Overview Generative AI, AI apps, and agents now move through the network largely unseen. Traditional inspection cannot understand prompts, control agent-to-agent requests, or control AI usage across the business.

R82.20 closes that gap.

R82.20 introduces the industry’s first AI Network Firewall, bringing AI security to the network level through the Check Point firewall organizations already use. Customers gain visibility, governance, and control over AI activity across users, tools, and agents to protect sensitive data and prevent threats.

R82.20 Firewall Software for the AI Era

R82.20 also extends central policy management to Check Point SASE and SD-WAN, enabling dynamic Zero Trust enforcement across IT, OT, and microsegmentation tools.

It also simplifies operations with easier setup, faster upgrades, prevention-first security, and runtime monitoring.

AI Network Firewall Inspect prompts,

protect apps, govern agents— from the firewall you

already run.

Agentic Management One console for on-premises

and cloud firewalls, AWS Network Firewall,

SD-WAN, and SASE.

Operational Simplicity Upgrade faster, maximize

uptime, and eliminate CLI dependency.

AI Security Embedded in the Firewall The network is where AI activity converges. Every prompt, file upload, and agent interaction traverses the network—giving security teams a central point to see, inspect, and control AI traffic in real time. R82.20 turns that vantage point into enforcement.

Secure Generative AI Use Firewall-level inspection Analyzes prompts, files, and intent in real time, enabling safe AI adoption by employees. Data protection Full visibility and audit trails for all employee GenAI activity across applications such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Governance and compliance Enforce governance policies and meet regulatory requirements for GenAI use directly from the firewall.

Protect AI-Driven Applications Novel attack detection Detects new techniques targeting AI application interfaces and model endpoints in real time. Inline runtime security Blocks prompt injection, data exfiltration, adversarial queries, and API abuse at the network layer. Zero architectural changes No model retraining required. Protection runs at the network layer and integrates into your existing deployment.

Protect AI Agents Agent activity visibility See which tools agents invoke, by whom, and with what intent—across all agentic workflows. Granular policy enforcement Control agent access and govern agentic workflows across every interaction. MCP server discovery Automatically discover MCP servers operating across the environment, with no manual inventory required.

AI Defense Plane Integration R82.20 is part of Check Point’s AI Defense Plane—unifying network-level and host-level AI security across the enterprise. This includes the AI Factory Firewall, which runs natively on NVIDIA BlueField DPUs, delivering security without impacting GPU performance.

Unified, Agentic Management Managing fragmented security environments costs time, introduces inconsistency, and leaves gaps attackers can exploit.

R82.20 extends Check Point’s Agentic Network Security Orchestration Platform further across the hybrid environment—with one policy layer, intelligent automation, and open ecosystem integrations.

Unified Management Manage on-premises

firewalls, cloud firewalls, AWS Network Firewall,

SD-WAN, and SASE from a single agentic console

with consistent policy and enforcement.

Unified audit trail A single, continuous audit trail across all environments—from

the data center to multi-cloud and

branch offices.

Open-platform integrations

Keep Zero Trust policy aligned with the real-time state of the environment

by integrating with microsegmentation tools

such as Illumio and Akamai, OT/IT platforms such as

ServiceNow, and live asset, user, and device context.

From business intent to enforced policy— across every firewall, network, and environment.

Simplicity at Scale Infrastructure keeps growing—on-premises, cloud, SD-WAN, SASE—but fragmented management can’t scale prevention-first security with zero tolerance for downtime. R82.20 simplifies upgrades, improves availability, and gives teams console-based control at scale.

Upgrade with Less Disruption Benefit: Reduce maintenance impact with background management upgrades and parallel preparation. • Background upgrades cut downtime to minutes rather than hours. • Parallel preparation runs alongside live operations, without forced maintenance windows.

Maximize Uptime and Availability Benefit: Keep high-availability clusters healthier with continuous monitoring and proactive alerts. • Continuous cluster monitoring surfaces health issues before they become incidents. • Proactive alerting and remediation reduce the risk of unplanned outages.

Eliminate CLI Dependency Benefit: Move advanced configuration into the console to simplify daily operations and reduce reliance on CLI expertise. • Console-first configuration makes thousands of advanced settings accessible

from the Gaia portal. • Persistent settings and audit trails preserve changes across reboots and upgrades. • Faster onboarding helps teams operate without deep CLI dependency.
