Preemptive Protection

Blocks advanced threats before they occur, so MSPs manage fewer incidents.

Precise Detection

Cuts down false positives, saving MSPs time on manual configuration.

Cloud Native by Design Deploys fast with a clean proof-of- concept path. DNS-based routing, Kubernetes ingress, and on- premises options.

As businesses embrace cloud services, MSPs must protect their clients’ web applications and APIs. Sophisticated threats — SQL injection, cross-site scripting, bot attacks, zero day vulnerabilities — bring financial and reputational risks while straining MSP resources. Traditional WAFs, reliant on signature-based detection, produce many false positives and demand constant management and tuning.

Check Point WAF transforms web application and API security into a service MSPs can deliver at scale.

Powered by dual AI engines rather than signatures, it detects and blocks threats in real time, using machine learning and behavior analysis to spot anomalies — including zero day attacks. It adapts to emerging threats with low false positives — covering web application security, API security, bot mitigation, DDoS protection, and GenAI application security from a single console.

Check Point WAF — Key Benefits for MSPs Reduced Operational Costs Check Point WAF eliminates ongoing fine-tuning and complex configuration. With low false positives and less management overhead, MSPs can deliver strong security with less staff time.

Tiered Pricing and Flexible Business Model Pay-as-you-go pricing gives MSPs volume discounts — the more requests they handle, the lower the per-request cost.

Onboarding and Management Simplicity Check Point WAF manages cross-tenant accounts from one console. Customer onboarding takes five minutes — no agents, no changes to application code.

Sales and Technical Training The training program equips MSP sales teams to position Check Point WAF and technical staff to onboard and support clients.
