Check Point Cloud Firewall (formerly CloudGuard Network Security) Reviews

I use Check Point Cloud Firewall (formerly CloudGuard Network Security) to protect my network assets on the firewall front, managing the inbound and outbound traffic for my cloud workload.

The biggest advantage of Check Point Cloud Firewall (formerly CloudGuard Network Security) for me is routing my traffic and whitelisting my outbound traffic to my vendors, partners, and clients. I am using it for both outbound and inbound traffic purposes. Whenever there was an inspection on the network front, I used network IPS. When whitelisting our applications on the inbound part, I whitelist the application control to my cloud users to connect those particular applications.

Integrating with other Check Point products is easy because Check Point offers a platform-based approach rather than a tool-based solution. Within one platform, I can integrate the tools so that I get the visibility.

Check Point Cloud Firewall (formerly CloudGuard Network Security) has a significant impact on my confidence in secure cloud deployments and migrations. The experience is good. For providing internet access across my cloud platform, using Check Point Cloud Firewall (formerly CloudGuard Network Security) means I can push the policy from a single console. Check Point has a gateway and a policy manager, so across unified policy, I can push it. An important feature with Check Point is object-level whitelisting. For example, I whitelist Office 365. I do not want to whitelist their IP. If I am whitelisting their object in the FQDN piece, there is no need to modify the IP. Sometimes Microsoft changes IPs, and we do not want to whitelist again and again. By whitelisting the object, life is simpler. We do not want to continuously whitelist the IPs.

Check Point Cloud Firewall (formerly CloudGuard Network Security) helps to reduce my organizational risk significantly. I would say that unified AI threat prevention is good. Compared to other solutions, it definitely reduces our threat prevention.
