CheckPoint (MDS) Multi-Domain Security Management is a centralized management solution for large-scale, distributed environments with many different network Domains. This best-of-breed solution is ideal for enterprises with many subsidiaries, branches, partners and networks. Multi-Domain Security Management is also an ideal solution for managed security service providers, cloud computing providers, and data centers.

Centralized management gives administrators the flexibility to manage polices for many diverse entities. Security policies should be applicable to the requirements of different departments, business units, branches and partners, balanced with enterprise-wide requirements.

CheckPoint (MDS) Multi-Domain Security Management can also be used for Local segregation of Duties of Firewall Administrators in a Multiple Office location setup. Each of the Office can be treated as a domain and a Firewall Administrator can be assigned for each Domain depending on the Location. Further more you can assign one or more Administrators to same domain and assign Read-Only, Read-Write or Customized Permission Profiles to each of the Administrators depending on the requirements.

A single Hardware which is sized appropriately serves up to 250 instances of Security Management Servers instances pertaining to each of the Domain. Global Domain Administrator can Manage Domains within the MDS server and carry out other Administrative tasks.
