Virtual gateways for networks in public, private and hybrid clouds.
Overview
Virtual gateways for networks in public, private and hybrid clouds. Plan routes, segmentation, scale, workload identity and integration with automation. Check supported platforms and templates, licensing, infrastructure resources and traffic costs. Do not confuse this with the former CloudGuard CNAPP.
Technical specifications
| Scope and deployment | Cloud-native security gateway for public, private and hybrid environments, deployed in the path of the traffic flows to be inspected.Confirm the provider, region, supported template, version, interfaces, subnets and failure domains. |
|---|---|
| Topology and availability | Coverage depends on routing and segmentation for north-south and east-west traffic; HA and failover must be designed for the chosen platform.Test symmetric routes, health checks, failover, failback and maintenance impact. |
| Automation and management | The offering documents integration with IaC tools, APIs and CI/CD pipelines, as well as unified management and logging with on-premises environments.Define the automation identity, state, secrets, change review, logs and rollback. |
| Licensing and infrastructure | The official page offers a TCO assessment but does not publish a universal price for the architecture. Product entitlements and native provider resources must be inventoried separately for the selected design.Confirm the commercial model, supported instances, included blades and native costs from the selected provider. |
