CheckMates in Your Language!

While most of the content on CheckMates is in English, we now have a few groups where both content and discussions are available in other languages!

Let us know if you want to have it in your native language as well.

While I had a week off the road for a change, Valeri Loukine‌ and Lillie Miller‌ were in Norway for their local CPX!

Next week, Niran Turgeman‌ and I will be at the CPX in Orange County, CA!

Here are the top threads of the past week or so:

Valeri Loukine‌ and I (but mostly Valeri) updated our "Getting Started" page, which should be helpful for people who are new to CheckMates.

I dusted off an old FAQ I wrote on Anti-Spoofing a couple decades ago and updated for current releases. And, of course, it prompted some questions

An oldie but goodie that comes up from time to time about the IPS Policy Layer when you're managing R77.x gateways from R80.x.

Can't be done via SmartConsole, but can be done on the CLI via cprid.

Apparently one does not need to reinstall the Remote Access client to change the "flavor"

More or less the same process for regular appliances as well.

Our integration with Splunk has improved!

Speaking of partner integrations, here's how you integrate Check Point R80.x with Tufin!

Another oldie but goodie: why did we move some of what were previously IPS protections to Inspection Settings.
