I created a series of training videos posted at sk179544 documenting integration guidelines for the Identity Collector in on-premises Active Directory services.
The material is helpful to customers migrating away from AD Query due to Microsoft hardening DCOM services (see KB5004442 and sk176148). The changes rolled out by Microsoft as default from 14-June-2022 require Check Point Security Gateways using AD Query running software indicated in sk176148 or later.
The videos posted in sk179544 help achieving a more detailed understanding of identity based security and deploying a better identity centric security solution. The material enables engineers designing a security solution based on users and machines (instead of IP addresses) and making better use of resources, achieving a higher grade of resilience and scale when integrating to directory services.
You find material allowing to achieve a basic understanding of Identity Awareness in 10 minutes and acquiring detailed knowledge about AD Query and the Identity Collector. Senior engineers find guidelines given when observing the current identity security driven environment is not working as expected.
Enjoy and I am happy getting feedback to improve the material.
