Teaching objectives
At the end of the training, the participant will be able to:
Understand the main processes on security management servers and security gateways
Use "Dynamic Layer" to add objects and rules directly to the gateway using the Gaia API
Describe how coreXL and secureXL technologies improve and optimize security gateway performance
Manage remote VPN access with the blade's "Mobile Access" options: IPSec and SSL
Implementing an ElasticXL cluster for high availability and load balancing

Intended audience
System/network/security administrators and engineers, technicians.

Prerequisites
Good knowledge of TCP/IP, IS security and the main Check Point functions, or knowledge equivalent to that provided by the CPG course. Experience desirable.
