Plea for Endpoint Security

Dear Check Point,

your Check Point Endpoint Security solution has become mature.

I know you didn't start as an original Endpoint Security company but you've done a great job advancing your Endpoint Security solution into a product that perfectly compliments your security portfolio. More and more traditional Check Point gateway security customers also purchase an Endpoint Security Management to be able to centrally manage their Endpoint security clients (even if it's sometimes just for VPN functionality) and create centralized SmartEvent reports for them.

However, sometimes I'm under the impression that you didn't realize how mature your Endpoint Security solution has become. Especially when it comes to release cycles. E82.55 was released in April 2020 and went out of support with the second subsequent major release of E84.00 in October 2020. This is just six months of support! Even E82.00 was just released a couple of months earlier (Nov. 2019). End users need longer support cycles to keep all their Endpoint clients updated!

Endpoint Security and Remote Access (E.xx versions) are still missing at your:

Releases Terminology -> Endpoint Recommendations can only be found on Endpoint Security Homepage
Release map
~~Upgrade map~~ -> Endpoint Security Client Supported Upgrade Paths
Gaia Health check script to check on log servers or Endpoint Security managements if unsupported clients connected during the last 30 days
SmartConsole What's New for SmartEndpoint
CPview diagnostics specifically for Endpoint Security Managements
Certification path, Endpoint Security was previously available as a certification (CCEPA, CCEPE), now it's only an ISA - Infinity Specialist Accreditation (CCES)

.. to be continued

I was today years old when I learned that end of support "Or, the second subsequent major product version has been released"

This is not a good solution when making time plans 😉

Thank you very much Danny for the positive feedback.

I understand the challenge you are raising and we are looking into this point.

It is definitely a valuable feedback.
