Explanation

The SMO (Security Management Orchestrator) Master role in a Check Point Maestro security group is dynamically assigned to the active SGM (Security Group Member) that has the lowest ID (usually SGM 1). If that SGM fails, the next available active SGM with the next lowest ID (e.g., SGM 2) automatically takes over the role, ensuring continuous management and orchestration of the security group without interruption to traffic flow.
