Check Point FireWall-1’s Stateful Inspection architecture utilizes a unique,patented INSPECT™ Engine which enforces the security policy on the gateway on which it resides. The INSPECT Engine looks at all communication layers and extracts only the relevant data, enabling highly effi cient operation, support for a large number of protocols and applications, and easy extensibility to new applications and services.
The INSPECT Engine is programmable using Check Point’s powerful INSPECT
Language. This provides important system extensibility, allowing Check Point, as well as its technology partners and end users, to incorporate new applications, services, and protocols, without requiring new software to be loaded. For most new applications, including most custom applications developed by end users, the communication-related behavior of the new application can be incorporated simply by modifying one of FireWall-1’s built-in script templates via the graphical user interface. Even the most complex applications can be added quickly and easily via the INSPECT Language. Check Point provides an open application
programming interface (API) for third-party developers .
