Nipper 2.8.0

New Nipper Device Support

The latest release of Nipper 2.8.0 contains a new plugin providing support for Check Point R80 devices which covers:
• Remote auditing of Check Point R80 devices
• The same scope of device information covered in the older Check Point Legacy audit which includes:
          o Basic device information
          o Network filtering
          o Authentication
          o IDS & IPS settings
          o Address translation settings
          o Services
          o Network addresses
• Functionality to select version R80 or Legacy by the user for a Check Point Nipper audit
• Support for Check Point R80 clusters and devices with multiple gateways
• Support for adding a Check Point R80 configuration as a manual file

Help Guides

• Our Nipper 2.8.0 update includes a new help guide on how to retrieve a manual configuration for a Check Point R80 device. The guide outlines how the configuration file must be generated from the responses to a series of API requests against the device. It also directs the user to tools that have been made available for generating the configuration file automatically, and to a detailed user guide for generating the configuration file manually.
