Check Point Brings Cloud Firewall to AWS European Sovereign Cloud

1 July 2026 at 07:59

Check Point Software has announced that its Cloud Firewall offering is now available on the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, as the cybersecurity giant becomes an official partner for Amazon’s new independent European cloud infrastructure.

The move is designed to help European organisations meet increasingly stringent data residency and operational autonomy requirements under EU regulatory frameworks, without sacrificing the performance and security capabilities they rely on from AWS.

The AWS European Sovereign Cloud is a fully featured, independently operated cloud environment backed by technical controls, sovereign assurances, and legal protections tailored to the needs of European governments and enterprises. Crucially, the infrastructure is located entirely within the EU and operates independently from existing AWS regions, a distinction that matters significantly for regulated industries handling sensitive workloads.

Check Point’s integration into the platform extends its prevention-first security model across network, workload, and application layers, with the company’s AI-powered threat intelligence carried over into the sovereign environment. Customers are promised the same availability and performance they would expect from standard AWS deployments, while gaining the added assurance of EU-based data sovereignty.

Joaquin Reixa, Vice President for Western Europe at Check Point Software Technologies, said the partnership addresses a growing compliance challenge for organisations operating under EU regulatory requirements. β€œCheck 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,” he said. β€œWith 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.”

The AWS European Sovereign Cloud offers customers access to the same service portfolio, APIs, and innovations as standard AWS regions, including the AWS Nitro System, while maintaining the independent operational structure required by many public-sector and enterprise customers in Europe.

The announcement comes at a time of heightened regulatory scrutiny around cloud infrastructure in the EU, with frameworks such as GDPR and evolving digital sovereignty legislation pushing organisations to demand greater transparency and control over where their data lives and who can access it.
