Kemp Flowmon ADS and Check Point Integration: Automated incident detection and response

We have recently published a script for the integration of the Anomaly Detection System (ADS) with a Check Point firewall. This ensures automated threat detection and response where attackers are blocked from accessing the network resources and causing even further harm. The previous integration with Fortinet describes a way of stopping the attacker at the perimeter. The following use case is largely the same, except with a Check Point firewall instead.
