🔐 Check Point has been named a Leader in the GigaOm Radar for Cloud Network Security for the third consecutive year. CloudGuard Network Security delivers an open-garden, cloud-agnostic architecture with integrations across 22 public and private cloud vendors, enabling consistent policy enforcement and centralized controls. The solution is positioned for budget-minded IT teams seeking to reduce multi-cloud complexity, maintain geographic compliance, and mitigate AI-powered cyber threats by foreign actors through consolidated visibility and automation.

🛡️ In early December 2025 the React project disclosed a critical server-side vulnerability dubbed React2Shell (CVE-2025-55182) rated CVSS 10.0. The bug allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code by sending a specially crafted request to a vulnerable server feature. Check Point notes that CloudGuard WAF customers were proactively protected and not affected. Organizations should patch promptly and review traffic controls.

🔒 Check Point's new Quantum Firewall Software release, R82.10, extends a prevention-first security model across CloudGuard Network and Quantum Force Firewalls. The update unifies management, strengthens Zero Trust controls for hybrid mesh environments, and adds enforcement and telemetry designed to protect MCP servers, AI workloads, cloud assets and on-prem systems. It simplifies policy consistency and supports responsible AI adoption through data-aware controls and centralized governance.

🔒 The rise of generative AI introduces new attack surfaces that conventional security stacks were never designed to address. This post outlines how pairing CloudGuard WAF with Lakera's AI-risk controls creates layered protection by inspecting prompts, model interactions, and data flows at the application edge. The integrated solution aims to prevent prompt injection, sensitive-data leakage, and harmful content generation while maintaining application availability and performance.

🔒 Check Point expands CloudGuard to protect GenAI applications by extending the ML-driven, open-source CloudGuard WAF that learns from live traffic. The platform moves beyond traditional static WAFs to secure web interactions, APIs (REST, GraphQL) and model-integrated endpoints with continuous learning and high threat-prevention accuracy. This evolution targets modern attack surfaces introduced by generative AI workloads and APIs.
