Check Point: Hackers are already in. Act accordingly
What happened
Check Point reports attackers are already using agentic AI to run autonomous exploitation workflows that let them cherry-pick victims and execute long command chains with minimal human input. The vendor records a collapse in vulnerability windows from days to hours and a rise in long, malicious prompt-injection payloads, which makes many compromises multi-stage rather than single-day events. Watch whether telemetry collection and supplier forensic cooperation keep pace with attack speed and whether detections translate into actionable incident handovers
Why the category manager should care
Treat Check Point’s field observations as operationally real and require enforceable telemetry and evidence-handover rights in supplier contracts
Key facts
- Reported collapse in vulnerability windows from days to hours
- Marked increase in long, malicious prompt-injection payload detections
