Chapter 15: SMART Management and Subscription Services 445
Chapter 15
A Service Center provisions gateways with configurations, settings, and/or value-added
security services. Services are provided transparently over the Internet, without any need to
install additional software on the network computers behind the gateways.
The UTM-1 appliance can connect to the following types of Service Centers:
• Check Point's Security Management Architecture (SMART)
SMART management allows deploying and centrally managing a single security
policy on an unlimited number of UTM-1 appliances. Connecting to SMART
management is therefore recommended for enterprises.
• The SofaWare Security Management Portal (SMP)
Select service providers use the SMP to provide subscription-based security,
configuration, and networking services. For example, you can connect to an SMP in
order to receive such value-add services as firewall security updates, Web Filtering,
and Dynamic DNS.
This chapter explains how to connect your appliance to SMART management or to an
SMP.
Note: Although some procedures in this chapter specifically relate to the SMP, you
can use these same procedures to connect to and use SMART management.
