| Compliance Alert         | Check Point's Compliance blade architecture allows us to pull notifications and identify areas of vulnerability. Our alerts are updated in line with changes and improvements from our compliance team. | * Each cluster must have "Enable extended cluster Anti-Spoofing" enabled. * The Threat Emulation engine should be updated at least every two hours.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| Compliance Best Practice | Check Point's Compliance blade architecture allows us to pull notifications and identify areas of vulnerability. Our alerts are updated in line with changes and improvements from our compliance team. | Each Gateway should send its Firewall logs to a log server. * If it is a standalone Gateway, this Best Practice is automatically passed. * If the Gateway is connected to a single Management Server, the checkbox "send gateway logs and alerts to server" must be checked. * If the Gateway is connected to multiple Management Servers, at least one must be specified. |

Within the above categories, PRO also monitors and reports on some key performance metrics.  
For example:  

* Memory and CPU gradual increases (reviewing over three-week period)
* Anomaly reporting, memory/CPU/throughput
* High memory/High CPU
* Failed memory allocations
* Multi-core CPU percentages
