The issue of network security has come up with our legal department. One more than one occasion I have sent fwinfo, tcpdump, fw -debug, network diagrams and other configuration files/information to the Checkpoint support engineers and the bench. The need to have a Checkpoint engineer actually GUI in to our firewall has come up a couple of times. In my opinion this information is sufficient for anyone knowledgeable with Checkpoint FW1 to hack into our network and access confidential data. Not to mention the possibility of someone intercepting this information as it traverses the Internet on its way to Checkpoint. We decided to get a Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement signed between CheckPoint and our company. However, Checkpoint refused to sign it and countered with their own Agreement which is presently in review. The issue that Checkpoint is based in Israel has been raised. A Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement may not protect our US Based company from the Israel based company. Questions: Do you think there is a real concern? What is your company's policy regarding firewall configuration and other confidential network information? Is there any information that you would not share with Checkpoint Support Engineers? Do you have a Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement in place? Thanks!
