This independent practice set follows the seven modules in Check Point's exam prep guide. Topics on this exam: Management high availability, Advanced policy management, Site-to-site VPN, Advanced security monitoring, Gateway upgrades and hotfixes, Management upgrades and migration, and ElasticXL clusters.
