Solution Brief | Check Point WAF

Benefits

Real-time pre-emptive protection

Prevent advanced threats including OWASP Top-10 and zero-day attacks with ML-based

security without signature updates. For example, Check Point WAF successfully blocked

Log4Shell and Spring4Shell without any updates).

Precise detection

Check Point WAF reduces operational overhead by continuously adapting to evolving threats.

It delivers accurate detection with minimal false positives, eliminating the fine-tuning and

exception handling required by traditional WAFs.

Cloud native by design

Check Point WAF features CI/CD-friendly deployment and automation. From installation to

upgrades to configuration, Check Point WAF uses declarative infra-as-code APIs and

seamless DevOps integration.

Challenges

Security must evolve as attacks

become more sophisticated

As cyber threats rise, web applications, generative AI workloads, and

APIs have become prime targets. Web application firewalls (WAFs)

are a critical first line of defense, but modern attacks increasingly rely

on evasion methods, payload padding, and zero-day techniques

designed to bypass traditional signature-based WAFs.

In addition, according to a study by the Ponemon Insititute, only 40%

of organizations are satisfied with their traditional web application

firewalls, in part due to high false positives, high cost, and a reactive

approach to security. Today’s security requirements demand real-

time prevention with low (or ideally, no) false positives—and a

solution that can integrate with AWS services for streamlined,

effective prevention against these security issues.

Check Point WAF is a cloud-native web application, generative AI, and API security

solution that provides precise threat prevention using contextual AI to protect your apps

against known and unknown threats, without relying on signatures.

The Check Point WAF solution

Prevention-first unified AI-driven security

Check Point WAF is an automated solution that delivers superior

benefits of a top-tier WAF with generative AI, agentic AI, and API

protection, requiring minimal manual intervention. The AI engine

continuously learns the behavior of your application, tracking changes

throughout its lifecycle. This ensures a minimal false positive rate and

reduces tedious rule tuning after each application change.

Check Point WAF is also available as-a-Service. This version delivers

an agentless WAF that can be deployed in less than 15 minutes.

Traffic is effortlessly routed through Check Point servers, which

automatically issue SSL certificates. Upon redirection, any HTTP

requests are intercepted for inspection and forwarded to the

application only after validating their security.

Secure cloud-based applications,

generative and agentic AI, and APIs

Case Study:

Visiativ

The rise of bot and API cyber issues Visiativ reported a shocking rise in the number of security issues

using automated bots, as well as unauthorized users attempting to

deface customer websites and compromise APIs.

Features

Incoming requests are analyzed using two AI

engines. The attack-indicator AI engine is trained

on millions of malicious and legitimate requests,

identifying subtle variants for near-perfect

detection of zero-day threats. The content

analysis AI engine continuously learns from real-

time traffic patterns and adapts to each

application’s unique behavior, accurately

detecting anomalies and reducing false positives

to nearly zero.

Check Point

on AWS

Check Point is an AWS Software Partner. Check Point WAF enhances and

complements native AWS controls with AI-powered contextual analysis,

automated API schema, API gateway security, and structure awareness.

The solution preemptively blocks known and unknown threats including

padding evasion attacks, generative AI prompt injections and data leakage,

SQL injections, insecure direct object references, path traversal, cross-side

scripting, XXE, command execution, and many more unauthorized access

techniques. Check Point WAF can be easily deployed directly via the AWS

Marketplace, and its as-a-Service offering can be deployed in less than 15

minutes.

Real-time AI-powered protection

Check Point WAF features preemptive zero-day

protection, detecting and blocking unknown and

zero-day attacks such as Log4Shell and

Spring4Shell before signatures even exist. No

rule maintenance is needed, eliminating the

manual effort of tuning rules and signatures. And

Check Point WAF’s near-zero false positives

minimize operational overhead with contextual

detection that adapts over time.

Preemptive security, low overhead

Complete visibility and integration Visiativ customers receive complete visibility for early detection of

unauthorized users attempting to access applications and APIs.

Integrations with AWS services mean time savings for admins.

Pre-emptive protection After implementing Check Point WAF, the solution prevented a

Russian bot attempting unauthorized access on a Visiativ

customer’s e-commerce website. The security team praises Check

Point WAF’s ability to prevent security issues.
