2. Check Point Getting Started R80.20. Solution Architecture

Welcome to the second lesson! This time we’ll talk about the architectural features of Check Point solutions. This is a very important lesson, especially for those who first get acquainted with the “checkpoint”. In general, this lesson will be very similar to one of our previous articles, “ Check Point. What is it, what it is eaten with or briefly on the main thing ”. However, the content has been slightly redesigned and updated. At the end of the article you will find a video lesson. By looking at it you will find answers to the following questions:

• What network segments can Check Point protect?
• What is Security Gateway, Security Management Server, Smart Console?
• What does the process of changing Check Point settings look like?
• What Check Point operating systems exist?
• Which OS is FSTEC certified?
• Execution options for gateways and management server.
• Installation options (Standalone, Distributed).
• Modes of operation.
• Fault tolerance.
• What are software blades?
