Check Point Software CloudGuard WAF Expands Global Footprint

Check Point CloudGuard WAF global footprint has expanded with 8 new points of presence (PoPs) in recent months. This growth supports rising demand for the CloudGuard WAF-as-a-service, which has continued to show strong business growth since its launch last year. CloudGuard WAF is built for modern application security and goes beyond traditional WAFs with a prevention-first, fully automated AI approach that adapts in real time.

It preemptively blocks both known and unknown zero day threats without relying on signatures or manual tuning, significantly reducing operational overhead.

However, smart automation also requires smart infrastructure. That is why Check Point is expanding its global network of points of presence (PoPs), bringing security closer to users.

CloudGuard WAF operates worldwide, and each delivers the full security stack –

·         Web application firewall (WAF)

Each new location enhances performance, strengthens resilience, and ensures that an organization stays protected wherever it operates.
