Israeli company Check Point, one of the world's largest developers of cybersecurity solutions, may leave the Russian market. According to industry sources, the manufacturer does not intend to renew one of the FSTEC certificates, which expires in 2027. Check Point remains the only foreign company among the top ten players in the Russian information security market by the end of 2025.
After the departure of other foreign developers, Check Point continued to operate in Russia through RusPoint (Rusplatform), a company reportedly associated with it, offering solutions for protecting corporate and government networks. However, without the necessary certification, further sales and equipment updates may be in question.
At the same time, RusPoint retains two perpetual FSTEC licenses, and the certificate for the R81.20 firewall is valid until August 2030. The problem is that new versions of products may require additional permits, which, according to sources, the company does not plan to obtain.
RusPoint itself denies reports of a possible cessation of operations.
The company's products and competencies are in demand in the Russian information security market, and therefore, there are no grounds for freezing development or curtailing activities.
In 2025, Check Point's Russian division generated 394.5 million rubles in revenue, and RusPoint generated 63.4 million rubles. There is no official confirmation of the Israeli developer's departure yet, but a possible refusal to renew certificates could complicate further work with Russian customers.
