Check Point Check Point Cloud Firewall 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: Check Point Cloud Firewall 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 extraction, and threat emulations. These features enable proactive defense against known and unknown threats, ensuring robust protection for cloud workloads.
Industry-Leading Threat Prevention: Check Point Cloud Firewall 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 (Miercom 2025 and Cyberratings 2025).
Full Control of Network Traffic: Check Point Cloud Firewall 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 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. For management, use Check Point Smart-1 Cloud: https://www.checkpoint.com/quantum/unified-cyber-security-platform/smart-1-cloud/
Automated, Scalable Cloud Security: Integrates with infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform and Ansible for policy automation and cloud-native scaling. 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.
Seamless AWS Integration: Check Point Cloud Firewall integrates with a broad range of AWS services, including Gateway Load Balancer, AWS Security Hub, VPC Ingress Routing, AWS Traffic Mirroring, AWS Transit Gateway, AWS Outposts, and Amazon Macie.
This Check Point Cloud Firewall gateway will be deployed as a single gateway, as a high availability cluster, or as an Auto Scaling group via Check Point CloudFormation templates (sk111013) or via automation tools such as Ansible, Terraform, etc. This BYOL-distributed security gateway is managed from a central Security Management Server, which provides consistent security policy management, enforcement, and reporting across AWS and hybrid deployments within a single pane of glass. The Security Management Server is not included in this offering. To manage Check Point Cloud Firewall Gateway it is recommended using Check Point Smart-1 Cloud (https://www.checkpoint.com/quantum/unified-cyber-security-platform/smart-1-cloud/ ).

Comprehensive Cloud Security with Strong Threat Prevention and Centralized Policies
Reviewed on Jul 24, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Check Point Cloud Firewall (formerly CloudGuard Network Security) is the combination of comprehensive cloud security, advanced threat prevention, and centralized policy management. It delivers reliable protection across different cloud environments while also simplifying how security policies are created and maintained. Overall, it helps organizations keep a strong security posture without adding unnecessary operational complexity.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial setup and configuration can feel complex, and some of the more advanced features come with a learning curve. On top of that, the licensing costs may be high for smaller organizations, and the management interface could be more intuitive and easier to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Check Point Cloud Firewall (formerly CloudGuard Network Security) helps secure cloud workloads by preventing cyber threats, enforcing consistent security policies, and protecting network traffic across cloud environments. As a result, it strengthens overall security, lowers operational risk, and makes cloud security management simpler and more consistent.

Single Pane of Glass for Multi-Cloud Visibility and Faster Triage
Reviewed on Jul 21, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
It provides a single pane of glass across AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid environments. Instead of jumping between multiple consoles, I can view logs, alerts, and policy hits in one place, which speeds up the initial process.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI can feel overwhelming at first. As an L1, it takes some time to figure out where the logs are, how the policies map to cloud resources, and what each alert actually means.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizations migrating to AWS, Azure, or GCP often end up with different tools and policies in each environment. Cloud Firewall brings the same firewall, IPS, anti-malware, URL filtering, and application control logic into the cloud, so security doesn’t become fragmented across platforms.

Strong Threat Prevention, Needs Easier Setup
Reviewed on Jul 16, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
I like Check Point Cloud Firewall's strong threat prevention, centralized policy management, easy integration with the cloud environment, and comprehensive visibility into network traffic and security events.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the initial setup and policy configuration to be complex, and the management interface has a learning curve. More intuitive reporting and simplified troubleshooting would improve the overall experience. Simplifying the initial deployment with better setup wizards, improving the UI for policy management, and providing a more customizable dashboard and reporting would make the platform easier to use, especially for new administrators.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Check Point Cloud Firewall to secure cloud workloads and prevent threats, though its initial setup and policy configuration can be complex. It improves cloud traffic visibility despite a management interface learning curve.

Strong Multi-Cloud Security with Centralized Management and Powerful Automation
Reviewed on Jul 08, 2026
Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Check Point Cloud Firewall is its strong security capabilities combined with centralized management across multiple cloud environments. It provides advanced threat prevention, granular access control, and excellent visibility into network traffic. The integration with public cloud platforms is smooth, making it easier to enforce consistent security policies across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. The user interface is intuitive, logging and monitoring are comprehensive, and the automation features help reduce manual effort while improving overall security posture. It is a reliable solution for organizations looking to secure hybrid and multi-cloud deployments.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Check Point Cloud Firewall offers strong security features, the initial setup and configuration can be complex, especially for teams that are new to the platform. The management console has a learning curve, and troubleshooting policy-related issues can sometimes take longer than expected. Licensing and pricing can also be expensive for smaller organizations. Improving the user interface, simplifying deployment, and providing more intuitive documentation and guided configuration would make the overall experience much better.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Check Point Cloud Firewall helps us secure cloud workloads and network traffic across multiple cloud environments from a single management console. It improves visibility into traffic, enforces consistent security policies, and provides advanced threat prevention to reduce the risk of cyberattacks. The solution has helped simplify firewall management, strengthen compliance, minimize manual configuration efforts through automation, and improve our overall cloud security posture while reducing operational overhead.
