Who this book is for
This book is for those new to Check Point firewalls or those who are catching up to the current R81.10++ releases. Although intended for information/cybersecurity professionals with some experience in network or IT infrastructure security, it may also be helpful for IT professionals looking to shift their career focus to cybersecurity. Some familiarity with Linux and bash scripting is a plus.
It may also be useful for technical decision makers as a tool to take Check Point firewalls for a spin before committing resources to proof of concept or in anticipation of purchasing the product. Your security administrators will be better prepared for Proof of Concept (PoC) or implementation after reading it and building their own lab prior to undertaking formal training and certification.
