Delivering intelligent, integrated, and automated protection in a cloud-first world

24 REASONS CUSTOMERS CHOOSE CHECK POINT CLOUDGUARD WAF OVER THE COMPETITION

Web applications are under constant threat from zero-day exploits, API abuse, and other hard-to-detect threats. Large, hyperconnected organizations need more than just a basic WAF. They need intelligent, low-touch security that protects across environments without adding operational burden.

More security leaders are choosing Check Point CloudGuard WAF because it’s easy to deploy, flexible, and offers the best threat prevention capabilities in the world. And unlike traditional WAFs that demand constant tuning or miss modern threats, CloudGuard WAF provides automated, ML-powered protection backed by global threat intelligence, while seamlessly integrating into your broader security architecture.

Following are four key reasons why customers consistently choose Check Point CloudGuard WAF over competitive offerings.

“I Need Protection I Can Trust. Without Constant Tuning.”1 Buyer Challenge Most WAFs struggle with false positives and manual rule tuning, which leads to blocked users, missed attacks, and SOC fatigue.

Check Point Advantage • The highest detection rate and lowest false positives in the market • Auto-deployment templates for public cloud and containers • Pre-configured protections that work out of the box • Integrated with ThreatCloudAI, one of the world’s largest cyber intelligence

networks, for real-time signature updates and zero-day protection

Result: Accurate, evolving protection that creates fewer false positives and requires less monitoring. You need fewer SOC resources and can focus on more strategic defense work.

“I Need Something That Works Across All My Environments”2

3 “My APIs Are Under Attack and Traditional WAFs Can’t Keep Up”

Buyer Challenge APIs and microservices are critical—but also exposed. Traditional WAFs often lack the granular visibility and controls to protect modern applications.

Check Point Advantage • Advanced API protection with auto-discovery, schema validation, and

behavioral profiling • Coverage of OWASP API Top 10, including abuse of functionality and injection flaws • Protects business logic at runtime using deep application-layer visibility

Result: Modern, API-first security that adapts as your applications evolve.

Buyer Challenge Organizations operate in hybrid and multi-cloud environments, but many WAFs are tied to specific platforms or can’t keep up with cloud-native apps.

Check Point Advantage • Cloud-native deployment across AWS, Azure, GCP, containers, and on-prem • Available as both SaaS (CloudGuard AppSec) and appliance-based solutions • Unified security policies and management across all environments

Result: One solution that works everywhere—no silos, no compromises.
