Introduction to Endpoint Security

Check Point Endpoint Security is an endpoint protection solution that safeguards devices against a wide range of cyber threats. It integrates prevention, detection, and response capabilities to defend against malware, ransomware, phishing, and other targeted attacks. This solution combines local and cloud-based security technologies.

This guide helps administrators deploy, configure, and maintain Endpoint Security in the Check Point Portal, a cloud-based management console that centralizes security operations. It provides essential information and step-by-step instructions to support effective implementation and ongoing management.

Endpoint Security includes Endpoint Management as a Service (EPMaaS), a cloud-based service that manages policies and deployments for both Endpoint Security and Browser - Classic clients. For details about Browser - Classic, see the Browser Classic Administration Guide.
