Check Point Smart-1 Cloud
Check Point security management as a service.
Overview
Check Point security management as a service. It enables policies, objects and logs to be managed in a SaaS architecture. There are differences from on-premises management: validate features, region, retention, connectivity and responsibilities before migrating.
Technical specifications
| Delivery model | Security management service hosted in the Check Point Portal. The documented workflow includes creating the environment, accessing the streamed SmartConsole and connecting gateways or clusters.Confirm the portal account, available region, gateway connectivity and SmartConsole access method. |
|---|---|
| Management and operations | The environment manages gateways, Access Control and Threat Prevention policies, HTTPS Inspection, logs and events; the gateway continues to enforce policy on traffic.Map policy publication, administration, logs, SIEM forwarding and API use. |
| Documented portal limit | The documentation specifies one Smart-1 Cloud environment per Check Point Portal account, although the same account can connect multiple self-hosted management servers.Confirm the account and tenant design before migration. |
| Migration and subscription scope | Migrating an existing management environment is a service-specific task; compatibility, retention, features and entitlements must not be assumed equivalent to on-premises management.Validate the source version, gateways, migrated data, retention, contract and rollback. |
