Check Point Software Earns 2026 Technology Innovation Leadership Recognition for Prevention‑first WAF and API Security

Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd, a pioneer and global leader of cyber security solutions, today announced it has been honored with Frost & Sullivan’s 2026 Technology Innovation Leadership recognition for its advancements in web application and API protection (WAAP).
