The following terms are used in this guide:

enforcement point.
 Security Policy: The policy created by the system administrator that regulates the flow of incoming and
outgoing communication.
 Security Management Server: The server used by the system administrator to manage the security
policy. The organization’s databases and security policies are stored on the Security Management
Server and downloaded to the gateway.
 SmartConsole: GUI applications that are used to manage various aspects of security policy
enforcement. For example, SmartView Tracker is a SmartConsole application that manages logs.
 SmartDashboard: A SmartConsole GUI application that is used by the system administrator to create
and manage the security policy.
 Locally Managed Deployment: When all Check Point components responsible for both the
management and enforcement of the security policy (the Security Management Server and the gateway)
are installed on the same machine.
 Centrally Managed Deployment: When the gateway and the Security Management Server are
installed on separate machines.
