Check Point Courses and Certifications

Check Point CCME Maestro Expert

The Check Point CCME Maestro Expert Course is a training program designed for participants interested in understanding and mastering Check Point Maestro Hyperscale technology. This course provides an in-depth understanding of the demand for scalable platforms and how Maestro leverages hyperscale technology to meet that demand. During the course, participants will learn the key features and components of the Maestro system, including the functions of SecurityGroups (SGs), Single Management Object (SMO), and SMOMaster. The types of interfaces present in a Maestro implementation and examples of VLAN configuration enhancements for uplink ports will be reviewed. Participants will gain hands-on experience in the initial Maestro implementation, deploying files to all components and specific components, and the importance of verifying changes using self-assessment tests. The course also covers Maestro traffic distribution and flow, as well as scenarios where Layer 4 distribution should be enabled. The course also focuses on the four main diagnostic tools and their usage, as well as how to use activity logs to troubleshoot the system and troubleshooting tools used at different OSI layers. Participants will learn the benefits of a Dual Orchestrator environment and how Dual Orchestrators work with Multiple Security Groups. This course helps prepare for the Check Point CCME Certification exam .
