An event is a notification that something significant has occurred on a Check Point product or network. Events are generated by various sources, such as blades, gateways, servers, SmartEvent, etc. You can view and manage events in SmartConsole by using the Events tab in the Logs & Monitor view. Selecting an event displays its configurable properties in the Detail pane and a description of the event in the Description pane. The configurable properties include:

• Severity: The level of importance or urgency of the event. You can change the severity of an event by selecting a different value from the drop-down list.
• Automatic reactions: The actions that are triggered when an event occurs. You can add, edit, or delete automatic reactions for an event by clicking on the + icon or the pencil icon.
• Threshold: The minimum number or frequency of occurrences of an event that triggers an automatic reaction. You can change the threshold of an event by entering a different value in the text box.

The policy is not an option to adjust or configure for an event. The policy is a set of rules that define how to handle events based on their source, type, severity, etc. You can create and manage policies in SmartEvent by using the Policies tab in the Logs & Monitor view.

In R81, spoofing is defined as a method of making packets appear as if they come from an authorized IP address. Spoofing can be used by attackers to bypass security policies or hide their identity. Check Point firewalls use anti-spoofing mechanisms to prevent spoofed packets from entering or leaving the network. References: Security Gateway R81 Administration Guide:
