New Check Point Report Warns of Critical Cloud Security Gaps Amid Rising AI Adoption
India, May 28 : Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. , a pioneer and global leader of cyber security solutions, today released its 2026 Cloud Security Report: Enter the AI Era, revealing a growing disconnect between rapid AI adoption and security readiness.
The report reveals a critical shift from the cloud “blind spots” of 2025 to a deeper challenge in 2026: organizations are no longer just struggling with visibility, but with governance, control, and real-time enforcement. AI is changing how users behave, how applications communicate, and where threats enter the environment. This year, 77% of organizations have updated their security strategy for cloud in response to AI, yet only 26% report having the architecture to enforce it. This reveals a 51-point gap between intent and capability.
Meanwhile, attackers are weaponizing AI tools to accelerate phishing, generate malware, and launch adversarial attacks faster than traditional security models can respond. The impact is already measurable: 78% of organizations reported confirmed or suspected AI-related security incidents over the past year.
“The 2026 Cloud Security Report confirms what many security practitioners already sense,” said Paul Barbosa, Vice President of Cloud Security and SASE at Check Point Software Technologies. “AI adoption has outpaced the architecture built to govern it. Agents are acting inside live systems; data is moving through external AI services, and most enterprises still lack the visibility and enforcement to keep pace. At Check Point, we believe security has to be built into the architecture from the start. Beginning at the infrastructure layer, through clouds, and especially at runtime. Visibility, Control, and Security need to be present at all layers in the stack AI workloads will operate in. “
Key findings for cloud-native environments include:
·Infrastructure Misalignment: 52% of AI workloads span hybrid environments, yet 64% say their architecture needs redesign
·Perimeter Gaps: 76% rate datacenter security as critical for AI, but only 35% say it can support current needs
·Performance Challenges: Only 24% can fully inspect AI traffic without impacting performance; 71% report increased WAF false positives
·Operational Complexity: 88% say AI has increased security complexity; 67% report fragmented policies
·Limited Visibility: 54% of organizations have experienced an AI-related security incident, while another 24% cannot confirm due to lack of visibility. This means more than three-quarters have either been hit or cannot determine whether they have
·Identity Risks: 48% cite non-human identities (AI agents, APIs) as a top concern
·Inconsistent access model: Organizations have yet to converge on a single access model. 24% say they have no AI-specific access controls, and only 16% enforce controls consistently across the environment
Closing the AI Security Gap
To address these challenges, the report emphasizes the need for a unified, prevention-first architecture across cloud, datacenter, SaaS, and endpoints.
Check Point’s Hybrid Mesh Network Security approach delivers:
1.Unified Management: 86% of leaders rate unified security management across cloud, datacenter, and edge as critical for AI workloads. A hybrid mesh architecture keeps policies and protections consistent everywhere, no matter where data or workloads run
2.Prevention-First Security: Real-time blocking of ransomware, zero-day threats, and data leaks using AI-driven insights, validated by a 99.8% security effectiveness score in the 2026 Miercom report
3.Secure Connectivity and Threat Prevention: Identity-based protection ensures every user, device, and application is verified and protected in real time, with consistent security across all access points and without impacting performance
4.AI Defense Plane: A unified control plane governing how AI is connected, deployed, and operated, with runtime protection across employee AI use, applications, and agentic systems
5.Agentic Network Security Orchestration: The 51-point enforcement gap is more than a visibility problem; it’s also an operational one. Check Point’s newly launched Agentic Network Security Orchestration Platform shifts security teams to the level of business intent, letting AI agents autonomously handle policy creation, Zero Trust tightening, and compliance across hybrid environments

Omdia: AI Factory market enters industrialization era as five dynamics redefine AI infrastructure in 2026
LONDON, May 28, 2026: Cumulative global data center investment is forecast to approach $1.6 trillion by 2030, while leading technology enterprises will collectively deploy over $600 billion in AI infrastructure capex in 2026 alone. This capital expenditure indicates that the AI Factory market has crossed an irreversible threshold, evolving into a new form of industrial organization characterized by ultra-high capital intensity, strong geopolitical attributes, and complex engineering barriers.
The Transition to AI Factory: Architecture and Paradigms
Omdia defines an AI Factory as a new type of heavy industrial infrastructure whose sole objective is producing intelligence, with the token as the fundamental unit of output. data centers are transitioning from business support centers to digital product manufacturing centers no matter how big the data center is, organized along a four-layer architecture: energy and physical infrastructure; hardware and network fabric; scheduling and virtualization orchestration; and Model as a Service (MaaS) and AI application ecosystem.
