When deploying an Endpoint Policy Server, configuring the heartbeat interval is critical. The heartbeat interval defines how often the client must communicate with the server to verify policy status and updates. The amount of time allowed for the client to connect ensures consistent enforcement of policies.
Exact Extract from Official Document:
"The heartbeat interval and the time allowed for client connections are critical settings to configure when deploying an Endpoint Policy Server."

Question 2
Which of the following is TRUE about the functions of Harmony Endpoint components?
Options:
A.
SmartEndpoint connects to the Check Point Security Management Server (SMS)
B.
SmartEndpoint Console connects to and manages the Endpoint Management Server (EMS)
C.
SmartConsole connects to and manages the Endpoint Management Server (EMS)
D.
Web Management Console for Endpoint connects to the Check Point Security Management Server (SMS)
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The SmartEndpoint Console is a key component in the Harmony Endpoint architecture, specifically designed to connect to and manage the Endpoint Management Server (EMS). It is a Check Point SmartConsole application used to deploy, monitor, and configure endpoint security clients and policies, communicating directly with the EMS. In contrast, SmartEndpoint does not connect to the Security Management Server (SMS) as stated in option A. SmartConsole (C) is a broader management tool for Check Point gateways, not specifically for the EMS. Option D, regarding the Web Management Console, is not supported by the documentation as connecting to the SMS. Therefore, "SmartEndpoint Console connects to and manages the Endpoint Management Server (EMS)" (B) is the true statement.
Question 3
Harmony Endpoint’s Full Disk Encryption (FDE) only allows access to authorized users using what?
Options:
A.
Multifaceted pre-boot capabilities
B.
Strong Passwords
C.
Single login
D.
Username verification
Answer:
A
Explanation:
Check Point Harmony Endpoint’s Full Disk Encryption (FDE) provides security through advanced multifaceted pre-boot capabilities. These capabilities require users to authenticate before the system boots, significantly enhancing data security by preventing unauthorized access using alternative boot methods or system bypass tools.
Exact Extract from Official Document:
"Pre-boot Protection requires users to authenticate to their computers before the computer boots. This prevents unauthorized access to the operating system using authentication bypass tools at the operating system level or alternative boot media to bypass boot protection."
