If you read the release notes, and nothing there impacts you
immediately, then it's going to depend on your past experiences, and
your corporate policy as to whether you want to, or should implement the
patch. Personally I like to keep my boxes updated, however, sometimes
adding a new patch can break things too. Hope this helps.

Subject: [FW-1] Approach to hot fixes?

Just curious...

Do you regularly keep your firewalls up to date with the Check Point hot
fixes?  Or do you wait for the need?  For example I'm currently on
HFA-04, but HFA-08 is out.  I've read the release notes on HFA-08 and
don't see anything that would immediately impact me, so I don't think
there's a pressing need to put HFA-08 on it.

But is it a "best practice" to always apply the latest HFA?
