Security Hardening Assessment: Prepare for AI Transformation Without Increasing Risk
Check Point, Monday, August 31st, 2026
Check Point's Security Hardening Assessment finds gaps such as excessive permissions and misconfigurations before AI adoption amplifies them.
Check Point Services argues that AI adoption introduces new security considerations while also amplifying existing weaknesses such as excessive permissions, misconfigurations and poor data governance.
Without guardrails, those pre-existing gaps create broader exposure as AI systems gain access to more of the environment. The post describes the Security Hardening Assessment, a service engagement that identifies security gaps, validates existing controls and measures AI readiness. It is positioned as work to do before AI transformation rather than after an incident.
