Guide | Securing GenAI Apps on AWS with Check Point
Extending the Foundations of Web App & Cloud Security to AWS-Powered GenAI Applications.

Standing on the shoulders of giants
Decades of experience have provided us with well-established tools and principles to
protect clouds and web apps: From Next-Generation Hybrid Mesh Firewalls that
protect and segment cloud and on-prem resources, to Web and API Firewalls (WAFs)
that protect web-facing applications and exposed API endpoints.
However, with the meteoric rise of Generative AI (GenAI) applications, such as chatbot
assistants in internal and external-facing applications, and multi-step/multi-agent
agentic flows/systems with access to sensitive data and tools such as web-browsing
and code execution, new attack vectors and unique risks have emerged that challenge
our established notions of web app security.
Additionally, to reduce costs and rapidly adopt the era-defining revolution of GenAI
technologies, companies are adopting hybrid cloud deployments, making
infrastructure-agnostic IP-free firewalls an absolute necessity for consistent,
repeatable security controls.
This white paper discusses Check Point’s approach and its new capabilities to address
the security risks of GenAI applications by seamlessly extending existing security
controls and well-established security practices. Specifically, Check Point’s Hybrid
Mesh Firewall with extended cloud-native capabilities, and the Check Point WAF
(previously known as CloudGuard WAF), which has been supercharged with specially
crafted GenAI security capabilities.

SECURING GENAI APPS ON AWS WITH CHECK POINT
PREFACE 2
Preface Why we must secure traffic from packets up to APIs
The proliferation of networks across regions, branches, and on-premises data centers, along with the
expansion into an increasing number of private and public cloud providers, as well as the increasing
reliance on web applications and APIs with CVE-riddled open source dependencies, has led to the rise of
integrated security controls such as centrally managed, infrastructure-agnostic, and IP-free Hybrid
Mesh Firewalls. This shift also demanded that WAFs extend their security to API enforcement, with an
increasing emphasis on embedded intrusion-prevention systems capable of handling zero-day exploits.
Now, with the advent of GenAI, the traditional security blueprints and controls are being challenged yet
again by new attack methods that network firewalls and WAFs cannot handle. For instance:
• Jailbreaking models directly (user prompts) or indirectly (prompt injection) to trick GenAI-powered
assistants/agents to exfiltrate sensitive data in DLP-resistant outputs (e.g., output privileged
information in ASCII art), mint unauthorized coupons, sell cars for $1, and more.
• Tricking AI Agents into launching attacks, such as executing arbitrary code, performing SQL
injections on an SQL database in Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) setups.
• The introduction of agentic frameworks such as CrewAI, Flowise, and n8n that introduce an ever-
increasing number of CVEs in internet-exposed systems with direct or indirect access to highly
sensitive assets via Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
Now, over three decades after Check Point invented the first-ever firewall, Check Point has extended the
battle-tested foundations of web application and cloud security to address the challenges of GenAI
security. To achieve this, Check Point has (1) added GenAI-specific security layers to its Web Application
and API Firewall (WAF), addressing issues such as model jailbreaking, misuse, excessive agency, and
more, and (2) increased its Hybrid Mesh Firewall's ability to inspect cloud-spanning networks with deep
cloud-native integrations to facilitate rapid adoption of hosted GenAI-based systems.
In other words, Check Point now offers a holistic threat-prevention security solution to secure traffic
from the packets in your network, through APIs in your apps, and up to prompts in your LLMs.

distributed gateways (regardless of form factor) across hybrid environments so they function as one
system with unified policy, visibility, and control.
Existing Cloud/Web-App Security & Generative AI
What Current Controls Can Protect
The standard combination of Hybrid Mesh Firewalls and WAFs ensures that security encompasses all
traffic layers, from packets traversing the network to API/HTTP requests. And since, at the end of the
day, GenAI-powered web applications are still web applications, Hybrid Mesh Firewalls and WAFs
together remain effective at blocking many attacks targeting them.
Specifically:
• The WAF will still enforce API schemas, including LLM-bound APIs.
• Layer 3 and Layer 7 DLPs will still capture many instances of sensitive data leaks.
• IPSs will still block most malicious activities – GenAI-bound or otherwise.

