Check Point CloudGuard WAFaaS is an AI-driven, fully managed web application firewall that provides advanced security for applications and APIs. It delivers real-time protection against zero-day threats, OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, DDoS attacks, and more, ensuring high availability, AWS security compliance, and uninterrupted service.
CloudGuard WAFaaS integrates seamlessly with AWS services, including Amazon Route 53, AWS WAF, AWS Shield, AWS API Gateway, Amazon CloudFront, and AWS Lambda, enabling automated threat prevention with minimal operational overhead.
Overview
Check Point CloudGuard WAF-as-a-Service (WAFaaS) for AWS simplifies web application security by eliminating the complexity of traditional WAF solutions. Easily deployable via AWS Marketplace, it provides automated API discovery, schema validation, and real-time security updates to minimize misconfigurations and unauthorized data exposure.
Designed for cloud-native agility, CloudGuard WAFaaS integrates directly with AWS CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) frameworks such as AWS CloudFormation and Terraform. This allows security teams to embed protection into their AWS development workflows without slowing down innovation. It prevents cyber threats, including zero-day attacks, OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities, bot-driven exploits, and large-scale DDoS attacks, ensuring uninterrupted service availability and security compliance.
CloudGuard WAFaaS delivers a non-agent WAF that can be deployed in less than 15 minutes. Traffic is effortlessly routed through Check Point servers, which automatically issue SSL certificates. Upon redirection, any HTTP requests are intercepted for inspection and forwarded to the application only after validating their security.
CloudGuard WAFaaS is available in premium and advanced packages (Advanced package does not include API Discovery and Zero-day file security).
ADVANCED PACKAGE: The Advanced package provides core protection features, including:

Nice customer support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Initial Learning Curve is the only challenge. Product is so great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Traditional WAFs often require manual tuning to avoid blocking legitimate traffic. CloudGuard’s AI-driven detection minimizes false positives, reducing the need for constant rule adjustment.With advanced analytics and continuous monitoring, it enables proactive threat detection and response, giving security teams better visibility into application-layer attacks.The capability to deploy quickly means you can secure new applications faster, keep pace with DevOps, and not delay releases for security gating.

Review provided by G2
What do you like best about the product?
Unlike traditional WAFs that focus mainly on OWASP Top 10, CloudGuard uses Check Point’s ThreatCloud intelligence to detect. CloudGuard WAF uses machine learning and behavioral analysis to adaptively tune protection, reducing false positives.You can manage the WAF alongside your cloud network security, API protection, and runtime posture through a single CloudGuard console. Support is as always so great.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation and self-help resources are seen as lacking in some areas — users say they sometimes need more detailed examples or stronger guidance
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudGuard does automated discovery of API endpoints, applies contextual AI to traffic, and doesn’t rely purely on static signatures. CloudGuard uses ML / behavioural analysis to detect anomalous traffic or patterns even if no signature exists. CloudGuard supports deployment across cloud providers, hybrid models, and integrates with cloud-native services. CloudGuard provides centralised console, logging, visibility across cloud apps, and integrates with threat-intel.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
CloudGuard WAF addresses the challenges posted by traditional WAFs that rely heavily on static signatures, manual rule tuning and reactive defences. It also improves detection accuracy while dramatically reducing false positives, so your security operation teams spend much time investigating benign traffic and more time responding to real threats. Additional features like built in bot detection, DDos mitigation, and file upload scanning further close off common attack vectors.
