CloudGuard Network Security for Gateway Load Balancer, offered by Check Point Software Technologies, is used to deliver scalable, inline network security in cloud environments such as AWS. It integrates with Gateway Load Balancer to inspect traffic transparently without redesigning network architecture.

It provides advanced threat prevention, intrusion prevention (IPS), application control, and firewall capabilities for both north-south and east-west traffic. This helps organizations enforce consistent security policies across VPCs and hybrid environments. It is commonly deployed to secure high-throughput workloads while maintaining elasticity and auto-scaling in cloud-native architectures.
