I'll add a bit more info...

1. Full capabilities of Horizon Playblocks indeed require a subscription (which isn't too expensive and easy to purchase 😉).
2. Having said that, we currently intend to provide the "expert login" notifications (up to a reasonable volume) without an additional license. The reasoning is that we believe it's very important that customers be aware of these occurrences.
3. The notifications rely on the gateway's ability to send a new type of audit log whenever expert mode login is performed on the gateway. These audit logs were added to GAIA from R80.40 and up (starting from a certain JHF).
4. The requirement for R81 on the gateway is for enforcement capabilities such as dynamically blocking external attackers that triggered a playbook by causing malicious activity.

So bottom line, we welcome all customers to connect to the cloud and activate these notifications. We're also adding some new options for better management of notifications when they come at high rates.

We also welcome you to experiment with the full Playblocks feature set during trial and make an informed decision if the value justifies a purchase.
