## Solution

### We are happy to announce the new Autonomous Threat Prevention Management

* A whole **new way to manage your Threat Prevention Security Gateways**

* **Single Click Configuration** - The administrator just needs to choose one of the predefined types of networks for the Security Gateways to protect (Perimeter, Data Center East-West, Internal Network, Guest Network, Strict Security).

* **Automatic Configuration Updates** - Check Point automatically updates the profile and the customers **automatically** enjoy new features, advanced protections enabled (based on research and ongoing attacks) and other best practices.

* **Streamlines configuration and deployment** of policy profiles across your Security Gateways.

* Provides **simple and powerful customization** to serve your organization's needs.

* **Zero day-to-day** maintenance required from the administrator, while maintaining optimal security.

**Note** - In R81.10 Infinity Threat Prevention was renamed to Autonomous Threat Prevention.

### Can Customers/Check Point Personnel Enable it on their Own?

**YES** - Autonomous Threat Prevention is already available in:

* **R80.40** - See the instructions below (available only in the Early Availability mode).
* **R81** - See the instructions in the [R81 Threat Prevention Administration Guide](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R81_ThreatPrevention_AdminGuide/Default.htm).
* **R81.10** - See the instructions in the [R81.10 Threat Prevention Administration Guide](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81.10/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R81.10_ThreatPrevention_AdminGuide/Default.htm).

### FAQ

* Q: Do we need a special **license**?

  * A: No. You need the standard NGTP/NGTX licenses.

* Q: Does Autonomous Threat Prevention cause an impact on **performance**?

  * A: No, there is no change in Security Gateway engines, only the policy reader was changed. Relevant technologies are enabled by default according to the installed license.

* Q: Is a policy installation needed after Autonomous Threat Prevention updates itself?

  * A: No, a Security Gateway is updated automatically and does not require a policy installation, unless a customer overrides the policy with exceptions/file overrides.

* Q: What profile should I use if the same Security Gateway protects a perimeter, internal network, and a guest network?

  * A: **Recommended for Perimeter** is also the recommended profile **for multi-purposes protections**.

* Q: How can I check if a **specific IPS protection** is active?

  * A: According to the performance impact and severity shown in **Profiles Comparison**

* Q: How to decide what is the best profile to choose?

  * A: Click "**Help me decide**" to compare the profiles.
