WITH A COMPLEX IT backbone, Mumbai-based Kokilaben Hospital struggled with fragmented security tools, making threat detection and response time-consuming. Managing cyber security across multiple dashboards required hours of manual effort, leaving potential security gaps. By deploying Check Point's AI and ML-powered solutions, the hospital achieved real-time threat intelligence, automated vulnerability detection and a unified security platform. Kokilaben Hospital's security team can now swiftly detect, analyse and remediate threats from a single intuitive dashboard.

Similarly, Alkem Laboratories, operating 24/7 in a highly regulated environment, faced rising cyber threats and an overwhelming volume of phishing attacks, with over 50 daily reports of malicious emails. Here again, Check Point's AI-powered solutions helped the pharmaceutical giant with automated threat prevention, secure remote access, and real-time AI-driven threat intelligence. As a result, phishing reports have dropped from 50+ per day to zero, security management is streamlined, and Alkem's cyber defences are future-proofed.

Sundar Balasubramanian, MD, Check Point Software Technologies, India & South Asia, said, "AI adoption is no longer optional but a competitive necessity. However, enterprises must address critical concerns like security, compliance, and ethical AI usage. AI-driven automation can streamline operations, but without robust safeguards, it can also introduce new vulnerabilities."
