Hi,

We are thrilled to announce that Check Point Harmony Endpoint Security Client E88.70 for Windows is now available as GA (General Availability)

Check out our new Demo here!

Main Enhancements:

Substantial performance improvements

A series of performance optimizations have been introduced to Behavioral Guard and Forensics blade to improve overall system performance and significantly reduce CPU consumption.
Tuned the DNS inspection feature to reduce CPU consumption as well as improve network load.
Behavioral Guard signatures are now loaded faster.

Super Node functionality in Semi-isolated environments is now GA

Super node status is now available in the Asset Management view on the portal.

DNS inspection can now be controlled through the policy – added the ability to enable/disable the DNS inspection feature directly through the policy.

DLP Enforcement by application – added the granularity to enforce DLP policy for GenAI applications per specific application. Admins can choose the required application out of hundreds supported applications.

Display DLP policy name and version in the Browser extension pop-up – it is now possible to view the enforced policy name and version for DLP within the browser extension pop-up.

Infinity IOC – enforcement of IOCs is now performed faster. In addition, admins can now easily access Infinity IOC directly from the Endpoint portal [Threat Prevention policy > Manage > Manage Infinity IOCs].

Network URL Filtering- added to ability for users to dismiss the URL filtering alert and access block sites. This option uses the same setting as the Browser extension. For more details on the implementation logic as well as the configuration, please refer to the release notes.

Forensics report now provide better visibility into the exact Registry location that triggered the detection

Hi,
Thank you for sharing.
Can you explain what the Default DNS Inspection mode does?

Evert.

Hey @Danielle_Allon

I have a question. Does this version fix all the issues that happen few months ago when windows update 24H2 came out or that will be fixed with E89?

Im specifically referring to below sk. I know it says issue was fixed in E88.62, but I had couple customers had this problem even with that version.

Best,

Andy

Until now, you had no option to disable DNS.
Now you have 3 options:

1. On

2. Off

3. Default (it means that it will keep working as it was before upgrading to 88.70)

BarYassure — Thu, 13 Mar 2025 12:33:32 GMT

Yes, it fixes those problems.
Those problems are also fixed with 88.62 (our new recommended version)

K, awesome! Maybe that was just a "fluke" with 2 customers, but otherwise, no issues.

Hi,

We have problems with the new version 88.70, many PCs have the anti-malware blade and threat extraction & emulation disabled in red.

Some PC's that were working correctly, are now showing this error. At the moment, after rebooting the PC it is working normally again.

There is a patch available.

Can you please send me the details over email? bary@checkpoint.com
I will investigate it

skandshus — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 14:03:46 GMT

Yep. seeing the exact same thing. rebooting makes it enable once again..

helderalmeida — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 13:48:47 GMT

It's happening here too. How did you fix it? After rebooting, the blades come up, but after while they are down again.

Re: Check Point Endpoint Security Client E88.70 for Windows is now available

Alex_Silveiro — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 16:30:47 GMT

No, I still have the case open. This morning I had 112 devices blade issues. I tried to repair the client and it dropped to 63. It later went up to 80, so it's not stable. For now, the reboot works if you don't turn off the device, just a 15-day crash. When the blade crashes, it reboots and you turn it back on. The problem comes with the devices that are turned off every day.

wauw. that seems like a lot.

do you have any specific setup? using all blades? or only a few?

i hope this case has some high priority

Re: Check Point Endpoint Security Client E88.70 for Windows is now available

Alex_Silveiro — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 17:09:57 GMT

All blades for devices users. Almost all crashes Windows 11 22H2.
