Part of the Infinity Global Services portfolio, Check Point MDR 360° and MXDR 360° reflect the company's commitment to delivering open garden, vendor-neutral cyber security services tailored to the needs of modern enterprises. As organizations face rising threats, compliance pressures, and a shortage of skilled talent, the services provide 24/7 protection and expert-led incident response through a fully managed SOC. With built-in identity protection, deep integrations, and enterprise-grade data capabilities, they help secure infrastructure and close critical security gaps across complex environments. 'With security teams under pressure, Check Point MDR 360° and MXDR 360° are designed to reduce operational burden with real-time, outcome-driven detection and response that is both flexible and vendor-agnostic,' said Eitan Lugassi, VP Infinity Global Services at Check Point Software Technologies.

As attackers increasingly target users, identity protection has become essential. Check Point delivers full visibility, real-time monitoring, and misconfiguration detection across Microsoft AD, Entra ID, Okta, and other SSO platforms.

The new services are designed for interoperability, supporting a broad range of third-party tools across cloud, endpoint, identity, and SaaS environments.

Keep UPI free
It's a public good that's made India a digital economy. Charging a fee on transactions might scupper it Thanks to UPI, India leads the world in instant digital payments. Last month, there were 1,840cr UPI transactions worth ₹24L cr. Behind this success lies a tweak that GOI made in Dec 2019. It removed all transaction fees – what banks call merchant discount rate or MDR – on UPI. Until then, banks had charged 0.25% for transactions up to ₹2,000, and 0.65% above. So, when you bought, say, milk worth ₹100 via UPI, your grocer lost ₹0.25. It doesn't seem like much, but on a low-margin product like milk – 2.5% dealer margin – it's a 10% hit to earnings. That's why UPI wasn't popular for daily needs back then. But with MDR gone, everyone loves UPI. Transaction volumes have jumped 14-fold in five years. So, RBI governor's recent remark regarding UPI: 'Some costs have to be paid…whether collectively or by the user,' needs careful analysis. This isn't the first time the idea of reinstating UPI fees has been floated, but coming from the guv, it merits discussion, even though the finance ministry last month ruled out restoring MDR. It was responding to media reports on restoration of MDR. North Block termed them 'baseless and sensation-creating speculations (that) cause needless uncertainty, fear and suspicion among our citizens.' Banks say they lose money on every UPI transaction because they get no return on the IT infra they maintain to process hundreds of millions of real-time payments every day. But the fact is, govt has been compensating banks for running UPI as a 'public good' these past five years. It paid a subsidy of 0.15% – 15 paise on ₹100 – on UPI transactions worth ₹2,000 or less last fiscal. Besides, if UPI is such a losing proposition, why has the number of participating banks jumped from 143 at the time of MDR's removal to 675 now? It's because banks use UPI to acquire customers for other lucrative products like loans and insurance. Also, IT costs that banks complain about don't arise from UPI alone – the infra is shared across their services. Still, if RBI and GOI tomorrow agree that UPI hurts the bottom line of banks, they should consider increasing the subsidy to banks, because reinstating MDR would reduce the acceptability of UPI, and increase cash in circulation, which was already at a record high of ₹37L cr in March, and cost the govt ₹6,373cr in printing costs last fiscal.
