Is there any Pages in Checkpoint Site where we can verify the latest version of App & URL, IPS etc

Hope you are fine.

Is there any way that we can verify if the updated database version of the Checkpoint blades like Application control and Url Filtering, IPS, Anti-bot, Anti-Virus, Threat-Emulation in our Security Gateway and Management Server is aligned to the latest version?

For e.g. I have a security gateway with the r80.30 version and I want to know that the IPS database version updated in my gateway is the latest version or not.

Thank You.

I see every post, no need to tag me specifically. 🙂
These are from R81 SmartConsole, but these screens should also exist in R80.30:

From R80.20 gateways will update signatures independently of the management (in the past, this was not the case) unless you've specifically configured it not to.
URL Filtering in particular does not utilize a local database and requires Internet access to access our cloud for lookups.

Thanks for your reply,

I was aware of this "SmartConsole" but actually, my question was if there is any checkpoint website or portal where we can cross-verify that the same database version is shown in the smartconsole is the correct latest version.

Because we have faced an issue where there is a different database version for Application and URL blade in Checkpoint Primary Security Gateway and Secondary Security Gateway of the same cluster but both the security gateway is showing the latest version and the color is also green without any error or warning.

If there's a difference between the two, that might warrant a TAC case to understand why that is.
I don't believe we have a specific website that lists the latest version of each of the databases.
Most of the Threat Prevention blades and URL Filtering require cloud connectivity for full functionality.
Threat Emulation engine updates are listed here: https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solutionid=sk95235
For IPS, we have a mailing list you can subscribe to: https://www.checkpoint.com/defense/advisories/public/sdnews/
