Check Point WAF is a cloud-native Web, GenAI and API security solution that delivers AI-driven, preemptive protection against known and unknown threats without relying on signature updates. The platform combines two complementary ML engines — a supervised Attack-Indicator AI trained on millions of malicious and legitimate requests, and an unsupervised Context Analysis AI that continuously learns from real-time traffic patterns — to achieve high detection accuracy and minimal false positives. It provides real-time API protection with automatic schema validation, API discovery and tuning suggestions, and advanced file security that scans uploaded content and stops zero-day file threats. As a managed WAF-as-a-Service, it can be deployed quickly via declarative infra-as-code APIs and integrates with CI/CD and DevOps workflows. Additional capabilities include bot prevention, IPS coverage for thousands of web CVEs, multi-layer DDoS mitigation using global PoPs and a 24/7 DDoS response team, and built-in GenAI protections (including supervised models from Lakera) to prevent prompt injection, data leakage and AI misuse. The solution emphasizes low operational overhead with near-100% detection of attacks and near-zero false positives, enabling organizations to protect hybrid applications and APIs at scale.
