Check Point’s Network Security as a Service inspects traffic from your branch office to the Internet with a cloud service that resides in one of these locations. So typically you would want to select the location of the cloud service with an option that is closest to the location of your site, in order to achieve the best performance. For some countries, most notably South America or the Middle East, the best choice for Location of the cloud service might be presence of a strong cross-country Internet link.
