CloudGuard Network Security

CloudGuard Network Security manages securing cloud environments from sophisticated threats, particularly in hybrid and multi-cloud setups. This solution integrates with leading cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, VMware, and others, ensuring consistent security policy enforcement and full visibility across physical, private, and public cloud networks.

Technically, CloudGuard employs cloud-native security gateways that automate advanced threat prevention and unified security management. It enhances native micro-segmentation and elastic networking capabilities of cloud environments, dynamically delivering security policies that scale with the cloud infrastructure. This architecture supports key features like dynamic security policies, elastic scalability, and automated network security, which are crucial for maintaining security posture in rapidly changing cloud environments.

Operationally, CloudGuard requires careful sizing and instance selection to ensure optimal performance. Check Point provides performance guidelines for various cloud environments, such as AWS, Azure, and VMware, to help in sizing the appropriate instances or VMs. However, there is no specific tool like CPSIZEME for on-prem environments; instead, performance datasheets and guidelines are available to assist in choosing the right instance sizes.

From a technical details perspective, CloudGuard supports industry-leading threat prevention with high catch rates for malware, ransomware, and other attacks. It also offers a single pane of glass for managing security across all cloud and on-premises environments, which simplifies incident analysis and compliance management. The solution is designed to handle the speed and scale of cloud deployments, including support for CI/CD workflows and serverless infrastructure like AWS Lambda functions.
