Cloud Firewall, part of the Hybrid Mesh platform, provides advanced threat prevention and

automated cloud network security through a virtual security gateway, with unified security

management across all your multi-cloud and on-premises environments.

For public clouds, Cloud Firewall provides automated and elastic public cloud network security to

keep assets and data protected while staying aligned to the dynamic needs of public cloud

environments.

For private clouds, Cloud Firewall delivers dynamic security within virtual datacenters to prevent the

lateral spread of threats while consolidating visibility and management across physical, and virtual

networks.

Performance: Cloud Firewall (R81.20) on KVM • Next Generation Firewall (NGFW) throughput is measured with FW, IPS, Application Control features

enabled (see table 2 below), using Check Point Enterprise testing conditions.

• Next Generation Threat Prevention (NGTP) throughput is measured with FW, IPS, Application

Control, URL Filter, Anti-Virus, Anti-Bot features enabled (table 2 below), using Check Point

Enterprise testing conditions.

• Testing conducted on Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6209U CPU @ 2.10GHz, Testing RAM size was 8GB,

Network Interface: Intel Ethernet X710 for 10GbE SFP+

It is recommended to run additional testing within your environment to ensure your performance requirements are met. Your performance may vary depending on underlying cloud vendor infrastructure.
