Why CloudGuard WAF is the Intelligent Choice for Web and API Security

Legacy WAFs rely heavily on signature updates, manual tuning, and exception handling, leaving applications exposed to zero-day threats and operational inefficiencies. CloudGuard WAF changes the game by using machine learning and contextual AI to detect and block threats proactively—before they can exploit your application stack.

  • Zero-day Defense Without Signatures: Detect and prevent Log4Shell, Spring4Shell, and other emerging threats automatically.

  • Seamless DevOps Integration: Cloud-native by design with support for Infrastructure-as-Code, APIs, and CI/CD pipelines.

  • Accurate Detection, Fewer False Positives: No more endless fine-tuning or exception lists—CloudGuard adapts intelligently.

  • Full API Security Lifecycle: From discovery to monitoring, policy enforcement to sensitive data protection.

Key Capabilities of CloudGuard WAF

  • Contextual AI-Based Threat Prevention:
    Detects application-layer attacks without relying on static signatures—protecting against OWASP Top 10 and zero-day vulnerabilities.

  • Advanced API Protection:
    Full lifecycle security for APIs—discovery, schema validation, access control, abuse prevention, and protection from Shadow, Rogue, and Zombie APIs.

  • Bot Mitigation and DDoS Protection:
    Identifies and blocks automated attacks in real time, preserving performance and protecting customer experience.

  • Intrusion Prevention (IPS) Integration:
    Built on Check Point’s award-winning IPS, supporting over 2,800 web-related CVEs and custom Snort 3.0 rules for tailored defense.

  • Sensitive Data Security:
    Monitors and protects usage of personally identifiable information (PII), financial and healthcare data, and login credentials to prevent data exposure and support compliance.

How CloudGuard WAF Works

CloudGuard WAF operates within your cloud-native environment, acting as a security layer between external traffic and your web-facing applications. It continuously analyzes traffic context using AI and ML algorithms, preemptively blocking attacks—without degrading performance or requiring constant tuning.

CloudGuard WAF supports:

  • Inline or Out-of-Band Deployment

  • Multiple Cloud Platforms – AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes environments

  • Infrastructure-as-Code & Declarative API Configurations

  • Real-time Analytics & Incident Alerting

API Security with Visibility and Control

APIs have become the most targeted attack vector. CloudGuard WAF helps regain visibility and control with:

  • API Discovery: Identify every API—including hidden or deprecated ones.

  • Contextual Classification: Know which APIs are internal vs. public, legacy vs. active.

  • Change Monitoring: Detect changes that introduce risk and avoid API drift.

  • Data Exposure Protection: Track how APIs handle sensitive data and enforce privacy policies.

Ideal for DevOps, Security Teams, and Compliance Leaders

CloudGuard WAF is built to serve organizations looking to scale securely while maintaining speed and agility. Whether you’re a fast-moving startup or a regulated enterprise, CloudGuard helps:

  • Enforce consistent security across development pipelines.

  • Reduce security incidents related to misconfigured or outdated APIs.

  • Satisfy compliance requirements (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS) with built-in data protection and audit readiness.

Scenarios CloudGuard WAF Protects Against

Cloud-Native Protection with Zero Compromise

With CloudGuard WAF, security doesn’t slow you down—it scales with you. From infrastructure flexibility to policy accuracy, it’s the ideal modern WAF for companies that innovate quickly but refuse to compromise on security.
