How TigerGate Works

TigerGate provides modern cloud-native security with eBPF runtime monitoring, comprehensive code scanning, and 576+ cloud checks—all in one unified platform

1. Cloud Security (CSPM)

Scan AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and Kubernetes for misconfigurations with 576+ CIS benchmark checks—nearly double CloudGuard's coverage with automated remediation.

2. Code & Container Scanning

Unlike CloudGuard, TigerGate includes full SAST, SCA, secrets detection, and DAST scanning to secure your code before it reaches production.

3. eBPF Runtime Monitoring

TigerGate uses modern eBPF technology for kernel-level visibility, detecting zero-days and supply chain attacks that traditional monitoring misses.

The TigerGate Advantage

Why Teams Choose TigerGate Over CloudGuard

Get modern cloud-native security with comprehensive coverage and transparent pricing

Complete Code Security

TigerGate includes SAST, SCA, secrets scanning, and DAST—capabilities CloudGuard doesn't provide. Secure your code before deployment.

CloudGuard: No code security features

Modern eBPF Technology

TigerGate uses eBPF for kernel-level visibility with minimal overhead. CloudGuard relies on legacy agent technology with higher resource usage.

CloudGuard: Legacy agent-based monitoring

Transparent Pricing

Start at $499/month with clear, predictable pricing. CloudGuard requires enterprise licensing with complex pricing based on multiple factors.

CloudGuard: Complex enterprise licensing

Superior Cloud Coverage

576+ cloud security checks vs CloudGuard's 300+. TigerGate provides nearly double the coverage with comprehensive CIS benchmark compliance.

CloudGuard: 300+ checks

Cloud-Native Architecture

Purpose-built for cloud-native environments with modern technology stack. CloudGuard is adapted from Check Point's legacy security portfolio.

CloudGuard: Legacy portfolio adaptation

Easier Deployment

Deploy in minutes with flexible options: SaaS, self-hosted, or on-premise. CloudGuard requires complex enterprise setup and licensing.

CloudGuard: Complex enterprise deployment
"We were using CloudGuard but found it complex to manage and expensive to scale. TigerGate gave us better cloud coverage with 576+ checks, added code security and eBPF runtime monitoring, all at a fraction of the cost. The modern architecture and transparent pricing made the switch a no-brainer."

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about choosing TigerGate over CloudGuard

TigerGate provides superior cloud security coverage with 576+ CIS benchmark checks across AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and Kubernetes—nearly double CloudGuard's 300+ checks. We use modern scanning methodologies and provide comprehensive visibility into misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance violations.
TigerGate is purpose-built for cloud-native from the ground up with modern eBPF technology, microservices architecture, and Kubernetes-first design. CloudGuard is adapted from Check Point's legacy security portfolio and uses older agent-based technology with higher resource overhead.
Yes. TigerGate covers all of CloudGuard's cloud security capabilities while adding: (1) Superior cloud coverage (576+ vs 300+ checks), (2) Code security (SAST, SCA, secrets), (3) Modern eBPF runtime monitoring, (4) DAST and API testing, (5) AI/LLM security, (6) Transparent pricing. You get more complete security coverage with modern technology.
TigerGate offers transparent pricing starting at $499/month for startups. CloudGuard uses enterprise licensing with complex pricing based on workloads, features, and support tiers—typically requiring annual contracts. TigerGate provides predictable costs that scale with your team, not your cloud spend.
Yes. TigerGate supports AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud, and Kubernetes—the same clouds as CloudGuard. We provide multi-account/multi-project scanning, role assumption for cross-account access, compliance framework mapping, and more comprehensive coverage (576+ checks vs 300+).
TigerGate uses modern eBPF technology for kernel-level visibility with <3% CPU overhead and no kernel modules. CloudGuard uses legacy agent-based monitoring with higher resource usage. eBPF provides superior visibility for detecting zero-days, supply chain attacks, and runtime threats that traditional agents miss.
Yes. TigerGate offers flexible deployment options including self-hosted in your VPC or on-premise infrastructure, similar to CloudGuard. However, TigerGate's deployment is simpler with modern containerized architecture vs CloudGuard's complex enterprise setup requirements.
Most teams complete the migration in 2-3 days. TigerGate uses similar cloud API integrations and can import existing findings. Our modern architecture makes setup faster than CloudGuard. We provide migration support and can run parallel with CloudGuard during the transition.
