CloudGuard WAF: A Cloud-Native Security Solution
CloudGuard WAF is a web application and API security solution that is cloud-native, developed by Check Point.
It utilizes contextual AI and advanced techniques
It utilizes contextual AI and machine learning to identify and prevent threats aimed at web applications and APIs, without depending on traditional signatures.
The solution provides several essential capabilities
1. Machine Learning (ML)-based threat prevention that effectively addresses the OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities with minimal tuning needed.
2. API discovery and security features that assist in identifying and protecting against malicious API access while enforcing API schema compliance.
3. Protection against automated attacks through Bot and DDoS prevention mechanisms.
4. An Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) that safeguards over 2,800 web Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) and supports custom Snort 3.0 signatures.
CloudGuard WAF incorporates API discovery functionality, enabling organizations to identify and analyze their entire API landscape. This includes shadow APIs, rogue APIs, zombie APIs, and deprecated endpoints.
This capability enables users to effectively manage API changes
This capability enables users to monitor changes in APIs, reduce API drift, and safeguard sensitive data such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII), financial details, and login credentials.
The solution is available as a service
The solution is offered as a service known as WAFaaS (Web Application Firewall as a Service), which can be quickly deployed by making changes to DNS configuration.
The service-based deployment automatically provides and renews SSL certificates
The service-based deployment automatically manages and renews SSL certificates while utilizing CDN delivery. This ensures that services remain continuously available and protected against DDoS and bot attacks.
CloudGuard WAF integrates seamlessly with Check Point's wider CloudGuard platform. This platform offers additional cloud security features, including Cloud Detection & Response, Cloud Security Posture Management, Cloud Native Application Protection, and Code Security.