EXISTING CLOUD/WEB-APP SECURITY & GENERATIVE AI 4
• Multi-faceted cross-cloud segmentation will still ensure that only your chatbot can communicate
with your agents, only your agents can talk to a specific MCP server, and only a specific MCP server
can access your data.
• Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) will minimize the likelihood of unauthorized actors poisoning
RAG databases and prevent meddling in system prompts and fine-tuning/training pipelines.
Current Controls Are Good, But Not Good Enough for GenAI
As noted, even without GenAI-specific features, modern security controls and security blueprints provide
adequate security, either directly or indirectly, against the most common GenAI attacks and their
consequences as long as the GenAI-borne attack shares common denominators with more standard
attacks against cloud infrastructure and web applications.
Unfortunately, no matter how effective these systems are at protecting cloud apps and assets, they do
not address the new attack methods to which LLMs are exposed, nor the attacks that LLMs expose the
company to.
Attacks such as model jailbreaking, prompt injection, model misuse, excessive agency (e.g., too many
tools/permissions), and RegEx-resistant data exfiltration cannot be fully addressed by traditional
security blueprints and the firewalls they employ.

HYBRID MESH FIREWALL FOR THE GENAI ERA 5
The following chapter will explore the capabilities required for GenAI-ready WAFs and Hybrid Mesh
Firewalls, enabling companies to secure their GenAI applications without changing their existing security
blueprint.
Hybrid Mesh irewall for the GenAI Era While hybrid cloud deployments have long been standard in enterprise IT to secure complex,
heterogeneous environments spanning multiple networks, the rise of Generative AI (GenAI) has further
amplified their complexity. Organizations are now combining Amazon Web Services’ extensive array of
GenAI tools with other public/private-cloud and on-premises environments to build scalable GenAI
pipelines that balance innovation, cost efficiency, and data-sovereignty requirements.
The Role of the Hybrid Mesh Firewall
Historically, modern environments have consisted of multiple disjoint networks unified by Network
Connectivity Mesh tools, SD-WAN, virtual WANs, VPNs, and inter-cloud solutions such as AWS Direct
Connect. Check Point’s Hybrid Mesh Firewall (HMFW) extends this concept to the gateway layer, creating
a single overlay firewall that unifies protection across on-premises, branch, cloud, and virtual firewalls.
Check Point Cloud Firewall (previously known as CloudGuard Network Security) integrates natively with
AWS and other platforms through unified management, IP-free dynamic policies, and infrastructure-
agnostic enforcement that automatically adapts to changing network and application contexts. This
seamless integration enables consistent threat prevention, segmentation, and zero-trust enforcement
across traffic flows—from on-prem data centers to AWS-hosted environments—for any app and
workload—with GenAI and without.

HYBRID MESH FIREWALL FOR THE GENAI ERA 6
Why GenAI Changes Everything
The adoption of GenAI has accelerated the move toward heterogeneous environments. The main drivers
include: (1) Simplified AI enablement by leveraging AWS-provided, out-of-the-box GenAI tooling to build
and deploy robust AI pipelines quickly by non-AI specialists, and (2) Cost optimization by avoiding
datacenter-scale GPU investments.
At the same time, data-governance and compliance requirements in Retrieval Augmented Generation
(RAG) pipelines often necessitate private-cloud or on-prem storage of sensitive data, while AI assistants
and agentic workflows run in public clouds such as AWS. Many enterprise systems (HR, CRM, ERP)
remain confined to private clouds with immutable deployment blueprints, making secure hybrid
connectivity essential.
Consider a representative deployment of an Order Support Assistant that helps customers with orders,
returns, and refunds while securely accessing their personal data.
In our deployment, the sensitive data remains hosted in an on-premises database, while the web app and
its AI logic run in a scalable AWS cloud environment, leveraging out-of-the-box GenAI tools to help non-
AI experts build AI-powered systems. This division reflects a pattern increasingly common in enterprise
GenAI: high-performance AI in the public cloud, with data sovereignty on-prem. Specifically:(1) AWS Step
Functions as the AI Agent orchestrator with access to (2) non-sensitive terms-of-service stored in RAG-
specialized S3 buckets (vectorized plain-text), and (3) an MCP Server that translates questions into
structured MySQL queries sent to (4) a MySQL DB stored in any self-hosted private cloud for
regulatory/compliance.
Unified Connectivity and Auto-Scaling
The first step in protecting hybrid environments is to establish secure connectivity between them, either
via an IPsec VPN or connectivity tools such as AWS Direct Connect. Check Point Cloud Firewall’s

