Portal News

• Look and feel – due to popular demand, we’ve aligned our portal with the Infinity Portal
• Revamped user authorizations model
  • User identification is now based on the user’s email
  • The Users tab now controls authorization to the domain – the user receives a new user registration email only the first time he’s added to the system
  • If you create multiple domains via the domain registration page (https://now.checkpoint.com/register/index.html), you will be able to access them all with a single certificate
• Monitored Domains
  • You can now create ‘subdomains’, with their own sentries, users, etc.
  • A user on the monitoring domain can see all monitored domains’ objects
  • Designed for MSSPs who monitor multiple customers, it can also be used by customers to partition their sentry estates
• System Events – a flexible logging and auditing facility provides easy troubleshooting and monitoring
• Analytics
  • Improved “Settings” tab allows you to define internal IP ranges (so they appear as circles instead of squares)
  • Threat Treemap – grouping detections by sector, subdomain, sentry, or threat category

Threat Intelligence Management (EA)

• Please reach out to Check Point R&D team for participation in the EA program
• Provides user interface for manual editing and bulk operations
• Includes support for STIX/TAXII Input Feeds
• Data Sets can also be delivered to gateways using the sk132193 Custom Intelligence Feeds facility
