IDS: Checkpoint SmartDefense

[Fergus Brooks <fergwa () gmail com>]

Hi all,

I am getting some mixed messages regarding this feature. 

1) Does it detect zero day attacks in real time and
recommend/implement remediation

2) How intelligent is it?

3) Is it difficult to configure & maintain?

4) Is this feature different on the Interspect and standard FW-1 boxes


Any comments and real world examples greatly appreciated!

Thanks & regards.
