Hi David,The firewalls are not configured to confuse the scanner. The configurations have been checked by the Checkpoint Tech Support and the Checkpoint SMEs from our team. This is not a mis-configuration issue and SYNdefender is disabled.

If the performance really does degrad to DoS levels then this is more likely a mis-configuration of one of their add-ons, not an actual bug. Have the settings for their IPS and SYN-Defender been checked carefully?
