It provides the best protection against cyberattacks, including ransomware, malware, and other types of threats. The device enables multiple networks to communicate with one another in accordance with defined security policies. It is a barrier that sits between private internal networks and the public Internet. Checkpoint offers an architecture that secures all networks and clouds against any targeted attack. • Item Description • 1 Internal and External Networks • 2 Security Gateway • 3 SecurityDashboard • 4 Security Management Server • 5 Internal Network • What is the 3-tier architecture component of Checkpoint Firewall? • • Security Gateway (FW): A device that acts as a cyberbarrier, preventing the entry of unauthorized traffic into an organization's network. It enforces an organization's security policy, functions as an entry point for a LAN (Local area network), and is managed by the Security Management Server. • • Security Dashboard: This is a Smart Console GUI (Graphical User Interface) application that system administrators can use to create and manage security policies. • • Security Management Server (SMS): The server that system administrators use to manage security policies. The security management system stores databases, security policies, and event logs of the organization. This component stores, manages and distributes security policies to Security Gateways. • State differences between Stand-alone Deployment and Distributed Deployment • What are different types of Checkpoints? • The following are some types of Checkpoints: • • Standard Checkpoint: This verifies a property value of an object in an application under test. All add-in environments support it. • • Bitmap Checkpoint: It can be used to check a bitmap of an image or the entire web page. Actual and expected images are compared pixel by pixel. • • Image Checkpoint: It is used to check the properties of a web image such as the source file location. Image Checkpoint does not check pixels as Bitmap Checkpoint does. • • Table Checkpoint: This allows you to dynamically check the contents of cells within a table (grid) that is displayed in your environment. Various table properties, such as row height and cell width, can also be checked. • • Text Checkpoint: This is used to check expected text in web pages and applications. It could be a small portion of text displayed or a specific area/region of the application. • 5. What do you mean by Checkpoint SecureXL, ClusterXL and CoreXL? • • SecureXL (Secure acceleration): With SecureXL, you can maximize the performance of the Firewall without compromising security. Using SecureXL on a Security Gateway, several CPU-intensive operations can be processed or handled by virtualized software rather than the firewall kernel. In this manner, the Firewall can better inspect and process connections more efficiently, as well as accelerate the throughput and connection rate. • • ClusterXL (Smart load balancing): ClusterXL involves a set (cluster) of identical Check Point Security Gateways which can be connected in a way that if one (Security Gateway) fails, another replaces it immediately. ClusterXL maintains business continuity through high availability and load sharing. Whenever the gateway or network goes down, the connection is seamlessly redirected to the backups, which ensures business continuity. ClusterXL distributes traffic among clusters of redundant gateways, thereby combining the processing power of multiple machines to increase overall performance or throughput. • • CoreXL (Multicore acceleration): When CoreXL is enabled on a Security Gateway, the Firewall kernel is replicated multiple times and each replica (instance) runs on a single processor core. All instances are complete firewall kernels that handle and inspect traffic concurrently, thereby enhancing security gateway performance. Each Firewall instance processes traffic through the same interfaces and applies the same gateway security policies. High security and high performance are achieved simultaneously with CoreXL. • What do you mean by Checkpoint software blades? • It can be defined as an independent, modular, and centrally managed security building block, which allows an organization to customize a security configuration tailored to their needs in terms of protection and investment. It is easy to enable and configure Software Blades on any gateway or management system simply by clicking a mouse button - no additional hardware, firmware, or driver upgrade is needed. • • Explain the usage of SmartLog and SmartEvent Software Blade
