Key Features and Benefits

Symantec Event Collector retrieves events that are generated by Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 and integrates these events into Symantec Enterprise Security Architecture (SESA). These events are stored in the SESA DataStore (a database), where you can view them in reports, configure them as the basis for alert notifications and incident creation, and configure them as raw data for report generation.

After you install Symantec Event Collector, the Check Point VPN-1/FireWall-1 product is SESA-integrated. When a product is SESA-integrated, you can use the Symantec management console to view the events that it forwards to SESA. The Symantec management console (or SESA console in SESA 1.1) provides a central location in which to view and manage the reporting of event data across multiple SESA-integrated security products.
