We have over ten root domains that we need to protect through the firewall. All our hosts are in EC2 instances, and it is challenging to protect them by using any AWS load balancer or shields. Therefore, we have implemented Check Point CloudGuard WAF as a solution to protect all these domains from the open internet. It supports all environments, including on-premises, Azure, AWS, and we have also implemented it for CDN URLs as well.
