Key Topics:

Introduction to Check Point Technology
Describe Check Points unified approach to network management and the key elements of this architecture
Design a distributed environment using the network detailed in the course topology
Install the Security Gateway version R75 in a distributed environment using the network detailed in the course topology

Deployment Platforms
Given network specifications, perform a backup and restore the current Gateway installation from the command line
Identify critical files needed to purge or backup, import and export users and groups and add or delete administrators from the command line
Deploy Gateways using sysconfig and cpconfig from the Gateway command line

Introduction to the Security Policy
Given the network topology, create and configure network, host and gateway objects
Verify SIC establishment between the Security Management Server and the Gateway using SmartDashboard
Create a basic Rule Base in SmartDashboard that includes permissions for administrative users, external services, and LAN outbound use
Configure NAT rules on Web and Gateway servers
Evaluate existing policies and optimise the rules based on current corporate requirements
Maintain the Security Management Server with scheduled backups and policy versions to ensure seamless upgrades with minimal downtime

Monitoring Traffic and Connections
Use Queries in SmartView Tracker to monitor IPS and common network traffic and troubleshoot events using packet data
Using packet data on a given corporate network, generate reports, troubleshoot system and security issues, and ensure network functionality
Using SmartView Monitor, configure alerts and traffic counters, view a Gateways status, monitor suspicious activity rules, analyse tunnel activity and monitor remote user access based on corporate requirements

Using SmartUpdate
Monitor remote Gateways using SmartUpdate to evaluate the need for upgrades, new installations, and license modifications
Use SmartUpdate to apply upgrade packages to single or multiple VPN-1 Gateways
Upgrade and attach product licenses using SmartUpdate

User Management and Authentication
Centrally manage users to ensure only authenticated users securely access the corporate network either locally or remotely
Manage users to access the corporate LAN by using external databases

Identity Awareness
