Important Update - Harmony App Protect End of Support

 

Check Point’s Harmony App Protect will be end of support soon.

For more information on key actions and timelines, see Harmony App Protect End-of-Life - Check Point CheckMates.

There a few APIs to configure the Harmony App Protect behavior in the background. By default, the Harmony App Protect receives events from the OS when an app is installed, updated or removed and initiates a scan to check if the risk was changed on the device. In addition, it performs scheduled scans that keep the device up to date. To control this behavior, use these APIs and decide whether it should trigger scans in the background.
