We have just completed a few new tutorials for Check Point. We used the Gaia Open Server R77 and the Smart Console. It's pretty slick, except for only running on Windows. Certainly better than the dated Java interface of the Cisco ASAs.

We covered how to add two-factor authentication to both IPSec VPNs and the Mobile Access SSL-VPN as well as something we always recommend: Requiring two-factor authentication for administrator access (privileged access management!). This was quite easy to setup on the Security Gateway, but you have to do it on a per-user basis. There appears to be no way to require an authentication type by group.

Special shout-out to my source for all things Check Point, Hurricane Labs! They got me the evaluation ISO for the lab and helped with questions along the way.
