This procedure helps you to connect your Check Point via SIEM to the Expel Workbench. The procedure is to port in logs by creating a new Syslog source, configuring that source in Workbench, then your Check Point via SIEM device in Workbench.
Note
Some steps in this procedure vary greatly depending upon the SIEM-based technology you use.
