Hi CheckMates,
We are pleased to share that we have successfully mitigated the DigiCert certificate issue together with DigiCert’s engineering team. There is no need to urgently install a Hotfix on the Security Gateways.
Your Check Point Security Gateways using Site-to-Site VPN, Remote Access VPN, and Outbound HTTPS Inspection will continue to operate smoothly beyond the September 8, 2025 timeline, even without applying the hotfix in advance.
That said, our latest Jumbo Hotfix Accumulator changes the communication method from HTTP/1.0 to HTTP/1.1, ensuring long-term compatibility with all certificate authority services. We strongly recommend that you install it at your convenience. More details can be found here.
As always, we remain at your service and are here to support you with this or any other issue.
Thank you!
