Centralized management appliance for Check Point security gateways
Check Point Smart-1
Check Point Smart-1 is a security management appliance that supports Check Point products and meets performance requirements ranging from small-scale to large-scale environments. Using SmartConsole, administrators can centrally manage and monitor security policies, logs, and events from a single, unified console.
With Check Point Smart-1, you can manage up to 500 gateways, or up to 10,000 gateways in a multi-domain environment, and divide the management environment into up to 200 independent domains. It also provides real-time security threat detection and scalability for future expansion.

Key features of Check Point Smart-1
-
Centralized management of multiple gateway appliances
Check Point Smart-1 consolidates the management of security capabilities, logs, and events on a dedicated appliance, enabling centralized management and monitoring through a single, unified console. Policies for security capabilities including firewall, IPS, antivirus, anti-bot, threat emulation, URL filtering, and application control can be configured and monitored using SmartConsole.
It also provides capabilities such as log review, event tracking, report viewing, network activity monitoring, trend analysis, and centralized distribution of signatures and software updates. -
Instant Search Across Massive Volumes of Logs
All Check Point Smart-1 models include the unified security management console and SmartLog, a feature of the Logging & Status Software Blade. With full-text search, you can centrally track log information and security activities across all Software Blades.
SmartLog is a simple, intuitive search tool that works like a search engine. It can instantly locate the required information from billions of log records. This allows you to search any log field in real time and obtain detailed results without spending long hours on investigation. For proactive security investigations, you can perform in-depth analysis across multiple log files by specifying conditions such as period, gateway, domain, action, user, or geographic region. -
Base and Plus models
Check Point Smart-1 is available in Base and Plus models. Compared with the Base model, the Plus model supports twice as many managed gateways and twice the memory capacity.
In addition to choosing higher-end hardware, you can select either a Base or Plus model on the same hardware platform, enabling more flexible sizing to meet a wide range of deployment scenarios. -
Built-in multi-domain management
Smart-1 can segment security management into up to 200 independent domains.
By separating domains based on location, department, or security function, you can divide management authority and policies to strengthen security while simplifying administration. At the same time, you can centrally manage security across all domains while maintaining their independence. For example, using fine-grained role-based administration, you can separate duties for each security function while still centrally configuring and managing firewall, VPN, IPS, and other protections across all domains.
Smart-1 7000L, 7000XL, and 7000UL models come standard with the Global Policy Software Blade, which allows shared use of common baseline security settings and network topology across all domains to improve security consistency and strength.
In addition, on models that support multi-domain log management, log files can be stored separately per domain, improving overall network performance.
Deployment examples
Deployment example 1: Centralized management of multiple security gateways
Smart-1 provides centralized management for a wide range of security functions across both physical and virtual gateways.
Smart-1 provides centralized management for a wide range of security functions across both physical and virtual gateways.
Security policies, logs, and events are consolidated into a single dedicated appliance, reducing the operational burden on administrators while improving the efficiency of security management tasks and providing visibility into the security status of the entire network.
With Check Point’s integrated security management solution, Smart-1 enables centralized management of diverse security functions for both physical and virtual gateways.
Deployment example 2: Multi-tenant management
The multi-domain management capability allows you to segment security management into up to 200 independent domains.
You can define separate security policies and assign dedicated administrators for each domain, enhancing security while simplifying management. In a multi-tenant scenario, for example, policies and log storage can be isolated per tenant. By separating management traffic from log traffic, you can improve network performance and further strengthen both security and manageability across the environment.
