This whitepaper introduces a prevention-first approach to cloud security designed to stop cyberattacks before they impact business operations. Traditional cloud security solutions often focus on detecting vulnerabilities or misconfigurations, but they may fail to prevent exploitation in real time. The CloudGuard platform addresses this gap by inspecting network traffic across multiple layers and enforcing security policies that block malicious activity as it occurs. A key concept presented in the paper is the Cloud Prevention Mesh, a distributed security architecture that protects cloud environments across network, transport, and application layers. By analyzing traffic moving both north-south and east-west across cloud infrastructure, organizations can detect and stop threats such as late
