Check Point earns CREST accreditation for penetration testing
Check Point Software Technologies has confirmed that its Infinity Global Services Penetration Testing team has been awarded CREST accreditation for penetration testing services.
The CREST accreditation recognises companies that adhere to strict standards relating to technical capability, ethical conduct and quality assurance within the field of penetration testing. This status indicates that Check Point's services meet international benchmarks for diligence and credibility, providing customers with an additional layer of assurance in an increasingly regulated cyber environment.
Check Point executives emphasise that the accreditation reflects both the company's methodology and ethical standards in offensive security. Eitan Lugassi, Vice President of Infinity Global Services at Check Point Software Technologies, stated,
"This accreditation reflects our dedication to delivering the highest level of security assurance to our customers. CREST certification is a globally recognised symbol of quality and integrity. It tells our customers that they can trust our penetration testing to deliver meaningful insights, follow best practices and support compliance with international standards."
Through CREST-accredited penetration testing, Check Point will now provide services designed to identify, assess and remedy vulnerabilities using proven methods and peer-reviewed processes. The accreditation process itself evaluates both organisational practices and technical proficiency to maintain high ethical and operational standards.
CREST, as a not-for-profit accreditation body, provides certifications only after comprehensive audits of technical strategy, ethical frameworks and quality management systems within participating organisations. For Check Point, achieving this recognition demonstrates the strength of its internal controls and the expertise of its testing teams.
Infinity Global Services, a cyber security division within Check Point, oversees a broad collection of cyber security offerings. The team consists of over 450 professionals who provide support and incident response services around the clock. By deploying real-time threat intelligence, Infinity Global Services enables clients to detect and mitigate cyber threats as they arise, and to respond rapidly to cyber incidents that affect business continuity.
According to Check Point, its CREST-accredited penetration testing encompasses several core offerings. These include expert-led testing that simulates real-world cyber attack scenarios, which are structured around CREST-approved methodologies to ensure review consistency and technical precision. Actionable reporting forms another component, with each assessment delivering prioritised recommendations that clients can integrate into their security posture.
The company also highlights the integration of testing programmes with up-to-date threat intelligence across sectors and regions. This is intended to foster ongoing improvement by adapting to evolving attack tactics and supporting large-scale IT environments. Check Point's service track record includes experience with millions of IT assets across various industries worldwide.
As regulatory pressures increase, especially around compliance and transparency, CREST certification offers organisations assurance that their chosen security partners meet stringent industry standards for ethical behaviour and technical depth. Check Point claims its accredited service provides enhanced transparency and professionalism, giving clients greater confidence in the assessments conducted on their infrastructure.
Key components of Check Point's accredited testing include the use of CREST-aligned methodologies, simulation of real-world attacks, recommendations prioritised for customer action, and integration of findings with threat intelligence for continual adaptation to the evolving threat landscape.
Check Point reiterates that the CREST accreditation underlines its commitment to providing reliable, rigorous, and globally validated penetration testing services for organisational cyber defence, recognising its capability in managing complex environments and its dedication to high-assurance security practices.
