Hi Mike Matchett Small World Big Data. We are here at RSAC 2025. Lots and lots of people here. Lots and lots of cybersecurity goodness going on. Lot of excitement. I 'm with Check Point software and they are excited. So we're going to get right into it and ask first of all what what role does Check Point play in in cybersecurity regime. We're in the middle of it all. We started the whole everybody here is because we started this business. We started the firewall business over 30 years ago with our CEO, and we've maintained some market share. And now we've got some leading products that are addressing some of the biggest risks that companies around the world are seeing. You know, we just saw, you know, you were just interviewing our partner there, Verizon. They just released their breach report. Email is still the number one threat vector. And we have the number one product. We're also seeing web application security attacks. We're still seeing firewall attacks. And we have the highest efficacy tools out there. Check Points number one in efficacy. We also it's kind of a fun place to be. We don't have vulnerabilities. Our product doesn't have what other security vendors are going through with the patching regimen and the the nightmare of having your firewall exploited by the bad guys. We don't have that kind of a problem. Why don't you have any vulnerabilities? Well, it's really the Israeli development life cycle. They're it's so they're so paranoid. They're so security conscious. Everybody goes through the military. It's built into their DNA. We're kind of lazy. You know, Americans are security. Israelis take security extremely serious. And the world that uses Check Point gets that benefit. Let me look around the show here and think about the big trends that we're seeing. What what do you call out so far about this year's RSAC and what everyone's talking about, and then what you guys are bringing to the table? Sure. So, of course, I got to say artificial intelligence. I got to say it. I hate to say it, but. So we're seeing two things. We're seeing you have to fight. Artificial intelligence created threats with a bigger gun. I like to say you need to bring a bigger AI gun to the AI gunfight. So your LLM is extra LLM? Well, it's extra strong. So we don't we don't we have our own LLM, which is really kind of cool. We've got copilot. You can talk to your firewall. It'll tell you what you need to fix and whatnot. But the threats we're seeing, we just released our new AI threat report, which has got some quite unique findings in it, where the criminals are using llms that don't have guardrails, they don't have watermarks. So whether it be a deepfake video, a deepfake voice profile creation, code creation, all these kind of threats that are unique and faster moving, our AI threat powered threat Cloud sees it and we have the largest threat cloud in the in the business. But what's unique about ours is we have the countermeasures devised in about 2 or 3 seconds and then distributed out to our entire environment. So we have the countermeasures in place in seconds for these newest threats. Awesome, awesome. Um, if someone wants to I mean, obviously, there's a lot to know about Check Point. Uh, what would you say should be their first step in getting more acquainted with what you guys do? If they don't really know? You know, you can go to the website, but websites or websites, the best thing you can do is, is call somebody at Check Point there. We've got local reps everywhere.
