CCSA R82 case studies

CCSA R82 · Put your knowledge to work in context.

The Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R82 is Check Point's foundational administrator credential. It certifies that you can install and manage a Security Management Server and Security Gateways, build and order a rule base, publish and install policy, and keep a deployment healthy day to day. It suits network and security administrators, SOC and NOC staff moving into firewall operations, and consultants who need a baseline before pursuing the advanced CCSE track. The R82 blueprint spans eight areas: management and deployment, SmartConsole operations, policy and rule base, NAT and routing, Identity Awareness, Application Control and URL Filtering, Threat Prevention and logging, and monitoring and troubleshooting. The CCSA R82 case studies are 5 cases and about 2,099 words.

NAT Ordering with Overlapping Encryption Domains

A Check Point R82 gateway sits between an internal network 10.10.0.0/16 and two partners. Partner A reaches an internal server farm at 10.10.5.0/24 and expects to see it as 192.168.100.0/24.

Identity Awareness Behind a Proxy

An R82 Security Gateway enforces Identity Awareness using AD Query plus Identity Agent on 800 workstations. Users in 10.20.0.0/16 reach the internet through an explicit HTTP/HTTPS proxy at 10.20.0.250; the gateway sees only the proxy IP as the source for all web traffic.
