Check Point Software Technologies has announced its partnership with the Amazon Web Services (AWS) European Sovereign Cloud, positioning its Cloud Firewall offering as part of the newly launched independent cloud infrastructure designed specifically for European regulatory and data sovereignty requirements.
The integration enables European organizations to deploy Check Point’s prevention-first security solutions within an AWS-operated sovereign environment, ensuring that sensitive workloads remain within EU boundaries while maintaining full access to AWS services and capabilities.
Check Point Software Technologies is extending its security capabilities into the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, a fully independent cloud infrastructure designed to meet European data governance and compliance standards.
The sovereign cloud is operated entirely within the EU and is architecturally separate from existing AWS regions, while still providing access to core AWS services, APIs, and infrastructure innovations.
The partnership addresses growing demand among European enterprises and public sector organizations for cloud environments that align with strict regulatory frameworks. These include requirements for data residency, operational control, and legal jurisdiction within the European Union.
By offering its Cloud Firewall within this environment, Check Point enables organizations to secure cloud workloads without compromising sovereignty requirements or operational flexibility.
Check Point Software Technologies delivers a prevention-first security model that spans network, workload, and application layers. Within the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, this model provides consistent protection for distributed and hybrid environments.
The integration also leverages AI-driven threat intelligence and unified security architecture to help organizations detect and block advanced cyber threats across complex cloud infrastructures.
The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is designed to support European organizations seeking to modernize infrastructure while maintaining control over sensitive data. It offers the same service portfolio, performance, and developer experience as standard AWS regions, but with enhanced sovereignty controls.
According to Check Point leadership, the partnership enables customers to accelerate digital transformation while meeting strict compliance requirements across regulated industries.
“The AWS European Sovereign Cloud represents a significant step forward for organisations operating under EU regulatory frameworks. Check Point's Cloud Firewall solution on this independent cloud infrastructure enables our customers to run their most sensitive workloads with operational autonomy and data residency entirely within the EU. With Check Point's prevention-first security and AI-powered threat intelligence, plus the sovereignty controls and technical assurances of AWS, we're delivering the compliance support and innovation our customers need to accelerate their digital transformation while meeting stringent regulatory requirements.”
