Check Point Open Platform for Security (OPSEC) manages network security through an open, extensible management framework.

TippingPoint Advanced Threat Protection for Email integrates with Check Point OPSEC via the Suspicious Activities Monitoring (SAM) API.

The SAM API implements communications between the SAM client (TippingPoint Advanced Threat Protection for Email) and the Check Point firewall, which acts as a SAM Server. TippingPoint Advanced Threat Protection for Email uses the SAM API to request that the Check Point firewall take specified actions for certain connections.

For example, TippingPoint Advanced Threat Protection for Email may ask Check Point OPSEC to block a connection with a client that is attempting to issue illegal commands or repeatedly failing to log on.
