Hi everyone,

I would like to block the execution of .CHM (Compiled HTML Help) files on endpoints using Check Point SmartEndpoint / Harmony Endpoint.

Have you looked at Web & Files Protection:

Hi,

Yes, I have checked it but it does not mention anything regarding block file types.

Did you look at Override Default Files Actions in the doc @Tal_Paz-Fridman linked?
You should be able to add a specific "Drop" rule for CHM files as described there.
