Gaia Hardening for R81

The document linked below describes the hardening of the Check Point Gaia operating system.
Components that are not necessary for a network security device, or that could cause security vulnerabilities, were removed.
Check Point Gaia R81 is based on Red Hat 7.6 version and the Linux kernel 3.10.0-957.
The applications removed from the operating system include X Windows, Office applications, games, and many other applications that are irrelevant to Firewall operations.
The document linked below describes the remaining packages and modifications to the system.

But there are still a lot of packages missing.
For example openssl. This package has been modified by Check Point.

I'm in this process and also using the following as reference:

Scroll through list for Checkpoint

Accepted internally by our security team as a valid approach.... maybe not definitive but good as a complement to any other sources.
