Connect your Check Point Quantum firewall (Gaia OS) so Myrmex can read its configuration, audit its hardening, help you clean up policies, and — with approval — apply changes. Myrmex reaches the device over SSH through a Collector on your network, on demand — nothing is stored on the Myrmex side.

​
What Myrmex Can Do

Read & troubleshoot

Inspect system status, interfaces, routing, connections, access rules, NAT, and VPNs — read-only diagnostics, pulled live.

Hardening audit

Run a Security Posture audit against Gaia OS hardening controls.

Policy hygiene

Find shadowed, unused, or overly-permissive access rules and propose cleanups.

Backup & diff

Back up the configuration on demand and compare revisions over time; with approval, apply rule and VPN changes.

​
Before You Start

  • A Collector deployed on a network that can reach the firewall’s management IP over SSH. See Deploying the agent.
  • SSH reachable on the Gaia management interface (SSH is enabled by default; confirm the Collector’s IP is permitted).
  • An administrator account Myrmex can use to log in (a read-only role is enough for analysis; a read-write role is required to apply changes).

​
Step 1 — Create the Access Account on Check Point

1

Allow SSH to the management interface

SSH is enabled by default on Gaia. In the Gaia Portal, confirm the Collector’s IP is allowed to reach the management interface (allowed clients / access settings).
2

Create a role (optional, recommended)

In Gaia Portal → User Management → Roles, create a role scoped to what Myrmex should do — read-only for analysis, or read-write (adminRole) to allow changes.
3

Create the user

In Gaia Portal → User Management → Users, add a user with a strong password, assign the role above, and set the shell to the Gaia CLI (/etc/cli.sh) so commands run. Note the username and password — you’ll enter them in Myrmex.
Prefer least privilege: start with a read-only account, and only grant read-write once you want the agents to apply changes for you.

​
Step 2 — Add the Integration in Myrmex

From the Directory, choose Add Integration → Check Point Firewall, then fill in:

​
Connect

Click Connect to validate the SSH connection and finish. The firewall then appears under Environment → Integrations, and you can start asking the AI about it in the Workspace.
This integration is operated by the Integration Specialist agent, which runs the Gaia CLI on your behalf. Browse more connectors in the Integrations directory.