The ecosystem now spans four solution paradigms—full-stack public AI cloud hyperscalers, compute-native AI cloud specialists, turnkey private AI foundation providers, and regional or industrial AI infrastructure operators. Omdia’s survey of more than 200 companies identifies four top market challenges: long time-to-market and ROI validation, digital sovereignty, AI talent gaps, and systemic engineering complexity.
Five Market Dynamics Shaping AI Factory in 2026
As the market navigates these challenges, Omdia has identified five primary dynamics reshaping the industry this year:
- Dynamic 1 — From FLOPS to TTFT: Budgets for compute hoarding have been frozen as enterprises confront a “Zombie GPU” effect, in which expensive GPUs idle in I/O wait; evaluation metrics are shifting to Time-to-First-Token and vector retrieval speed, with reported gains, including a 12x vector indexing speed-up and up to a 75% cost reduction on API and compute redundancy in vendor case studies.
- Dynamic 2 — Hyperscalers balance agility and sovereignty: Two delivery paradigms: one is called full-stack drop-in (AWS, Huawei, GCP, OCI) enable public cloud-grade AI capabilities deployed as an integrated physical unit into the customer’s data center; another one is called software/hardware decoupling which is a downward path defined by localization of software capabilities and ecosystem-driven hardware
- Dynamic 3 — Compute-native AI cloud upgrade: Rack power density has risen from 10–15 kW in 2024 to 40–250 kW in 2026, while workloads progress from PoC to production-grade deployment; Nebius from Europe and Sensetime from China are two typical players already changed their business model from Bare Metal leasing to Model as a Service, especially Sensetime is conducting an integrated framework of IaaS + MaaS + energy-computing synergy strategy to make the computing and energy well controlled
- Dynamic 4 — The “last mile” of AI industrialization: Vertical integrators, domain operators, and ISVs are capturing the final value layer through long-cycle data governance, legacy integration, and scenario-specific agent assembly, while Inspur Cloud takes a strategy integrated heavy-asset AI infrastructure and intensive scenario-grade operation of AI industrial assembly lines making the AI industrialization a great leap.
- Dynamic 5 — Rise of sovereign data factories: Regulatory frameworks such as the EU AI Act, DORA, and equivalent compliance frameworks are driving requirements for sensitive data to remain within physically isolated facilities, elevating regional operators such as G42 from cabinet landlords to physical gatekeepers of national-level data.
“Future competition will no longer be defined by model parameters or GPU counts, but by a comprehensive contest of energy, liquid cooling, chips, autonomous software stacks, sovereign compliance, and long-term capital endurance,” said Raymond Zhan, Senior Principal Analyst, Cloud & AI at Omdia. ” For enterprise clients, the provider landscape for AI factory is not a one-size-fits-all game; choices should be tailored to actual business scale and the balance between steady-state and innovative workloads.”
Looking ahead, Omdia expects 2026 and 2027 to be the critical window for AI Factory development, with regional and industrial operations emerging as the highest-certainty growth segment over the next five years.
Omdia’s Global AI Factory Market Landscape 2026 report provides a comprehensive analysis of the AI Factory market, including detailed architectural frameworks, solution paradigms, and insights into the key dynamics shaping AI infrastructure.

Indriya, Aditya Birla Jewellery unveils ‘Madhuragini’: A celebration of the sacred stories of Lord Ram-Sita’s wedding, told in Madhubani art
Bengaluru, May 28 : Indriya, Aditya Birla Jewellery, invites every woman to be the bride of her dreams with the launch of their latest bridal collection Madhuragini. Drawing from the sacred traditions of the land of Mithila, the collection is a celebration of Madhubani art, which was first crafted as part of the grand celebrations for the wedding of Lord Ram and Sita. This ancient visual language, rich with symbolism of divine union, transition of a woman, and spiritual protection, is meticulously translated into our pieces through fine craftsmanship, ensuring every motif carries the weight of heritage and the grace of a blessing.
This masterpiece is crafted in 22kt gold, inspired by the Madhubani art form that has long defined the essence of weddings in Bihar. Complementing this is a thoughtfully curated, accessible range including necklace sets, earrings, rings, maang tikkas, naths, and mangalsutra dolnas. Crafted across price ranges, these pieces are designed to accompany every bridal trousseau, from ceremony to celebration.
