Microsoft outlines their requirements further here:

virtual-desktop/safe-url-list

protect-windows-virtual-desktop

(Application Control, URL Filtering with Domain & Updateable objects in the Check Point Access Policy will help you here in combination with additional NGFW / Advanced Threat Prevention capabilities to protect user traffic).

For additional information regarding deploying CloudGuard IaaS for Azure please refer:

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply. This means that only outbound flow could be protected via check point. Where we can create user based policies and filter traffic.
Including the inbound sessions that wvd server tries to achieve when setting up the connections to safe urls.
