We actually have corporate account for this and its super useful. I verified different fw vendors and suggestions they give on their website, its definitely accurate.

Best regards,

Any chance the CIS Windows 10 Enterprise JSON could be provided?

I would like to see if it can be applied to our Endpoints in detect mode as a compliance for workstations.

Unlikely since the scope here is the Compliance Blade for security gateways.

Comparatively Compliance Blade for Harmony Endpoint has different objectives, as does the Application Control function (App Whitelisting). Note Patch & Vulnerability Management are also available there as additional capabilities where relevant.

Chris makes a good point. Compliance blade is more related to firewalls, not endpoints.

Good day

Does this correspond to a specific ISO standard?

Thank you

These definitions for Compliance Blade are based on CIS Critical Security Controls V8.

Hi RobertoQ, Thanks for sharing CIS benchmark cybersecurity standards for Checkpoint COMPL.

I've tried to import the archive to compliance blade, but the cis benchmark checks have nothing to do with original CIS Check Point Firewall Benchmark v1.1.0 https://workbench.cisecurity.org/benchmarks/572.

Can you please clarify?

Many thanks

Maybe different version?

Hi,

CIS Benchmarks are standardized cybersecurity configuration guidelines developed by CIS, while CIS WorkBench is a platform that allows organizations to customize and manage benchmarks to fit their individual requirements.

CIS Benchmarks version 8 is implemented into Compliance (latest version). You may read the downloaded PDF file with samples of the requirements mapped to our Best Practices.

I hope it helps.

Perfect explanation Corinne. My company has corporate account for CIS benchmark site and I verified the info is indeed accurate.

Best,

Hi,

Thanks a lot for a detailed explanation. So if I understand it correctly this compliance was created based on CIS Critical Security Controls Version 8 (https://learn.cisecurity.org/CIS-Controls-v8-guide-pdf) which is focused mostly on cyber-security.

The one I mentioned earlier, Check Point Firewall Benchmark v1.1.0 (https://workbench.cisecurity.org/benchmarks/572) is moreless focused on establishing a secure configuration.

Many thanks

Hi, well to be more exact, Compliance blades checks how your organization complies to multiple regulatory frameworks (not just CIS benchmarks). You may check our Compliance Repository for the the latest regulatory mappings.

Thanks

Re: CIS Benchmarks

RobertoQ — Thu, 14 Nov 2024 21:21:30 GMT

Yes it works with those versions. There are instructions on how to import the .XML on the download here.
