Well, the time has come. It is finally here. Launch day has been and gone, and I now have time to write my own blog article on an initiative I have been leading at Check Point.
Check Point Managed Rules for AWS Network Firewall
I have spent the past few months working with Check Point R&D and AWS Engineers and GTM teams to build this launch and integration. I am excited to see it showcased at AWS Re:Invent which is coming straight after thanksgiving.
What Are Check Point Managed Rules?
Check Point Managed Rules are pre-built, continually updated rule groups designed specifically for AWS Network Firewall. Instead of manually building and maintaining large rule sets, customers can subscribe to these managed rule groups and instantly apply Check Point’s threat research to their AWS environments.
This includes coverage across:
-
Known and emerging threats
-
Malware command-and-control detection
-
High-risk outbound traffic patterns
-
Suspicious domain and IP behaviour
-
Industry-specific compliance controls
All rules are maintained and updated by Check Point’s ThreatCloud AI engines, ensuring the policy always reflects current global threat intelligence.
Check Point Managed Rules for AWS Network Firewall offer a simple, powerful, easy way to deploy your network firewall rules. By combining AWS’s scalable network firewall with Check Point’s world-class threat intelligence, customers get stronger protection with significantly less operational effort.
If you’re looking to reduce risk, simplify your rule management, and ensure continuous coverage against evolving threats, Check Point Managed Rules represent a simple way to deploy and managed firewall rules, without all the extensive knowledge and dry eyes when looking at firewall rules.
This is great for people who just want to deploy a firewall, and not worry about what rules do I have to create.
How simple is it really?
Well, it is as simple as selecting the AWS Marketplace from the Network Firewall rule groups section with Network Firewall on the AWS VPC Console and clicking subscribe.

I am really proud of this joint initiative, it was a lot of work, but fun and interesting to have both GTM and Engineering teams align and build this great simple product for customers.
