New in CheckMates Labs: IoT and SOAR

PhoneBoy

‎2021-01-22 11:17 AM

@Shay_Levin and the team have been busy cooking up some new things in CheckMates Labs for everyone:

  • IoT Security Solution: The IoT security solution is based on Discovery, Automatic security policy, and Enforcing that policy on a gateway. In this demo, you will see how we can connect to a pre-installed 3rd party asset provider, import assets and dynamic policies, and prevent attacks by enforcing the policy.
  • SOAR Demo with Siemplify and Check Point: Security Orchestration Automation Response lab
  • R81 Automation and Orchestration: How to use web services and the CLI to configure the security policy in R81 (replacing the previous R80.40-based demo).

These labs and more can be spun up on-demand in the cloud by CheckMates members with nothing more than a web browser (though access via RDP is recommended).
Each lab has a blueprint that walks you through step-by-step how to perform specific tasks and demonstrate the features and functionality of Check Point products.
No software to install 🙂

As always, we're always looking for new ways to help you learn, share, and inspire.
Feedback is welcome.
