Check Point Security Management

We are using Check Point Security Management  to manage multiple Check Point next-generation firewalls, enabling all these firewalls to be managed from the security management. For any configuration in the firewall, we manage it in Check Point Security Management  console, where we configure policies, new object creation, services, ports configuration, or any VPN configuration, and we push all the configuration from the security management.

The best features Check Point Security Management offers in my experience are the user interface and the logging service.

The user interface of Check Point Security Management is very understandable, and users can easily configure it. Additionally, every activity or traffic flow from our network gets logged in our security devices.

Once we deployed Check Point Security Management, the manageability and the reporting capabilities made our job easier. We are getting better visibility, and based on this visibility, we configure the policies. Since implementing Check Point Security Management, it has saved our time, and the configuration and troubleshooting processes are easy.

My main use case for Check Point Security Management  is to manage my security gateway.

A specific example of how I use Check Point Security Management  with my security gateway is that from the security management, we make changes in our security gateway. It is related to configuration, whether the security policy for the users on NATting, VPN, or security profiles. All this configuration, we push. Any modification needed in our current configuration security gateway, we normally push all this configuration from security management.

The best features that Check Point Security Management offers, which stand out to me the most, are logging and monitoring. The monitoring is exceptional as it provides consolidated logs, signals, and any alerts that come from the security gateway in real time.

The logging and monitoring help my team day to day by alerting us if any incident or event occurs, enabling us to detect and prevent threats within seconds.

Check Point Security Management has positively impacted my organization because with more than one security gateway in our organization, we are easily able to manage and configure our security gateway with the help of security management.

Check Point Security Management can be improved because for smaller organizations with only a single or a couple of devices, there is no need for the management. They are required to use the management system, which increases costs for smaller organizations. This aspect could be addressed.

I have been using Check Point Security Management for more than two years.

In my experience, Check Point Security Management is stable as I have not encountered any issues.

Check Point Security Management's scalability is good because it can handle growth easily, but it depends on the model. While I cannot say much on scalability, it is quite stable.

In terms of custom reporting, we generally generate reports such as top 10 or top 20 users consuming more bandwidth or top 10 risky users, helping us have visibility into users accessing malicious websites or security events that happened recently.

After deploying Check Point Security Management, we improved our productivity by integrating all devices into a single console instead of managing separate log-ins for each branch's gateways, making our admin team's tasks easier.

I have noticed that it has reduced errors because when configuring through the security management, a single configuration is pushed to all gateways, saving time and reducing mistakes.

It can be improved because sometimes it lags when accessing the management gateway.

I have been with my current organization for more than four years, and I have more than 10 years of experience in this field.
