Query: Internet Access for Antimalware Blade Update on Client Systems

Vinod_Yadav — Mon, 08 Jan 2024 07:16:42 GMT

Hi Team,

We're currently facing an issue where the Antimalware Blade is not updating. We've granted full internet access to the management server, but client systems don't have internet access. Could you confirm if client systems require internet access for Antimalware Blade updates, or can the management server handle the update?

Please confirm the client & management versions involved?

As below, how is the Signature Source currently configured?

Hi Chris_Atkinson,

We are currently using an on-premises environment with Management Server R81 and client version 86.60.

Have you confirmed the management has access to the correct resources? https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk83520

Within SmartEndpoint how is the signature source setting configured in your policy currently?

Also for awareness E86.70 fixes:

EPS-44834 Enhancement: Anti-Malware can now update signatures from https://kav8.zonealarm.com/v6. However, these signatures cannot be applied when SSL inspection or another solution changing the connections certificate chain is enabled.
