Infinity R80.10 "Cool Feature of the Day" - Content Awareness

[Moti]

A cool feature in Infinity R80.10 is the content awareness blade

The Content Awareness Blade provides visibility and enforcement based on the content transmitted in the data streams through the security gateway You can activate the Blade in conjunction with Application Control, URL Filtering, HTTPS inspection, Mobile Access, IPSec VPN and Identity Awareness

for more info on "content awareness blade" see  Introduction to Data Loss Prevention  and Creating an Access Control Policy

How is the content awareness functionality licensed? Is it a separate blade license or is it included in another blade?

[Moti]

It's bundled in any NGFW at no additional cost

Thanks Moti.

1. This needs updating (last page): https://www.checkpoint.com/downloads/product-related/comparison-chart/appliance-comparison-chart.pdf 

2. Is it a perpetual blade, like FW and IPSec VPN? The NGFW  Security Subscription Extension in the product catalog suggests that it is.

1. thanks for the comment, am sure we can add it to the list on page 9 of the chart to show it's included

2. yes, doesn't expire so safe to say it's perpetual

Hey Bob,

Um.... I guess it's low on the priority list but probably still should be updated 🙂

Cheers,