integrated VPN provides immediate deployment simplicity, and its blueprint integrates seamlessly with
AWS Direct Connect, leveraging it as a trusted, high-performance path within a unified security fabric.
During workload fluctuations, AWS Auto Scaling Groups dynamically scale out or scale in Check Point
Cloud Firewall instances. Each instance is (1) automatically provisioned, (2) establishes Secure Internal
Communication (SIC), (3) applies a restrictive zero-trust baseline, and (4) promotes to a full policy post-
validation.
Importantly, this exact behavior is replicated across clouds with continuous asset synchronization and
adaptive policies that automatically apply to new workloads and infrastructure changes without manual
replumbing or rule editing – ensuring elasticity never compromises governance.
Dynamic, IP-Free Policy Enforcement
Modern GenAI applications rely on ephemeral components, ubernetes pods, serverless orchestrations,
transient VMs, and dynamically scaled MCP servers. Static IP-based rules are brittle and unmanageable
in this context.
Check Point Cloud Firewall replaces them with attribute-driven, metadata-aware policies based on cloud
tags, labels, and categories. AWS tags, ubernetes labels, and Nutanix categories are automatically
discovered and synchronized, allowing segmentation and threat-prevention rules to follow workloads
wherever they run.
This declarative model yields a self-adjusting security fabric that evolves in real time with the
infrastructure, maintaining visibility, compliance, and repeatable protection across AWS, private, and on-
prem resources.
Prevention-First Security for GenAI Workloads
GenAI ecosystems introduce fast-moving, unpredictable attack surfaces, ranging from model-API
misuse to code-execution agents and poisoned retrieval data. Static, detection-only, and signature-based
approaches cannot anticipate these threats. Check Point’s prevention-first architecture, driven by its AI-
powered Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) and autonomous policy synchronization, stops both known
and unknown exploits before they impact the environment.

HYBRID MESH FIREWALL FOR THE GENAI ERA 8
According to the CyberRatings Cloud Network Firewall Comparative Test (Q1 0 5), Check Point achieved
a 100% exploit block rate across ,0 8 tested attacks, including zero-day and multi-vector payloads,
making it the only vendor to deliver perfect protection across all tested categories.
By contrast, the average score for all other tested firewalls was an abysmal %, with evasion detection,
CVE coverage, and TLS-cipher support being the most consistent issues contributing to lower scores.
Check Point’s results were further amplified by its 100% false-positive rate, meaning that legitimate
traffic, such as API calls between model orchestration layers and data backends, passed unimpeded.
Beyond raw detection, CyberRatings tested ,500 evasion scenarios across L3 to L7 protocols, including
fragmentation, obfuscation, content encoding, and Unicode manipulation, all of which Check Point Cloud
Firewall neutralized without fail.
This resilience is directly relevant to GenAI environments where attackers exploit serialized JSON
payloads, multi-part uploads, or vector-store injections. Check Point Cloud Firewall’s advanced traffic
normalization and AI-driven IPS engine ensure that even mutated requests and encoded data streams
cannot evade inspection.
By combining these capabilities with autonomous policy synchronization, TLS decryption for model API
calls, and context-aware application control, Check Point Cloud Firewall delivers the highest
independently validated protection for hybrid cloud and GenAI deployments.
Zero-Day Prevention and Continuous Validation
The Miercom Enterprise & Hybrid Mesh Firewall Security Report (Q1 0 5) further reinforces Check
Point’s leadership, ranking it #1 across all major protection categories. The Check Point Cloud Firewall’s
IPS achieved an average block rate of 98% against eysight Breaking Point simulated exploits, with Zero-
Day+1 malware prevention blocking 99.9% of new malware within 4 hours.

