Answer» Checkpoint components are based on a 3-tier technology architecture as follows: - Security GATEWAY (FW): A device that acts as a cyberbarrier, preventing the entry of unauthorized traffic into an organization's network. It enforces an organization's security policy, functions as an entry point for a LAN (Local AREA network), and is managed by the Security Management Server.
- Security Dashboard: This is a Smart Console GUI (Graphical User Interface) application that system ADMINISTRATORS can use to CREATE and manage security policies.
- Security Management Server (SMS): The server that system administrators use to manage security policies. The security management system stores databases, security policies, and event logs of the organization. This component stores, MANAGES and distributes security policies to Security Gateways.
