Timeline {#Timeline} -------------------- As of February 2023: For a short period of time, both [legacy Quantum Spark Security Management Portal (SMP)](https://eu-1.spark-management.checkpoint.com) and the [new Quantum Spark Management](https://portal.checkpoint.com/dashboard/sparkmanagement) application in Infinity Portal will co-exist. Spark Management in Infinity Portal will eventually replace the legacy SMP. We highly recommend that you start using the new Spark Management application in Infinity Portal as soon as possible. * **Since 31 January 2023 (General Availability release):** * All new domains must be created in Infinity Portal (legacy domain requests will no longer be supported). * **By 01 May 2023:** * All existing domains must link their domain to an Infinity Portal account containing the Spark Management application. * Linking a domain has minimal effect on users. You can access the legacy Quantum Spark Security Management Portal (SMP) from both Infinity Portal and the legacy URL. * **By 01 June 2023:** * The legacy Quantum Spark Security Management Portal (SMP) will be closed. Only the new Spark Management application in Infinity Portal will be operational. Users are still able to use the link feature to link their domain in legacy SMP to a Quantum Spark Management tenant in Infinity Portal. Getting Started {#Getting_Started} ---------------------------------- * Users with an existing Security Management Portal (SMP) domain: 1. Create your account in Infinity Portal (if you do not already have one). For more information, see the [Infinity Portal Administration Guide](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Infinity_Portal/WebAdminGuides/EN/Infinity-Portal-Admin-Guide/Default.htm?cshid=ID015). 2. Configure administrators for the account in **Global Settings** \> **Users** (you can also do this later). 3. In the top left corner, click the **Menu** button \> in the ![](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/images/pillar-quantum.svg) **QUANTUM** section, click the **Spark Management** application. 4. Click "**Already have an existing domain**" and enter the required information in the form. 5. The domain will be linked within 3 days after verification, and you will be notified by email. * For a new Security Management Portal (SMP) domain: 1. Create your account in Infinity Portal (if you do not already have one). For more information, see the [Infinity Portal Administration Guide](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Infinity_Portal/WebAdminGuides/EN/Infinity-Portal-Admin-Guide/Default.htm?cshid=ID015). 2. Click the **Menu** button in the top left corner \> in the **Quantum** section, click the **Spark Management** application. 3. Click the **Get Started** button. ![](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/sc/SolutionsStatics/sk180467/SparkManagementGetStarted202212300823502.png) 4. The service is ready, and you can create plans and connect your Quantum Spark Gateways. Enhancements {#Enhancements} ---------------------------- * ### Single portal to manage Check Point cloud applications, now including Spark Management. * ### Users and tenant management * Users are now managed by Infinity Portal. * Easily navigate between multiple tenants. * Leverage Infinity Portal SSO authentication with a variety of identity providers: * ADFS * Microsoft Entra ID * Okta * OneLogin * Ping Identity * Google Workspace * Duo * and so on * ### Overview * Provides basic and useful data on the SMP service like connected Quantum Spark Gateways, plans, firmware, and more. * Each widget is "clickable", which makes it easy to navigate inside the application. * Includes Security Overview data based on logs from Quantum Spark Gateways. Example: ![](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/sc/SolutionsStatics/sk180467/SparkManagementOverview3012202212300830114.png) * ### New Logs Solution * Integration with LaaS and Datatube, the standard cloud solution for logs in Cloud applications. * New views available ("Access" view), and more will be added in the future. * Quick filters and statistics in the logs view. * More clearly defined link between logs and Quantum Spark Gateways: Right-click a log and navigate to the Quantum Spark Gateway to open its object. * Integration of Spark Management application with the Infinity Events application to provide an aggregated view across all Infinity Products. * Ability to export logs data to SIEM using the Datatube export feature. * ### New tenant onboarding * Creating a new Spark Management service is simple. You can create your own Spark Management service (domain). * No longer requires sending a request for a new domain and waiting for the domain to be created. Anyone with a tenant can create a Spark Management service. * ### SMP API use with Infinity Portal API Keys * The existing Security Management Portal (SMP) API will still be available. * There will be a separate technical guide for this. For more information, see [sk180651](https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk180651). Planned Features {#Planned_Features} ------------------------------------ * Operational Events integrated into the Quantum Spark Management application Dashboard. * MSP level tenant dashboard and management from SMP. * VPN Tunnel monitoring. * Cloud Backup \& Restore service for the Quantum Spark Security Gateway configuration. * Zero Touch Portal integration into Spark Management application. * Additional views: VPN Remote access, Active devices, and more. * "What's New" page. * UI refresh. * And many more! Stay tuned.

How can I connect to the Spark Management application in Infinity Portal? > Create a new account in the Infinity Portal or use an existing one. In the top left corner, click the **Menu** button \> in the **QUANTUM** section, click the **Spark Management** application. Use the option **Already have a domain**. > > The existing domain in SMP and the tenant in the Infinity Portal will be linked within two days after verification. * What impact, if any, does linking an existing SMP domain to Spark Management have? > None, as no migration is required. For a limited time period, both solutions can work in parallel: you can keep using your existing legacy SMP or the new Spark Management. See the "Timeline" section above. > > We encourage you to switch the workload to the application running in the Infinity Portal. In the future, this will serve as the only solution, and you can provide valuable feedback in the process. * Where can I configure users in the new Spark Management application? > In Infinity Portal, you configure the users in the **Global Settings** view \> **Users** page. See the [Infinity Portal Administration Guide](https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/Infinity_Portal/WebAdminGuides/EN/Infinity-Portal-Admin-Guide/Default.htm?cshid=ID032). * What are the supported regions? > The supported regions are the United States, the European Union (Ireland) and India.
