Check Point NGX exposes all APIs A bug in Check Point NGX
causes all the APIs to be exposed in the Status Viewer regardless of which
APIs are selected in the OPSEC application (for example CVP status
information is displayed in SmartView Monitor even though only AMON and UFP
are selected on the OPSEC Application). This is just a display issue
and does not affect the AMON functionality. Please see SurfControl KB
article #1715 for information on a workaround. |
