Application Control Feature

[MtxMan]

Hi CheckMates,

In other vendors, most likely a feature from firewall converted to endpoint such as URL Reputation, URL Filtering, Application Control and etc.

How about with Check Point Harmony Endpoint? Is those capabilities already embedded?

For example (usecase) :

1. User can't install or running any applications except application that already installed.
2. Filter access internet user by application control, such as : user can access Facebook but not Facebook Chat.

I know those features need combining with another solution, but some vendor already embedded in one endpoint solution and i want to know about Check Point features. Can i achieve it?

Thanks!

A level of Application Whitelisting & URL Filtering is provided in Harmony Endpoint itself. Can be optionally augmented with Harmony Connect Internet Access where required. 

Please see - Harmony Endpoint Options and Specifications per: https://www.checkpoint.com/harmony/advanced-endpoint-protection/

Hi @Chris_Atkinson 

Yes, i just looking on Admin Guide. Harmony have more granular control for Apps Whitelisting.

Is https://appwiki.checkpoint.com/appwikisdb/public.htm embedded on Harmony EP to create granular policy based on Apps? Like you said, i think if customer need more granular APC need to install Harmony Connect also 😄

AppC on a gateway is different than AppC in Endpoint, if you want SWG functionality that is more the role of Harmony Connect.

Hi,

It would be lovely if the Infinity Portal had pre-defined application list in the same way that on-prem SmartEndpoint did, or would automatically acquire application data in the way that the on-prem product does?

Thanks, Jamie

Smart Endpoint is accessible for  Cloud hosted deployments, have you tried accessing using the client?

Related features are also constantly being added to the Web UI for example wild card support recently per:
