156-536 Exam Dumps - Check Point Certified Harmony Endpoint Specialist - R81.20 (CCES)

The Media Encryption (ME) capability in Check Point Harmony Endpoint focuses on securing data on removable media by encrypting it and controlling access, often requiring user authorization as a key feature. TheCP_R81.20_Harmony_Endpoint_Server_AdminGuide.pdfdetails this functionality explicitly.

Onpage 280, under "Media Encryption & Port Protection," it states:

"Protects data stored on the computers by encrypting removable media devices and allowing tight control over computers' ports (USB, Bluetooth, and so on)."

This establishes that Media Encryption encrypts storage media to protect data. Additionally, onpage 283, in "Configuring the Read Action," the documentation elaborates:

"You can configure the read action to require user authorization before allowing access to encrypted media. Require Authorization: Users must enter a password to access the media."

The "requiring authorization" aspect means that users must authenticate (e.g., via a password) to access the encrypted media, directly contributing to the protection of sensitive data by ensuring only authorized individuals can read it.Option A("Protects sensitive data and encrypts storage media") captures the primary accomplishment of this capability, with authorization being a mechanism to achieve that protection.

Option B("Controls ports and encrypts storage media") is partially correct, as port control is part of the broader "Media Encryption & Port Protection" component (page 280). However, the question specifies "Media Encryption (ME)," focusing on the encryption aspect, and port control is not directly tied to the authorization requirement for media access.

Option C("Controls ports and manages ports") omits encryption entirely, which is the core of ME, making it incorrect.

Option D("Decrypts and blocks access to specific ports") misrepresents ME’s purpose, which is to encrypt and secure data, not decrypt it, nor does it primarily block ports (that’s Port Protection’s role).

Thus,Option Aaligns best with the accomplishment of Media Encryption requiring authorization, emphasizing data protection through encryption and access control.

An administrator can confirm a successful macOS Harmony Endpoint client installation whenthe Endpoint icon appears in the computer's menu bar. This is stated on page 151 under "Deploying Mac Clients," noting that "After installation, the Endpoint Security icon appears in the menu bar." Options like automatic reboot (A) or pop-up messages (B, D) are not documented as standard indicators of successful installation in the guide.

Harmony Endpoint provides Endpoint Security Client packages forWindows, macOS, and Linux operating systems. This is explicitly documented in theCP_R81.20_Harmony_Endpoint_Server_AdminGuide.pdf. Onpage 19, under the section "Endpoint Security Client," it states: "The Endpoint Security client is available on Windows and Mac." This confirms support for Windows and macOS. Further clarification is provided onpage 51, under "Supported Operating Systems for the Endpoint Client," which lists "macOS" and "Linux" as supported platforms, alongside detailed support for Microsoft Windows onpage 49. Together, these references confirm that the client packages are offered for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Option A ("Unix, WinLinux and macOS")is incorrect because "WinLinux" is not a recognized operating system, and Unix is not listed as a supported client OS in the documentation.

Option C ("macOS, iPadOS and Windows")is incorrect as iPadOS, an OS for mobile devices, is not mentioned as a supported platform for the Endpoint Security Client.

Option D ("Windows, AppleOS and Unix operating systems")is incorrect because "AppleOS" is not a standard term (the correct term is macOS), and Unix is not supported as a client OS.

Thus,Option Bis the only fully accurate choice based on the official documentation.

When facing a technical problem with Check Point products, the recommended resources for accurate and comprehensive technical information areCheck Point SecureKnowledge,CheckMates, andCheck Point Customer Support. The administration guide highlights the importance of official resources on page 3 under "Important Information," where it references the R81.20 home page and encourages feedback to improve documentation, implying a structured support ecosystem. SecureKnowledge is Check Point’s technical knowledge base, CheckMates is the official community forum, and Customer Support offers direct assistance. Options like Google (A) or generic infosec sources (C) may provide unverified or incomplete information, while pressing F1 in SmartConsole (D) is not a documented support method in the guide.

For typical local (On-Premises) deployments, the deployment scenario includes both the Agent (Initial Client) and Software Blades packages. The Initial Client ensures connectivity, and Software Blades provide the actual security functionalities.
