What is SIC (Secure Internal Communication)?

Answer»

SIC stands for Secure INTERNAL Communication. As the name suggests, SIC allows CheckPoint products and platforms to communicate securely. It establishes a trusted connection or status between a gateway, management server, and other CheckPoint components. A TRUST or SIC is required for the installation of policies on gateways and the transmission (sending) of LOGS between management servers and gateways. Check Point platforms and products authenticate each other using ONE of these SIC methods:

  • Certificates for authentication.
  • Standard-based TLS (Transport Layer Security) for creating secure channels.
  • 3DES (Data Encryption Standard) or AES128 (Advanced Encryption Standard) for encryption.
