Cybersecurity management vendor Check Point is expanding its services for Security Operations Centre workers focusing on external riskss such as stolen employee credentials, social media impersonation, and fake websites. This builds on its acquisition last year of Cyberint, a startup specialising in threat intelligence, digital risk protection, and attack surface management.
