Management and Smart-1 Cloud Overview

Check Point's Management & Smart-1 Cloud is an innovative, all-encompassing security management solution hosted entirely in the cloud. This solution simplifies security management across all environments, including on-premises firewalls, networks, cloud services, mobile devices, and IoT systems.

Smart-1 Cloud provides a centralized cloud-based management console that helps you monitor and mitigate evolving threats across multiple devices and workloads. This solution scales automatically as the number of Security Gateways increases, eliminating concerns about physical storage constraints or log capacity limitations.

With Smart-1 Cloud, you can automate essential tasks such as Security Gateways onboarding, device monitoring, facility power management, and software updates, saving valuable time and resources.

Smart-1 Cloud makes sure you always have access to the latest features and security capabilities through automatic updates to your unified management platform, keeping you current with the newest security advancements.

Key Benefits

• Always the Latest Security Management
  • The newest features are automatically updated in your unified management platform.
• Zero Maintenance
  • No need to monitor or perform backup operations on your Security Management Server.
• On-demand Expansion
  • Seamlessly increase capacity to support more Security Gateways and additional storage needs.

Use Case

A typical use case is a company seeking to improve operational efficiency and reduce the complexity of their Security Management platform. With Smart-1 Cloud, companies can focus more on managing their core security rather than the underlying infrastructure.

Tasks like maintenance, software updates, security patches, backups, and system health monitoring - all consume significant time and resources. Additionally, as companies grow, they need to effectively scale their security solutions, often requiring new hardware purchases and complex migration processes. By shifting these IT management responsibilities to Smart-1 Cloud, companies can significantly enhance their security management while concentrating on their core business priorities.

Deploying a new Management Service in Smart-1 Cloud takes just one minute. Once deployment completes, you get a new Security Management Server instance running the latest version - immediately ready to connect with Security Gateways. Existing customers can easily migrate from their self-hosted environment to Smart-1 Cloud. After migration, you can resume work precisely where you left off with your self-hosted Security Management Server (see Migrate for more information).
