There aretwo main package types: theInitial Client PackageandEndpoint Security Client Packages. Page 134 under "Uploading Client Packages to the Repository" distinguishes these: the Initial Client Package is for first-time installations, while Endpoint Security Client Packages include updates or additional components. Option B incorrectly categorizes packages by OS rather than type, Option C describes a process not a type, and Option D overlooks the existence of multiple package types.

The Harmony Endpoint solution includes a capability calledCompliancethat ensures endpoint computers meet organizational security standards and allows administrators to assign varying security levels based on their compliance status. This is detailed in theCP_R81.20_Harmony_Endpoint_Server_AdminGuide.pdfonpage 20, under "Endpoint Security Client":

"Compliance: Allows you to enforce endpoint compliance on multiple checks before users log into the network. You can check that the appropriate endpoint security components are installed, correct OS service pack are installed on the endpoint, only approved applications are able to run on the endpoint, appropriate anti-malware product and version is running on the endpoint."

Further clarification is provided onpage 377, under "Compliance":

"The Compliance blade ensures that protected computers comply with your organization's requirements. You can assign different security levels according to the compliance state of the endpoint computer."

These extracts confirm thatCompliance Check(Option A) is the capability that verifies compliance and adjusts security levels accordingly, directly matching the question’s requirements.

The other options do not fit:

Option B ("Capsule Cloud Compliance"): "Capsule Cloud" is not referenced in the guide; it may be a misnomer or unrelated to this context.

Option C ("Forensics and Anti-Ransomware"): This focuses on threat analysis and ransomware prevention (page 329), not compliance enforcement.

Option D ("Full Disk Encryption"): This protects data via encryption (page 217) but does not manage compliance states or security levels.

Thus,Compliance Checkis the correct answer.

The Safe Search feature in Harmony Endpoint is intended to protect users by filtering out malicious or inappropriate content from search engine results. While specific documentation on supported search engines is not detailed here, it is standard for endpoint security solutions like Harmony Endpoint to support the most widely used search engines by default. These typically include Google, Bing, and Yahoo!, as they are the most common platforms where Safe Search functionality is applied.

Option A suggests additional support for Baidu, Yandex, Lycos, and Excite in cloud deployments, but there is no evidence to confirm these are supported, especially since Lycos and Excite are less prominent today. Option C limits support to Google and Bing for on-premises deployments, but there’s no indication that Safe Search functionality varies by deployment type. Option D includes OneSearch, which is less common and not typically associated with Harmony Endpoint’s Safe Search feature. Thus, the most accurate and likely answer is B. Google, Bing, and Yahoo!.

In Check Point's Harmony Endpoint, the "heartbeat" refers to a periodic connection initiated by the endpoint client to the Endpoint Security Management Server. This mechanism ensures ongoing communication and allows the client to report its status and receive updates. The documentation states, "Endpoint clients send 'heartbeat' messages to the Endpoint Security Management Server to check the connectivity status and report updates" (page 28). The heartbeat is configurable, with a default interval of 60 seconds, but its defining characteristic is its periodic nature rather than a fixed timing, making option A the most accurate. Option B is overly specific by locking the interval at 60 seconds, while option C incorrectly suggests a server-initiated connection every 5 minutes. Option D is incorrect, as the heartbeat is not random but scheduled. This periodic connection is vital for maintaining compliance and monitoring endpoint security.

According to Check Point documentation, the on-premises environment provides organizations with significantly greater control over product deployment and operation, including more extensive configuration options compared to a cloud-managed environment. Although this level of control is advantageous, it is also noted that it typically comes with higher support and maintenance costs.

Exact Extract from Official Document:

"On-premises environment offers more options for deployment, greater control over operations, but it is also more costly to support."

Endpoint Policy Servers (EPS) are integral to the Harmony Endpoint architecture, designed to optimize communication between Endpoint clients and the Endpoint Security Management Server (EMS). TheCP_R81.20_Harmony_Endpoint_Server_AdminGuide.pdfexplicitly defines their placement.

Onpage 25, under "Optional Endpoint Security Elements," the documentation states:

"Endpoint Policy Servers improve performance in large environments by managing most communication with the Endpoint Security clients. Managing the Endpoint Security client communication decreases the load on the Endpoint Security Management Server, and reduces the bandwidth required between sites."

This confirms that EPS are positionedbetween the Endpoint clients and the EMS, handling tasks like policy downloads, heartbeats, and updates to offload the EMS.Option Baccurately reflects this architecture.

Evaluating the other options:

Option A: "Between the Endpoint clients and the EPS" is nonsensical, as EPS (Endpoint Policy Servers) cannot be between themselves and clients—it’s a self-referential error.

Option C: "Between the Endpoint clients and the NMS" introduces "NMS," likely a typo for Network Management System, which isn’t part of Harmony Endpoint’s architecture per the document.

Option D: "Between the Endpoint clients and the SMS" refers to the Security Management Server (SMS), which manages gateways in Check Point’s broader ecosystem, not the EMS specific to Harmony Endpoint (seepage 23for EMS definition).

Thus,Option Bis directly supported by the documentation as the correct placement of EPS.
