Megazone Cloud, a Korean AI and cloud services company, announced on the 26th that it has partnered with global cybersecurity firm Check Point Software Technologies to build enterprise security optimized for AI and cloud-native environments.
Under the agreement, the two companies will pursue the following initiatives: △AI LLM model guardrails based on Check Point Software's Lakera platform, along with AI red team application security consulting, deployment and managed services △building a Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework across cloud infrastructure △designing customized security architectures and providing 24/7, 365-day monitoring services for clients.
Check Point Software's Lakera detects and responds in real time to data leaks and malicious inputs such as prompt injection that occur while AI services are running. It also offers an "AI Red Teaming" service that addresses the latest AI security incident trends. The service establishes a protective environment across the entire AI business process, from input validation and output filtering to detecting abnormal behavior by AI agents. The two companies plan to offer Lakera-based AI LLM model runtime security consulting, deployment and managed services in the Korean market.
Megazone Cloud will also build a CTEM framework by applying Check Point solutions across customers' complex cloud infrastructure. Through this, the company plans to identify IT asset vulnerabilities and leaked credential information exposed in AI transformation (AX) and digital transformation (DX) environments in real time, and apply automated security remediation processes.
Megazone Cloud's HALO unit, which oversees the company's security business, operates as a Managed Security Service Provider (MSSP) with cloud-specialized expertise. The unit plans to expand into AI-based security operations centers going forward. With the Check Point Software partnership enabling full-stack security services, Megazone Cloud plans to design customized security architectures for a wide range of Korean enterprises and provide real-time monitoring and advanced threat response services.
Check Point, a global cybersecurity leader founded in 1993, holds the No. 1 position in the global internet firewall market. Check Point Software plans to set up a booth at Megazone Cloud's conference "ICON 2026," to be held at the Grand Ballroom of InterContinental Seoul Parnas on the 2nd of next month, where it will showcase its AI and CTEM security capabilities and technologies to key Korean industry stakeholders.
"By establishing a cooperative framework with Check Point Software, which possesses full-stack solutions covering security including AI, we have significantly strengthened HALO's end-to-end security capabilities," said Wi Su-young, unit head at Megazone Cloud. "We will combine Check Point Software's leading AI security technology and CTEM solutions with HALO's specialized services to deliver the most advanced security environment to our clients."
Lim Hyun-ho, country manager of Check Point Software Korea, said, "This strategic partnership with Megazone Cloud, a leader in the cloud and AI transformation market, will serve as a critical bridgehead for delivering Check Point Software's innovative security technologies to more customers." He added, "We will contribute to enhancing the cyber resilience of Korean enterprises through close collaboration with HALO, particularly in Lakera-based AI security and CTEM."
