Studying for the CCSA and using the R80 study guide provided by Checkpoint. A few of the questions in 'Section 3, CHECK POINT SECURITY SOLUTIONS' ask about software blade packages. Where can I get a list and details regarding these packages?

Thanks. The official course book I have from Checkpoint is what confused me. It says 'Checkpoint Software Blade Packages' which is a collection of individual blades.

Yep no problem, as someone who teaches that class on a regular basis I am quite familiar with exactly what you were asking.  🙂
