Check Point Secures AI-Scale Traffic for Neoclouds, Sovereign AI and the Enterprise with New Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator

Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., a pioneer and global leader in cyber security solutions,  announced the next-generation Maestro Hyperscale Orchestrator (MHO) 200, helping neoclouds, telcos, governments and enterprises inspect fast-growing, largely encrypted AI traffic and other communications in the data centre without trading security for speed.

The launch is the next step in Check Point’s mission to redefine network security for the agentic era. Earlier this year, Check Point introduced the AI Network Firewall, bringing AI security directly into the firewall to inspect AI traffic, protect AI applications and govern AI agents. It followed with Agentic Network Security Orchestration, which moves network security operations from intent to automation, and AI Data Centre Security, which includes a collaboration with NVIDIA. Maestro now extends that protection to hyperscale, so organisations can secure AI traffic at the speed and volume AI infrastructure demands.

AI is reshaping the network. For neoclouds and enterprises modernising their data centres, both perimeter and east-west traffic are growing fast, and the need for constant uptime and resilience remains. A significant portion of this traffic is encrypted, and all of it needs inspection. Yet many organisations switch off advanced threat prevention to keep performance acceptable, or buy oversized appliances that leave capacity idle to absorb sudden spikes in throughput.

"AI is forcing a rethink of network capacity planning. Training, inference and agentic workloads are driving east-west traffic inside the data centre to levels most security architectures were not designed for, and much of it is encrypted," said Pete Finalle, Research Manager, Security and Trust at IDC. "Organisations should not have to choose between inspecting that traffic and keeping it moving. Security platforms that can scale threat prevention elastically, without overprovisioning hardware, will be essential for neoclouds, telcos and enterprises building AI infrastructure."

Maestro is a hyperscale firewall orchestrator built for flexibility. Unlike chassis solutions tied to dedicated hardware, it combines firewalls of different models and generations into one system that grows with demand. You can also split that system into up to eight independent security groups (policy domains), each with its own rules, with no trade-off in advanced threat prevention.

Enterprises modernising their data centres, neoclouds and GPU-as-a-service providers, colocation operators, telcos protecting their backbone and government bodies building sovereign AI infrastructure all need to support higher network throughput, and 400GbE is becoming the new standard for high-end data centres and AI factories.
