Automated, Unified Security for Cloud-Native Infrastructure

CloudGuard Network Security delivers advanced threat prevention, consistent policy enforcement, and full-stack automation across private, public, and on-prem environments.

Infrastructure-Agnostic Security

One Policy Everywhere: Extend your existing firewall policy to cloud-native platforms using dynamic tags and objects, ensuring consistent enforcement across private cloud, public cloud, and on-premises firewalls.

Security That Scales

Effortless Enforcement for Dynamic Environments: Scaling policies automatically as workloads evolve with seamless integration into IaC and CI/CD workflows for dynamic deployment.

Prevent & Respond in Real Time

Stop Threats Before They Spread: Protect east-west and north-south traffic with advanced threat prevention and automate response actions using Infinity Playblocks to contain incidents as they happen.

• Real-Time Threat Prevention and Response
  Stop advanced threats before they impact your organization with IPS, sandboxing, and automated response playbooks that isolate assets and update policies.
• Consistent, Portable Policy Enforcement
  Define policies once and apply them across private cloud, public cloud, and on-prem, dynamically adapting to tags, metadata, and infrastructure changes.
• Segmentation Enforcement and East-West Protection
  Enforce application-level, user-aware controls inside private clouds with built-in support for segmentation and identity-aware inspection.
• Automated, Scalable Deployment
  Use Terraform, REST APIs, and SmartProvisioning to deploy and manage security at scale, integrated into CI/CD and DevOps workflows.
• Unified Visibility and Operational Control
  Gain real-time visibility and policy control across environments from a single console, with deep SIEM integration and dynamic object management.

Read the Solution Brief

Consistent. Scalable. Cloud-Ready.

CloudGuard Network Security provides comprehensive protection, encompassing IPS, DLP, Anti-Virus, Anti-Bot, and Threat Emulation and Extraction, along with rule-based object management across multiple platforms and tenants, as well as policy automation and centralized control across private cloud environments.

Security

• Blocks known and unknown threats at scale, protecting east-west and north-south traffic inside private clouds.
• Offers full-stack visibility and granular access control within and between virtualized workloads.
• Maintains consistent protection as infrastructure changes, without manual intervention across policy types.

Management

• Enforces consistent security across Quantum gateways and private cloud deployments from a single management plane.
• Automatically updates policies based on changes to private cloud infrastructure like Nutanix categories or vSphere folders.
• Ensures secure collaboration across business units and administrative teams through SSO and role-based access.

Deployment

• Simplifies rollout on VMware, Nutanix, OpenStack, and other private infrastructures using API-based integrations and template-driven provisioning.
• Integrates directly with your provisioning pipelines and automation tools, enabling consistent and repeatable security deployments.

Efficiency & Scale

Accelerate secure public cloud operations with dynamic object awareness, scalable gateway automation, and policy enforcement that evolves as your cloud environment grows.

• Infrastructure-Aware Policy Automation
  Continuously adapts security policies based on real-time updates to cloud-native tags, labels, and dynamic infrastructure metadata across AWS, Azure, GCP, and OCI.
• Built-In CI/CD and IaC Integration
  Supports Terraform, REST APIs, and automation tools like Ansible for zero-touch provisioning and GitOps workflows while maintaining consistent security at deployment time.
• Template-Driven Gateway Management at Scale
  Provision and manage gateways in public clouds using scalable templates and profiles, enabling platform teams to enforce at scale.

Visibility & Control

Gain centralized control and deep visibility into your multi-cloud infrastructure with dynamic object management, real-time event detection, and robust integrations.

• Unified Policy & Object Control
  Apply and manage consistent, reusable, and self-adapting policies across AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid environments from a single console or API with dynamic object syncing.
• Automated Event Triggers
  Use rules to detect cloud-specific behaviors or anomalies and trigger alerts, scripts, or remediation in real-time.
• SIEM and API Integration
  Integrate with your SIEM of choice, Splunk, QRadar, ArcSight, and more, using encrypted Syslog, JSON, LEEF, and REST APIs for full event pipeline coverage.

Resilience & Prevention

Block threats across public clouds before they cause damage with AI-driven prevention, elastic high availability, and automated response actions.

• Prevention-First Architecture
  Stop zero-days, malware, and exposed workloads with CVEs in real-time with IPS, sandboxing, content disarm, and ThreatCloud AI-powered analysis.
• Built-In Resilience at Scale
  Ensure always-on protection with cloud-native high availability using ElasticXL and secure, synchronized gateway clusters across availability zones.
• Automated Threat Response Across The Enterprise
  Uses Infinity Playblocks to isolate assets, block malicious activity, and update policies dynamically across the environment – from clouds to endpoints.
