Check Point Software Technologies Ltd. has announced it is a partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, a new independent cloud for Europe.
Check Point’s Cloud Firewall offering is now available on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, further supporting customers in Europe. Check Point solutions deliver prevention-first security across network, workload, and application layers, while providing customers with the same availability and performance they expect from Amazon Web Services (AWS). Availability on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud enables European organisations to meet stringent operational autonomy and data residency requirements within the European Union.
The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is a fully featured, independently operated sovereign cloud backed by strong technical controls, sovereign assurances, and legal protections designed to meet the needs of European governments and enterprises. The AWS European Sovereign Cloud infrastructure is entirely located within the EU and operates independently from existing AWS Regions. Customers using the AWS European Sovereign Cloud benefit from the full power of AWS including the same service portfolio, security, availability, performance, familiar architecture, APIs, and innovations such as the AWS Nitro System.
“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.”
— Joaquin Reixa, Vice President, Western Europe, Check Point Software Technologies
