Check Point CloudGuard Network Security

Check Point CloudGuard Network Security provides automated, elastic cloud network security and advanced threat prevention designed to protect enterprise public, private, and hybrid cloud environments from modern cyberattacks. Bringing the battle-tested capabilities of Check Point Quantum firewalls into cloud architectures, CloudGuard Network Security delivers comprehensive layer 7 inspection, advanced routing, micro-segmentation, and zero-day threat prevention across platforms such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, Oracle Cloud, and VMware NSX.

The platform incorporates Check Point SandBlast technology, featuring Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction to neutralize sophisticated zero-day malware and evasive exploits before they reach cloud workloads. Key features include dynamic policy automation that automatically adapts security policies to ephemeral cloud assets using cloud provider tags, automated autoscaling to handle unpredictable network traffic spikes, high availability clustering, and comprehensive intrusion prevention. Security management is unified through SmartConsole or the Infinity Portal, enabling consistent policy administration across physical and virtual infrastructures.

CloudGuard Network Security connects natively with cloud networking constructs like AWS Transit Gateway, Azure Virtual WAN, and GCP Network Connectivity Center. Common enterprise use cases include protecting ingress and egress cloud traffic, securing east-west traffic between virtual networks, establishing secure VPN connections between on-premises sites and cloud VPCs, and satisfying regulatory network security requirements such as PCI-DSS and HIPAA.