CHECK POINT WAF IN THE GENAI ERA 9
A Firewall Built for the Unknown
These outcomes demonstrate the power of a prevention-first philosophy: stopping threats before they
execute, which is crucial in GenAI systems, where a single prompt-driven intrusion could cascade into
large-scale data exfiltration or supply-chain compromise. And as GenAI architectures intertwine APIs,
agentic toolchains, and data pipelines, Check Point Cloud Firewall stands as a unified, prevention-
driven defense layer that strengthens and complements AWS-native controls, enabling organizations to
innovate with confidence in the age of AI.
Check Point WA in the GenAI Era
From Traditional Web App Protection to GenAI-Aware Defense
As mentioned, GenAI-powered web applications are, at their core, still web applications. They rely on
HTTP and API interactions that must be protected against abuse, injection, and data leakage. Therefore,
most GenAI-specific attacks ultimately manifest as HTTP/API-based requests that a Web Application and
API Firewall (WAF) can inspect, enforce, and block.
At their foundation, WAFs share many characteristics with traditional gateways, including Data Loss
Prevention (DLP), Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), rate limiters, and anti-bot protections. Whereas
network firewalls focus on Layers 3–4 (TCP, UDP, IP), WAFs operate at Layer 7, inspecting HTTP/S and
API traffic to detect threats invisible to traditional gateways, such as inter-container communication in
ubernetes, malformed or shadow APIs, and abuse of legitimate endpoints.

CHECK POINT WAF IN THE GENAI ERA 10
From Signatures to Machine Learning
Due to the explosive growth of zero-day vulnerabilities and the shrinking window between disclosure and
exploitation (median < 5 days), modern WAFs have evolved beyond static signature matching.
Check Point WAF exemplifies this shift with a patented machine-learning contextual engine that
continuously analyzes every user request and application interaction, autonomously detecting and
blocking malicious behavior.
This ML-driven approach is reinforced by Check Point WAF’s IPS, Anti-Bot, File Security, and Snort-
based intrusion-detection layers, which provide preemptive protection without relying on signatures or
software updates. Together, these layers ensure consistent coverage against emerging and zero-day
threats.
The Advent of Modern API Security
As organizations adopt microservices and API-centric architectures, including headless, machine-to-
machine, and GenAI-driven APIs, Check Point WAF automatically discovers and maps active APIs,
maintaining a “living schema” that evolves in real time. Security teams can review and approve schema
changes to prevent drift while retaining complete visibility.
Through Schema Validation, Check Point WAF enforces OpenAPI (OAS) contracts as a definitive source of
truth for allowed API behavior, blocking any invalid or out-of-contract requests. By combining positive
(schema-based) and negative (ML-based) security models, Check Point WAF defends against both known
and unknown API-level attack vectors.
The “Hybrid Mesh WAF”
As enterprises increasingly operate across on-premises, private, and multiple public clouds (such as
AWS, Azure, or GCP) and containerized environments, WAFs must mirror the flexibility of the Hybrid
Mesh Firewall.
Check Point WAF acts as a Hybrid Mesh WAF, enabling a single-vendor, centrally managed,
infrastructure-agnostic protection layer that delivers consistent security regardless of form factor or
deployment model. It can be deployed as a virtual gateway (VM-based) on AWS or other clouds, as an
NGINX or ong add-on, as a ubernetes Ingress controller (NGINX / ong / Istio), as a single managed
Docker container, or as a fully managed WAF-as-a-Service (WAF SaaS) instance.
Whichever form factor you choose, Check Point WAF enforces uniform policies, updates, and ML-based
learning synchronization across all instances. This unified management eliminates configuration drift,
duplicated tuning, and inconsistent results often caused by multi-vendor WAF sprawl.
Extending WAF Protection to Generative AI
To address the unique risks posed by Generative AI applications, Check Point has enhanced its WAF with
an AI-driven, bidirectional, low-latency security system.

