    Check Point CloudGuard Network Security is a cloud-native security gateway that delivers industry-leading threat prevention and multi-layered network security for workloads migrated to or deployed in AWS environments.

    Comprehensive Cloud Network Security: CloudGuard Network Security for AWS protects cloud assets with a full suite of advanced security capabilities, including: firewall, Data Loss Prevention (DLP), Intrusion Prevention System (IPS), application control, IPsec VPN, URL filtering, antivirus, anti-Bot, threat emulation, and threat extraction. These features enable proactive defense against known and unknown threats, ensuring robust protection for cloud workloads.

    Industry-Leading Threat Prevention: CloudGuard Network Security for AWS provides advanced threat prevention to secure AWS environments from sophisticated threats, unapproved access, and application-layer Denial of Service (DoS) attacks with industry-leading catch rates.

    Full Control of Network Traffic: CloudGuard Network Security for AWS ensures secure, encrypted data flows between your on-premises network and your AWS VPCs. It inspects traffic entering and exiting private subnets in the VPC ("North-South") as well as between VPCs ("East-West").

    Unified Security Management: Extend on-premises security policies into the AWS cloud with unified, centralized management via Check Point CloudGuard Security Management Server. Manage policies, logs, and reports consistently across AWS, hybrid, and on-premises environments from a single pane of glass. This listing includes the gateway only.

CloudGuard dynamically adapts security policies based on real-time cloud metadata and changes. Supports AWS Transit Gateway, auto-scaling, high availability, and multi-AZ redundancy.

    Flexible Licensing and Seamless AWS Integration: Deploy within minutes as either a single gateway, as a high availability cluster, or as an auto scaling group via Check Point CloudFormation templates (sk111013).

    Best autoscaling solution for multiple CSP

    Reviewed on Apr 03, 2025
    Review provided by G2
    What do you like best about the product?
    Autoscaling is super efficient and easy to configure.
    Deploys actually take less than 2 days, even less with terraform deployments.
    Support is actually really fast, even on the lowest severity.
    I manage cloudguards in aws, azure, gcp, oci every day, and i am completely satisfied.
    What do you dislike about the product?
    We need c2s and s2s vpns on A/A scalesets.
    What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
    Check Point CloudGuard is a lifesaver for our dynamic cloud environment. The auto-scaling feature automatically adjusts security coverage as traffic volumes change, eliminating those throughput bottlenecks we used to face. When traffic spikes, it scales up instantly, and scales down when things quiet down. This means we're never overpaying for unused capacity or scrambling when traffic surges.
