What is our primary use case?
Check Point Infinity Portal is currently used for
Harmony Email and Collaborations.
Harmony Email and Collaborations can only be accessed through
Check Point Infinity Portal, which is one of Check Point Infinity's products.
Check Point Infinity Portal offers a centralized platform for different Check Point products, such as Quantum and CloudGuard. You can integrate all of the products and use them from a single platform.
Having everything integrated in one place makes it easier because you don't have to access everything from separate software. For example, you would normally require a different SmartConsole server to push policies to Check Point's next generation firewall. If you integrate Smart-1 Cloud, you can manage it from Check Point Infinity Portal, as well as mobile device management, Harmony Email and Collaborations, and Check Point Infinity Playblocks.
What is most valuable?
Check Point Infinity has impacted our organization positively because we went through a trial phase for Check Point Infinity Playblocks. If it violates a certain rule, then the malicious IP would be blocked, which allows you to create a customized rule.
We have seen a faster response time and reduced effort from the network and security engineers while going through logs. They don't have to go through logs that block, and we also get insight into how many people from which country are targeting our servers. This kind of insight is available beforehand without digging into logs from our email address.
Since the automation is in place, there is less time needed and fewer engineers are required to check the logs, as well as report incidents and generate logs.
What needs improvement?
Check Point Infinity should have its own cloud rather than just relying on
AWS and
Azure. The reason for this is that it only depends on
AWS and
Azure. If something were to happen to AWS and Azure, our system would also be affected, our mail flow would be affected, and everything would be affected. It should only be dependent on Check Point for this.
One point that led to the nine rating was an incident about two months ago where our inbound and outbound mail were going to quarantine and we could not do anything. We did not get any response from the Check Point team indicating that there was a problem with the HEC, when there actually was one. There needs to be an improvement for this.