SECURING GENAI APPS ON AWS WITH CHECK POINT
CHECK POINT WAF IN THE GENAI ERA 11
These new GenAI-specific layers operate in real time on both inputs to and outputs from large language
models (LLMs), detecting and mitigating threats that conventional WAFs cannot see, such as prompt
injection, data exfiltration, agent/tool misuse, or poisoned retrieval data.
Each user interaction or agent step is screened, enabling security teams to block, warn, or log risky
behavior. This includes thwarting jailbreak or manipulation attempts, preventing leakage of sensitive
data (PII, credentials, system prompts), and blocking RAG-based phishing via malicious URLs.
Model-Agnostic, Centrally Managed Protection
Building on the hybrid-mesh philosophy, Check Point WAF’s GenAI protections are centrally managed,
policy-driven, and model-agnostic. They apply uniformly across all deployment types — VMs, containers,
and managed services — so that a single control plane governs the same prevention logic everywhere
your GenAI apps run.
Check Point WAF supports any LLM, whether a self-hosted open-source foundation model, a frontier
model such as OpenAI or Anthropic, or an LLM delivered via a cloud provider such as Amazon Web
Services. Its GenAI security engine supports 100+ languages and scripts, crucial for handling
multilingual or obfuscated data while maintaining detection accuracy and minimizing false negatives.
GenAI Threats and How the Check Point WAF Prevents Them
Check Point WAF’s enhanced capabilities extend traditional protections to cover both the inputs and
outputs of LLM-based systems. Below are the principal threat categories and corresponding
countermeasures:
• Prompt Injection & Jailbreak Attacks: Detects and mitigates both direct and indirect prompt
manipulations designed to override model instructions or gain unauthorized access. The Real-Time
Prompt Defense Engine automatically flags or blocks such attempts across 100+ languages,
allowing applications to halt interactions or warn users.
• Data Leakage & Sensitive Information Exposure: Prevents intentional or accidental exposure of PII,
credentials, system prompts, or proprietary information in inbound or outbound model

communications. The GenAI DLP layer can mask sensitive fields or block entire exchanges,
identifying entities such as full names, credit card numbers, IBANs, SSNs, and obfuscated variants.
• Malicious or Unknown Links: Stops phishing or poisoned-RAG attacks that attempt to inject or
retrieve malicious URLs during model reasoning. The Unknown Links Detector flags URLs outside
the top 1 million trusted domains and supports custom allowlists for enterprise-approved sources.
• Off-Policy or Harmful Content Generation: Blocks models from producing or relaying disallowed,
offensive, or policy-violating content. The Content Moderation Module filters for six categories —
Crime, Hate, Profanity, Sexual, Violence, and Weapons — and intercepts harmful or obfuscated
content before users see it.
• False-Positive Management and Continuous Tuning: Maintains Check Point WAF’s industry-leading
low false-positive rate through configurable Confidence Thresholds aligned with OWASP paranoia
levels. Administrators can temporarily fine-tune sensitivity or apply Allow/Deny Lists to override
during investigations.
• Insecure Outputs & Cross-System Injection: Protects downstream systems from consuming tainted
model responses (e.g., injected SQL, XSS, or code fragments). The GenAI modules evaluate each
LLM output before it reaches integrated applications, enforcing prompt-defense and data-leakage
rules.
• Custom and Context-Specific Threats: Supports custom RegEx-based detectors for organization-
specific identifiers, project names, and banned phrases, enabling tailored content moderation and
DLP policies.
• False-Positive Management and Continuous Tuning: Maintains the WAF’s industry-leading low
false-positive rate through configurable Confidence Thresholds aligned with OWASP paranoia levels.
Administrators can temporarily fine-tune sensitivity or apply Allow/Deny Lists to override during
investigations.
A Unified, Prevention-First WAF for GenAI and Beyond
These GenAI-focused capabilities integrate directly with Check Point WAF’s existing signature-free
threat prevention and its autonomous API schema enforcement. The result is a single control plane that
secures both conventional web applications and GenAI-driven systems, whether public-facing chatbots
or internal agentic frameworks, using the same prevention logic and operational workflows.
By combining ML-first inspection, schema validation, prompt-defense intelligence, and multi-language
awareness, Check Point WAF delivers a unified layer of defence across all environments—from
ubernetes clusters to AWS-hosted LLM endpoints—ensuring secure, compliant, and trustworthy GenAI
adoption.
