Are you looking for an automated Web Application Firewall (WAF) with precise prevention and no management overheads? CloudGuard WAF delivers AI-enabled Web Application and API protection.
Overview
With deep application contextual analysis, CloudGuard WAF eliminates the tradeoff between the level of application security and the complexity of managing it. Your applications drive your business. As they evolve, grow, and expose more APIs, your attack surface expands. CloudGuard WAF learns how an application is typically used by profiling the user and the app content. It then scores each request accordingly, eliminating false positives while maintaining the highest security standards. CloudGuard WAF is easy to deploy and requires no ongoing maintenance as it continues to protect your evolving applications and APIs.
Advantages
- 90% of CloudGuard WAF customers run in prevent mode, demonstrating the hands-off nature of the management required
- 100% of CloudGuard WAF customers have less than 10 exception rules!
- CloudGuard WAF goes from deployment to active protection in just days, not weeks.

What do you like best about the product?
What I like best about Check Point CloudGuard WAF is its strong integration with cloud-native environments. It works seamlessly with our AWS deployment, and the automated protections help us stay ahead of evolving threats without constant manual tuning. The UI is intuitive, which makes managing policies and viewing logs much easier, even for team members who aren't deep into security. I also appreciate how responsive the threat intelligence updates are—there's a clear sense that we're being protected with real-time data. Overall, it gives us peace of mind knowing our web applications are secure without creating unnecessary complexity.
What do you dislike about the product?
While Check Point CloudGuard WAF is a solid solution overall, there are a few areas that could be improved. Occasionally, the initial configuration can be a bit time-consuming, especially for more complex environments. Also, while the documentation is helpful, some sections could benefit from a bit more clarity or real-world examples. That said, once everything is set up, the platform runs smoothly and delivers reliable protection.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Check Point CloudGuard WAF helps us protect our web applications from common threats like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and bot attacks. It’s particularly valuable in our cloud environment, where scalability and automation are key. By automatically adapting to new threats and integrating smoothly with our DevOps workflows, it reduces the need for manual intervention and speeds up our response time. This not only strengthens our security posture but also frees up our team to focus on other priorities without worrying about constant monitoring or complex rule updates.

What do you like best about the product?
The interface is easy to understand. When I compare to the competition with overly complex menu and nested option. It’s a bref of fresh air. It’s also cohesive with the rest of checkpoint’s offering

With more comprehensive approach I feel that’s it’s missing a few features. Such as a zero trust feature for clients which the competitors offers.
