Cybersecurity company Check Point Software Technologies said on Tuesday it launched Agentic Exposure Validation for Exposure Management, or AEV, to help defenders respond on equal footing to AI-based attackers. The company said AEV uses AI agents that reason like attackers across an organisation’s environment, correlating exposure data, asset context, real-time exploit validation results, threat intelligence and protection coverage to determine whether exposed vulnerabilities can actually be exploited. It follows a verification loop rather than relying on static severity scores.
