos were proof of concept. Once they are more developed and productized (expected in the coming months), we will engage with customers. 

Will there will be a more focus on DLP blades to prevent the IP (sensitive data) leakage to external Ai engines as well?

We already have AI applications available in Application Control and URL Filtering, in case you want to block any.

Would this AI be smarter than the actual threat cloud event detection?

Note that some of our existing prevention technology includes the use of AI. We are continuing to enhance this with more data sources that are leveraged in near real time, i.e. "world knowledge."

I appreciate this is roadmap, but is it fair to assume that any actions or policy changes performed by AI engines will be audit logged and reported on Security Gateways and Management servers?

You also should be able to implement change management approval with it, as with any “human” admin actions

Is this going to be an additional charge or license?

As the features/products in question are still under development, we do not have any information about pricing. It will ultimately depend on the AI technologies used, as AI as a service offerings like what OpenAI provides have costs associated with them. 

There is a timeline on the roadmaps on all these projects?

Within the next year or so, as stated in the presentation. More information will likely be provided at the upcoming CPX 360 2024 conferences.

Any plans to add GenAI for asking Secure Knowledge questions on the Support Center?

Yes, and we are also planning to incorporate this into CheckMates as well. Stay tuned!
