Introduction to Multi-Domain Management

Check Point Multi-Domain Security Management is a centralized management solution for large-scale, distributed environments with many discrete network segments, each with different security requirements. This solution lets administrators create Domains based on geography, business units or security functions to strengthen security and simplify management.

Each Domain has its own Security Policies Collection of rules that control network traffic and enforce organization guidelines for data protection and access to resources with packet inspection., network objects and other configuration settings. You use the Global Domain for common security Policies that apply to all or to specified Domains. The Global Domain also includes network objects and other configuration settings that are common to all or to specified Domains.
