Check Point CEO Gil Shwed has announced his intention to step down from his role after 30 years at the helm of the cybersecurity vendor.
Co-founded in 1993 by Shwed and Marius Nacht and Shlomo Kramer - who are no longer with the company - Check Point's initial technology was built on the concept of stateful inspection.
This became the foundation for the company's first core product, FireWall-1.
Check Point rolled out its software blade architecture in 2009, and executed a series of acquisitions including security service edge vendor Perimeter 81 in 2023.
