Explanation
In Check Point's security architecture, the Internal Certificate Authority (ICA) is automatically created during the initial installation of the primary Security Management Server. The ICA is integral to the management server and is used to issue certificates to Check Point gateways and clients for Secure Internal Communication (SIC). It is not manually created by an administrator, nor is it created upon certificate generation or at first SmartConsole login - it already exists by the time an administrator logs in.
