Getting Started with CloudGuard
Before you can start to onboard cloud environments, configure policies, and monitor your environments, you must do these steps:
Step 1: Creating an Account in the Infinity Portal
Check Point Infinity Portal is a web-based interface that hosts the Check Point security SaaS services.
With Infinity Portal, you can manage and secure your IT infrastructures: networks, cloud, IoT, endpoints, and mobile devices.
To create an Infinity Portal account, see the Infinity Portal Administration Guide.

Important - The creation of new accounts from secure.dome9.com and its subdomains is not available. |
Step 2: Logging in to your account
For accounts registered on Dome9, log in to the account in your region:
