Over the next several days, we will be making changes to the community to align with Check Point’s new product pillars (Hybrid Mesh, Workspace, AI Security, and Exposure Management).
This includes moving and combining some spaces, which may cause some issues with items appearing/disappearing from menus temporarily.
URLs to individual community posts will still work.
We will do our best to minimize disruptions during this process.

It’s not just about the sharing of technical knowledge, it’s about helping each other out, across cultures, across languages. Our CheckMates MVPs really embody this ethos and I thank ALL of our MVPs for being here and doing what you do.
Two in particular deserve special recognition as they've reached Diamond, our highest level in the program: @the_rock (Andy) nd @HeikoAnkenbrand!
- Heiko was recognized several times under our previous Champions program and continues to provide the community useful tools and information.
- Andy is probably the first person to exceed me in number of daily posts to the community. 🙂 This is because he is exceptionally willing to help other community members.
Can't wait to see what our community does in 2026!

They can be downloaded fine, but cannot be displayed with the built-in viewer.
We've reported to the community platform vendor and will update once this issue is fixed.
Note that many of you attach graphic files to post instead of including them inline.
Adding images inline makes it fair easier for fellow community members to help you, particularly in light of this issue.
To add images inline with your message, click on the camera icon above the text entry field in the message editor:
You will see a dialog similar to:
You can drag/drop photos as the screen suggests or click on the Choose Files button.
If the image is hosted elsewhere, you can add the direct URL for the image instead by clicking on URL on the top of the dialog.
There's also the hidden trick of pasting images from the clipboard, which can be done by clicking on the whitespace to the right of the grey box first.
Note that pasting an image directly in a message will result in an error.
Upload the files as appropriate, adjust formatting/size as needed, and click the Done button lower right.
This message was created with the above steps.

These posts are generated with help from our Infinity AI Copilot (the same one that's available on Support Center) using the subject and body of a topic post as the prompt.
No other data is sent to Infinity AI Copilot.
Based on the data returned from AI Copilot, a comment is added to the relevant post.
It includes a notice that the response came from Infinity AI Copilot.
Currently, this is being done in a controlled manner (i.e. triggered manually) on selected topic posts only.
In the future, we may extend and/or automate this functionality.
Your feedback is welcome.
