Introduction to Quantum Spark Management

Welcome to Check Point's Quantum Spark Management application.

With Quantum Spark Management, you can:

  • Configure Security Policies: Set up and apply various security policies across multiple Spark Firewall gateways from a centralized location.

  • Manage VPN Connections: Oversee and configure VPN connections for different Spark Firewall gateways centrally.

  • Generate Reports: Produce network and security reports at scheduled intervals, incorporating data from all active Software Blades.

  • Search Logs: Efficiently search through logs for both the Quantum Spark Management Portal and individual Spark Firewall gateways.

Licensing

  • No additional license is required for Quantum Spark Management - it is included in the existing Spark Firewall gateway license.

  • If a Spark Firewall Appliance does not have a valid service contract, cloud-related features and capabilities are unavailable. In this state, the appliance displays invalid status messages (for example, "No service,” “License expired,” “Contract expired,” “No contract,” or “No License”). To restore these capabilities, associate the Appliance with a valid service contract.
