Configuring Check Point Firewall Connectors

You can connect Stellar Cyber to firewalls so that you can quickly and easily implement firewall rules on those firewalls from within Stellar Cyber, while you are threat hunting.

Check Point integration with Stellar Cyber provides real-time visibility into network security events and enables automated incident response workflows to contain and mitigate threats.

You can configure firewall actions or manually trigger the Block IP firewall action from the event display.

Configuring a Check Point Firewall Connector

To add a new Check Point firewall connector in Stellar Cyber:

1. Log in to Stellar Cyber.

2. Click System | Connectors (under Integrations). The Connector Overview appears.

   

3. Click Create. The General tab of the Add Connector screen appears. The information on this tab cannot be changed after you add the connector.

   

   The asterisk (*) indicates a required field.

4. Choose Firewall from the Category drop-down.

5. Choose Check Point from the Type drop-down.

6. For this connector, the supported Function is Respond, which is enabled already.

7. Enter a Name.

   Notes:

   • This field does not accept multibyte characters.
   • It is recommended that you follow a naming convention such as tenantname-connectortype.

8. Choose a Tenant Name. The Interflow records created by this connector include this tenant name.

9. Choose the device on which to run the connector.

   • Certain connectors can be run on either a Sensor or a Data Processor. The available devices are displayed in the Run On menu. If you want to associate your collector with a sensor, you must have configured that sensor prior to configuring the connector or you will not be able to select it during initial configuration. If you select Data Processor, you will need to associate the connector with a Data Analyzer profile as a separate step. That step is not required for a sensor, which is configured with only one possible profile.

   • If the device you're connecting to is on premises, we recommend you run on the local sensor. If you're connecting to a cloud service, we recommend you run on the DP.

10. Click Next. The Configuration tab appears.

    

    The asterisk (*) indicates a required field.

11. Enter the User Name to log in to the firewall.

12. Enter the Password to log in to the firewall.

13. Enter the Device IP Address of the Check Point firewall instance.

14. Enter the Device Port, for example 443.

15. Enter the Source IP Group to which to add the IP address.

16. Enter the Destination IP Group to which to add the IP address.

17. Enter the Domain.

18. Enter the Policy Package Name.

19. Click Next. The final confirmation tab appears.

    

20. Click Submit.

The new firewall connector is immediately active.

Testing the Connector

When you add (or edit) a connector, we recommend that you run a test to validate the connectivity parameters you entered. (The test validates authentication and connectivity).

1. Click System | Connectors (under Integrations). The Connector Overview appears.

   

2. Locate the connector by name that you added, or modified, or that you want to test.

3. Click Test at the right side of that row. The test runs immediately.

   Note that you may run only one test at a time.
