Check Point Software Technologies has announced a partnership with Cardano to deliver a comprehensive real-time security solution within the blockchain industry.

The collaboration between the cyber security firm and the public cryptocurrency platform Cardano aims to address growing security demands in the blockchain and Web3 sectors. The increasing penetration of blockchain technology across industries has been coupled with rising security threats. Notably, a prominent hacking incident involving Bybit resulted in a loss of USD $1.5 billion, underscoring the industry's vulnerability.

According to the Chainalysis 2025 Crypto Crime Report, cybercriminal activities led to the theft of over USD $2.2 billion from blockchain-based projects in 2024, reflecting a 21% increase from the previous year. This issue, alongside a recorded USD $70 billion investment in cryptocurrency markets from institutional investors in 2024, has highlighted the pressing need for improved security measures.

To tackle these concerns, Cardano is integrating Check Point's real-time security solutions into its blockchain infrastructure. This initiative, supported by Project Catalyst funding, has gained strong backing from the Cardano community. Check Point's real-time security capabilities promise to enhance the security of smart contracts, digital assets and user transactions within the Cardano ecosystem.

Check Point's extensive security framework is designed to provide extensive monitoring and preemptive defence against emerging cyber threats. Real-time threat intelligence is leveraged to detect and counteract attacks, ensuring the protection of assets and data within the Cardano network.

The security measures offered by Check Point include real-time threat intelligence and AI-powered anomaly detection, designed to identify suspicious activity and potential vulnerabilities. Moreover, on-chain and off-chain protection secures blockchain transactions and related digital assets such as wallets and decentralised applications. Automated response mechanisms form an essential part of the system, preventing unauthorised access and fraud in real-time.

Dan Danay, Head of Web3 at Check Point Software Technologies, commented on the collaboration, saying, "The collaboration between Check Point and Cardano is poised to drive widespread adoption of blockchain technology by addressing the most significant barrier to entry: security. By providing a comprehensive, real-time security solution, we aim to instil confidence in institutional players and large-scale enterprises, encouraging them to build and innovate on the Cardano network."

Kriss Baird, General Manager for Cardano's Catalyst, added, "The partnership between Check Point and Cardano represents a significant step forward in the quest for a secure and resilient Web3 ecosystem. As we work together to develop and implement innovative security solutions, we can look forward to a more robust and secure blockchain in the future."

By setting a new industry standard for blockchain security, Check Point and Cardano are paving the way for an environment where businesses can integrate and expand their blockchain utilisation more confidently. The ongoing evolution of blockchain technology necessitates such real-time security solutions, which are expected to support a safer and more scalable future for Web3 technologies.
