If you have already seen my earlier posts, you will know all about the R82 Early Availability Program available here.

Each day over the coming weeks we will discover some of the planned new features on offer in R82:

Tools and Utilities

• ConnView – a new consolidated troubleshooting tool for viewing connections information on the Security Gateway that works in the User Space Firewall (USFW).
• New policy advisory tool “up_execute” (in the Expert mode), which performs virtual Access / NAT Rule Base execution. Given inputs based on logs or connections, the execution provides detailed information such as matched rules and classification information.

Please note all of these product features are in their early stages and at the discretion of Check Point could be removed from the final release.
