# Datasheet | Check Point Managed Rules for AWS Network Firewall

Managing firewalls across multiple VPCs is challenging, keeping up with creating, maintaining, and updating all the rule sets. Depending on how many firewalls you have, manual rule deployment can take 20 hours per week or more. The growing number of firewalls require constant monitoring to protect against emerging threats and new attack vectors. This places a significant burden on scarce IT resources. To meet this challenge, Check Point and AWS have partnered to create Check Point Managed Rules for AWS Network Firewall to simplify scaling the deployment of advanced firewall rules and reduce management overhead. This service from Check Point provides expertly curated, pre-configured rule sets designed to detect and prevent malicious network activity. Check Point Managed Rules for AWS Network Firewall simplifies this process by providing pre-configured rule sets designed by Check Point ThreatCloud AI experts. Delivered directly through AWS Marketplace and automatically updated, these rules enhance protection, reduce manual effort, and strengthen your cloud security posture.

## How It Works
Check Point Partner Managed Rules are curated rule sets developed and maintained by Check Point Threat Cloud AI. These rules provide intrusion detection and prevention rules based on frameworks like Snort or Suricata. They’re distributed via AWS Marketplace, and you can subscribe to them just like other AWS Marketplace security products. Check Point Managed Rules for AWS prevent malicious attacks with broad coverage against evolving threats helping AWS customers maintain compliance, reduce manual effort, and strengthen their cloud security posture.

## Easy to Deploy
Once you subscribe with a few clicks, the managed rules appear as available rule groups in your AWS Network Firewall console. You can then:
- Add them to your firewall policy alongside your own custom rules.
- Configure priority (so Check Point rules can run before or after your own).
- Combine multiple rule groups in one firewall for layered protection.

### Example:
- Rule Group 1 – Check Point Managed Rules (threat prevention)  
- Rule Group 2 – Your organization’s custom allow/block policies.

## Billing & Licensing
Managed rules are sold as AWS Marketplace subscriptions, consumption based on total GigaBytes network traffic inspected, billed hourly or monthly.  
- Charges are added to your AWS bill.  
- No separate infrastructure deployment is required—rules are hosted and delivered via AWS.
