Checkpoint ebook for beginners - CCSE R75 Session-01

As a beginner I would like you to be clear on few concepts explained below,

I have seen people who have device experience are not good at these concepts. So read carefully.

SVN – Secure virtual Network Architecture:

SVN allows us to configure and manage various components from a common point.  Consider you create a new policy where this SVN helps us to apply it throughout the organization and help to maintain the uniformity.

SVN helps us to maintain the security of four components in your organization like networks, host, users and applications.

Three tier Architecture:

Checkpoint works with three tier architecture and comprises of the below components

Smart Client – With which you create policies

Smart Server – Where the policies are stored

Enforcement Modules – Where the security rules are applied.

With this three tier architecture we keep the administration, management and enforcement as separate entities.

Once we are clear with these we can move on to the session where we you can learn the exact functionalities of the above components.
