Enforcement using Check Point Next-Generation Firewall

Overview

IPS delivers layer 3 network access control solution when deployed with Check Point Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW). IPS authenticates users, ensures that the endpoints meet security policies, and then dynamically updates the firewall enforcement point with the resulting user session information. Upon successful user authentication with IPS, the access to protected resources behind the firewall is based on the user identity, IP address, and user role information provided by IPS.

The IPS and Check Point firewall integration provides identity enabled layer 3 enforcement for BYOD, guests, and enterprise employees and protects corporate sensitive data from unauthenticated access and attacks.