Madhuragini unfolds in two exquisite layers, each capturing a moment in the journey of love and togetherness.
The first layer of the masterpiece, the Samyukta Haar, a divine choker, captures the grandeur of the wedding as it unfolds like a sacred procession in gold. At its centre, the Dulha and Dulhan stand in harmony, symbols of balance and union, accompanied by the graceful Mor and surrounded by Baratiyaan that echo the vibrant spirit of a traditional Bihari ceremony. Sacred elements such as the Shankh mark auspicious beginnings, while delicate jaal work binds the composition in a story of interconnectedness, anchored by the Tree of Life – a timeless emblem of lineage, continuity, and generational blessing. The presence of Palash, the Flame of the Forest, brings with it vitality, renewal, and the spirit of celebration, emerging as a quiet metaphor for marriage itself—two lives coming together in shared warmth and harmony. The narrative gently culminates in the Nrityangana, a dancing form that embodies grace, transition, and the celebration of womanhood – reflecting not an end, but a becoming, where a new chapter unfolds and her divine feminine energy is honoured in its fullest expression.
The second layer, the Sita Haar, draws from the sacred Kohbar Ghar, which is the chamber of union where new beginnings take root. Capturing the emotional essence of togetherness and abundance, the motifs of this layer settle upon the bride like a blessing. The Latpatiya Sugga speaks of love and companionship; the Maach Raas reflects fertility, harmony, and abundance, while the Shankh carries the resonance of auspiciousness and protection. This layer celebrates the sacred bond of marriage through traditional pairs of Shankh (Conch), Maach Raas (Fish), and Latpatiya Sugga (Parrots). Together, these motifs glimmer with a story of togetherness, continuity, and shared destiny.
Sandeep Kohli, CEO, Indriya, said,
“At Indriya, we believe in bridal jewellery being deeply personal. Madhuragini is an ode to Bihar’s rich artistic legacy and thoughtfully designed brides who remain rooted to their heritage. Playing to contemporary sensibilities, the collection’s strong center piece and supplementary pret pieces; crafted into 22K gold add to the relevance and traditional appeal to consumers, who have a willingness to invest in gold jewellery, especially keeping in mind its purity, quality and design.”
Shantiswarup Panda, Head of Marketing & Visual Merchandizing, Indriya, added,
“Weddings are a crowning moment in a bride’s journey, and the jewellery she chooses becomes an enduring investment in that defining milestone. With ‘Be the Bride of your Dreams’ our ambition is to carry on rich local heritage for contemporary brides. In Bihar, families and brides remain rooted in local culture and heritage, where every ritual carries deep meaning. With Madhuragini, we draw from the highly regarded Madhubani art, which takes from the celestial union of Lord Ram and Sita; as it stands as one of the most enduring symbols of love and sanctity in India. The collection honours this legacy through modern storytelling and design, allowing brides to connect with their roots in a way that feels both deeply personal and timeless.”
Abhishek Rastogi, Head of Design, Indriya, further added that “Weddings in India are a profound expression of culture, and in Mithila, they begin with art that blesses the union itself. Designing Madhuragini was about translating the intricate storytelling of Madhubani art into fine jewellery. From the sacred Kohbar Ghar murals painted within the marital chamber to the graceful Dulha-Dulhan surrounded by the Baratiyaan, alongside traditional Jodis of Latpatiya Sugga (intertwined parrots), Joda Mor (twin peacocks), Maachh-Raas (dance of the fish), and divine floral motifs like Palash, iconic elements of Madhubani art have been thoughtfully woven and reinterpreted to preserve their symbolism while embracing a refined contemporary aesthetic. The craftsmanship lies in balancing detail with wearability, as it is woven not painted, to create pieces that are not just visually striking but also emotionally resonant for the bride.
Indriya’s regional bridal collections extend this tribute to the diverse cultural tapestries of Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan, alongside a divine collection of South Temple Jewellery. These pieces are meticulously crafted for the woman who seeks to be the bride of her dreams, honoring her sacred heritage on her most important day. Whether through the regal motifs of the West or the spiritual grace of the South, Indriya ensures every bride wears a masterpiece that resonates with her heritage and makes her heart whisper— dil abhi bhara nahi.
