Service - The service or protocol of the communication.Ĭonnections to computers inside of the organization, for example, all of the machines in the VPN domain of the Security Gateway, are automatically encrypted, even if the rule that lets them pass is an Accept rule.Destination - The user group and location for Inbound communications, or the IP address of Outbound communications.Source - The network object that initiates the communication.The rule defines what action to enforce on traffic that matches. Outbound rules - Enforced on connections that originate from the client computer.Įach rule defines traffic by source, destination, and service.Inbound rules - Enforced on connections going to the client computer.The Desktop Security Policy has Inbound and Outbound rules. Note - If you use Endpoint Security VPN as part of the Check Point Endpoint Security Suite, you can configure if your client Firewall comes from Desktop Security in SmartDashboard or SmartEndpoint.

Remote Access Client computers download their Desktop Security Policies from the Policy Server when they connect to the Security Gateway.Ĭlients enforce the Desktop Policy to accept, encrypt, or drop connections based on the Source, Destination, and Service. The Security Management Server downloads the Desktop Security Policy to a Policy Server, which is a feature that you enable on the Remote Access Security Gateway. You can assign rules to specified user groups or to all users. The administrator defines the Desktop Security Policy in the Desktop Rule Base in SmartDashboard. Desktop Security SolutionĬheck Point clients that include Desktop Security, such as Endpoint Security VPN, enforce a Desktop Security Policy on the client to give it Firewall protection. Therefore remote clients are vulnerable to attack.Īttackers can also use unprotected remote access clients to access the protected network, through the VPN tunnel. Remote clients are located outside of the protected network and traffic to the remote clients does not pass through the Security Gateways. Security Gateways enforce Security Policies on traffic that passes through the Security Gateways in the network. Avoiding Double Authentication for Policy Server
