Hi list, I want to ask to list for the opinion on Checkpoints Smartdefense. For the past and current users , how enough/successfull do you find it as an ips for your enterprise? Do you use additional ids/ips if so what purposes and to monitor what segments/parts of your infrastructure.? And how do you deploy,manage Smartdefense? Regards
It's not very granular. It does consume a lot of resources on the firewall (you might not want that to happen). It's not very customizable. Don't even think of adding custom made signatures. It cost only a fraction of what would cost you a dedicated IPS (such as Proventia or Cisco IPS) if you already have Check Point VPN-1. Easy to implement, you only have to apply the signatures you want through SmartDashboard.
