Introducing the SMB appliance product, the embedded Gaia OS, and optional WiFi hotspot capabilities.

Understand the procedures for installing, upgrading, and maintaining the embedded Gaia OS

In this lesson we introduce the embedded Gaia logging facility

This presentation explains the major features and functionality available on the SMB Network Security product, including the User Awareness feature.

Check Point's clustering support allows for high availability of network services.

Enabling URL filtering of HTTPS connections, and enabling SSL Interception to decrypt the SSL tunnel and expose the data within to security policy inspection.

Learn how to move the SMB from local management to central management

In this lesson, the threat emulation feature is explained.  This feature allows unknown, potentially malicious files to be executed in a virtual "sandbox" environment in the cloud, monitoring for malicious activity to detect previously unknown threats.

Learn how the cloud-based SMP service enables unified management and monitoring of multiple SMB appliances deployed for multiple customers among multiple sites.

This lecture will demonstrate two very useful SMB deployment management features.

Learn how to configure and manage site to site VPN connections to enable secure connectivity between multiple locations, as well as remote access VPN connections to enable secure access to internal resources and services by users outside the office. In addition, learn how to use digitally signed certificates to securely authenticate site to site and remote access VPN connections.

The Watchtower mobile app, available for iOS and Android, permits a security administrator to monitor and manage SMB deployments from their mobile devices.

Voice over IP (VoIP) permits the deployment of scalable voice telecommunications over the Internet.  The SMB appliance may be configured to examine VoIP communication and control traffic to enforce security policy.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are a popular tool among cyber-criminals to force a target web site off of the Internet.  Learn how to mitigate these attacks on the SMB appliance.

Check Point provides multiple cloud-based services for SMB customers, including upgrades, threat prevention, and more. In addition, Software-Defined Wide Area Networking (SD-WAN) allows the SMB administrator to define custom routing based on application and other criteria.

The integrated Application Programming Interface (API) support on SMB appliances permits the busy security administrator to automate routine management and monitoring tasks, enabling complex orchestration of business workflows.

Procedures for troubleshooting and debugging issues with embedded Gaia OS are demonstrated.
