Forge vs. Check Point

The reference setup behind our Check Point emulation

Forge emulates Check Point screens in the browser — nothing connects to a real gateway. This page lists every screen, the Check Point version and source it was compared against, and what it deliberately leaves out. Check Point is a trademark of Check Point Software Technologies; Forge is not affiliated or endorsed.

Emulation version 2.0 · 33 screens

Screen comparisons

Genuine Check Point documentation captures are shown beside Forge only when the compared scope is explicit. A related product screen does not count as a match.

Gaia Portal (classic)

Matched to the captured R82 Gaia Portal shell: navigation, toolbar, status area, overview layout, and search.

Central management console

Adjacent R82 SmartConsole chrome only. The vendor capture is Cyber Attack View; Forge shows Gateways & Servers, so this remains documented rather than matched.

How to read this

  • Only "V" screens were checked against a captured Check Point screen. Others follow documented workflows.
  • Banner and message wording is Forge's own unless marked as vendor wording.
  • When Forge's emulation changes, its version changes and older approved claims stop showing.
