Event Advisor for Check Point WAF-Intelligence and Efficiency for WAF Operations

[Vani]

Security teams spend too much time digging through raw logs, trying to understand what happened, why it was blocked, and whether they need to take action. That slows down triage, increases operational overhead, and makes false positives harder to spot.

The new Event Advisor capability by Check Point WAF (now in Tech Preview) fixes that instantly.

With a simple right-click on any CloudGuard WAF security log, Event Advisor gives you:

• A clear explanation of what happened
• Why the request was blocked
• Recommended next steps - act or safely ignore
• A quick “Report Misclassification” option to improve accuracy

Why this matters

Event Advisor transforms the way teams review WAF events. Instead of parsing signatures, attack indicators, or complex rule triggers, analysts get instant, human-readable insight. No guesswork. No digging. No escalation loops.

This means:

• Faster triage -understand an event in seconds, not minutes.
• Fewer false positives -clear explanations help teams validate real attacks vs. noise.
• Better collaboration -DevOps, SecOps, and App teams all see the same clear narrative.
• Higher confidence- recommended actions guide teams toward safer, more consistent decisions.

The problem it solves

Today, WAF logs are often dense, technical, and time-consuming to interpret. Security teams waste hours correlating patterns, verifying intent, and deciding whether a block is legitimate. Event Advisor eliminates that pain, It gives teams exactly what they need: context, clarity, and direction right where they need it, without switching screens or digging through documentation.

A smarter way to manage Check Point WAF

Think of Event Advisor as your built-in WAF analyst. Every event becomes something you can understand, explain, and act on instantly. If your team handles a high volume of WAF events or struggles with noisy logs and false positives, this feature will be a game-changer.

As a fully AI-driven platform, Check Point WAF continues to evolve on a prevention-first, it delivers 99.5% detection, near-zero false positives, and blocks attacks without relying on manual rules or signatures improving both security and operational efficiency.

Thats AMAZING! Will it be available for regular mgmt at any point or S1C? Or just WAF?

Hi,

This article is specifically referring to our CloudGuard WAF. For Smart1 and Smart1-Cloud we have the copilot integration.

Fair enough, thank you!
