Technical Sessions
This is a small preliminary listing of our Technical Sessions.
In the coming weeks, we'll be filling this out much more thoroughly.
You may wish to look at our list of
Technical Sessions and
photos
from our conference last year in September.
As we get closer to the conference, we'll specify
a specific schedule for these sessions.
___201: Check Point Licensing and Version R70
| "How to migrate to the new "blades"
licensing model in a manner that will save you money,
optimize timing of the upgrades and help them achieve
the correct combination of Check Point technology to
accomplish their goals." There has always been
considerable confusion and mystery over Check Point
licensing schemes. The “new and simplified” blade
licensing is no different. While it is inevitable
that Check Point customers will have to move to blades
eventually, this talk addresses how to do so in an
optimal manner. Real world examples and advice
will be imparted to help Check Point customers save
money, time the upgrade optimally and arrive at the
correct combination of Check Point technology to achieve
their goals.
Come learn the current status of these licensing
changes from a reseller-based expert.

___202: Integrating Virtualization In To Your Check Point
Environment
| "Integrating Virtualization In To Your Check
Point Environment" Is your organization moving
towards virtualization? The push for greener solutions
that do more with less, has made people take a hard look
at a virtualization strategy for managing
infrastructure. Multi-core architectures have brought a
new level of power to the end users, but without the
software being specifically designed to take full
advantage of it, there is no perceivable benefit coming
from these systems. This presentation seeks to
demonstrate unique ways to not just ensure threat
management for a virtual infrastructure, but to also
leverage it as part of the infrastructure change. When
you take away the buzz, and the clouds abate, will you
be left with clear skies?
Duration: 80 minutes

many separate inspection steps and possible data paths. This
