MicroNugget: How to Build a Check Point Network

In this video, Keith Barker covers how to build a Check Point network. Watch and see how to put the infrastructure for a Check Point network in place and get it ready to secure your networks, at endpoints, in the cloud, and on mobile.

Keith demonstrates how fast and easy it is to get a Check Point network up and running if you know the steps to follow. Start with installing the operating system called Gaia. With Gaia, you'll assign different roles to each server you've got connected to the network. Most networks are distributed, which means management takes place on one box and a gateway in a separate box. Then, from HTTPS, it's possible to configure the interfaces, as well as any routing that the network needs. The last step is downloading and using SmartConsole clients — with SmartDashboard, you can sit down at a Windows computer, set up the policies and rules in the management server and then push them to the gateway for enforcement once the network is ready.

“Once you install the operating system called GAiA, how do you tell these devices that you’re a manager and a firewall? ... primarily Smart Dashboard."
