Notes: 1 These file types are supported only with Harmony Endpoint Security Client version E87.40 and higher. 2 These file types are supported only with Harmony Endpoint Security Client version E87.60 and higher. 3 These file types are supported only with Harmony Endpoint Security Client version E88.10 and higher.

Threat Extraction Check Point Software Blade on a Security Gateway that removes malicious content from files. Acronym: TEX. proactively protects users from malicious content. It quickly delivers safe files while the original files are inspected for potential threats.

To see the list of file types which are supported by Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction:

1. Go to Policy > Threat Prevention > Policy Capabilities. In the Capabilities & Exclusions pane, select Web & Files Protection.

2. In the Web & Files Protection tab, go to Advanced Settings > Threat Emulation > Override Default File Actions > Edit.

   These are the configuration options for supported file types:

• Prevent - Send files for emulation and extraction. For further configuration for supported files, go to Advanced Settings > Supported Files:

  • Get extracted copy before emulation completes - You can select one of these two options. The system appends .cleaned to the file name. For example, xxx.cleaned.

    • Extract potential malicious elements - The file is sent in its original file type but without malicious elements. Select which malicious parts to extract. For example, macros, Java scripts and so on.

    • Convert to PDF - Converts the file to PDF, and keeps text and formatting.

      Best Practice - If you use PDFs in right-to-left languages or Asian fonts, preferably select Extract files from potential malicious parts to make sure that these files are processed correctly.

  • Suspend download until emulation completes - The user waits for Threat Emulation to complete. If the file is benign, the gateway sends the original file to the user. If the file is malicious, the gateway presents a Block page and the user does not get access to the file. This option gives you more security, but may cause time delays in downloading files. The system downloads the file with the original file name.

  • Emulate original file without suspending access - The gateway sends the original file to the user (even if it turns out eventually that the file is malicious).

  • Allow - All supported files are allowed without emulation. This setting overrides the Prevent setting selected in the main page.

• Detect - Emulates original file without suspending access to the file and logs the incident. The file is blocked if it is malicious or blocked by file extension (Advanced Settings > Download Protection). If not, the file is downloaded before the emulation is complete.

• Off - Allow file. No emulation or extraction is done. The download of all supported files is allowed.

Unsupported Files

File types which are not supported by Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction. Unsupported files types can be allowed or blocked. To configure, go to Advanced Settings > Download Protection > Unsupported Files. The settings selected here override the settings selected in the main page.

Notes - Only the Endpoint Security Client Application installed on end-user computers to monitor security status and enforce security policies. version E86.40 and higher support a maximum file size up to 100 MB. Client versions lower than E86.40 support a maximum file size up to 15 MB. Increasing the file size increases the client processing and network traffic required to process large files.

To select the operating system images on which the emulation is run, go to Advanced Settings > Download Protection > Emulation Environments, and select one of these options:

• Use Check Point recommended emulation environments

• Use the following emulation environments - Select other images for emulation, that are closest to the operating systems for the computers in your organization. This is supported only if configured from the SmartConsole Check Point GUI application used to manage a Check Point environment - configure Security Policies, configure devices, monitor products and events, install updates, and so on..

2. In the Web & Files Protection tab, scroll-down to Credential Protection.

This protection includes two components:

Zero Phishing

Phishing prevention checks different characteristics of a website to make sure that a site does not pretend to be a different site and use personal information maliciously.

There are three configuration options for this protection:

• Prevent - If the site is determined to be a phishing site, users cannot access the site. A log is created for each malicious site.

• Detect - When a user uses a malicious site, a log is created.

• Off - Phishing prevention is disabled.

For further configuration of the Zero Phishing Check Point Software Blade on a Security Gateway (R81.20 and higher) that provides real-time phishing prevention based on URLs. Acronym: ZPH. protection, go to Advanced Settings > Credential Protection:

• Allow user to dismiss the phishing alert and access the website - Users can select to use a site that was found to be malicious.

• Send log on each scanned site - Send logs for each site that users visit, whether malicious or not.

• Allow user to abort phishing scans - Users can stop the phishing scan before it is completed.

• Scan local HTML files - By default, the Harmony Endpoint extension in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Brave) cannot access the local HTML files opened by the browser to scan them for phishing attacks. This setting prompts users to grant permission to Chromium-based browsers to access and scan local HTML files on your PC.

  Notes: You can customize the prompt page. For more information, seeCustomized Browser Block Pages. This feature is not supported with Safari and Internet Explorer browser extensions. This feature is supported with the Endpoint Security Client version E86.50 and higher.

  To grant permission to access and scan the local HTML files:

  1. When a user opens a local HTML file, the Harmony Browse request access to file URLs prompt appears. Click Click to copy.

  2. Paste the copied path in the address bar of the Chrome browser and press Enter.

  3. Scroll down and turn on Allow access to file URLs.

  4. If the HTML file has an input field, Harmony Browse scans the file and blocks it, if identified as phishing.

• Disable notifications - Allows you to disable the browser zero-phishing scan notification that appears when users try to enter in an input field.

  Note - Only the notification is disabled but the browser zero-phishing scan is performed in the background indicated by the yellow highlight around the input field.

Password Reuse Protection

Alerts users not to use their corporate password in non-corporate domains.

To set the Password Reuse mode:

1. Go to Policy > Threat Prevention > Policy Capabilities.

2. Select the rule Set of traffic parameters and other conditions in a Rule Base (Security Policy) that cause specified actions to be taken for a communication session..

If you enable Allow users to dismiss the password reuse alert and access the website, then it allows the user to dismiss the blocking page and continue to enter the corporate password.

   • Detect & Alert - Blocks the user from entering the corporate password and opens the blocking page in a new tab and allows the user to dismiss the blocking page and continue to enter the corporate password.

     Notes: This option is available only in older releases of Harmony Endpoint. In the newer releases, it is deprecated by Prevent mode. If you enable this option, then Harmony Endpoint automatically disables Allow users to dismiss the password reuse alert and access the website.

   • Detect mode - The system does not block the user from entering the corporate password. If a user enters the corporate password, it is captured in the Harmony Browse logs.

   • Off - Turns off password reuse protection.

6. For Advanced Settings, see Credential Protection.

For further configuration options for password reuse protection, go to Advanced Settings > Credential Protection > Password Reuse Protection > Edit > Protected Domains:

Add domains for which Password Reuse Protection is enforced.Harmony Endpoint keeps a cryptographic secure hash of the passwords used in these domains and compares them to passwords entered outside of the protected domains.

To configure the advanced settings for files protection, go to Advanced Settings > Files Protections.

General

• Malware Treatment - The malware treatment options let you select what happens to malware that is detected on a client computer:

  • Quarantine file if cure failed - If Endpoint Security cannot repair the file, it is deleted and put in a secure location from where it can be restored if necessary.

  • Delete file if cure failed - If Endpoint Security cannot repair the file, it is deleted.

• Riskware Treatment - Riskware is a legal software that might be dangerous.

  • Treat as malware - Use the option selected for Malware.

  • Skip file - Do not treat riskware files.

  • Detect unusual activity - Use behavior detection methods to protect computers from new threats whose information were not added to the databases yet. It does not monitor trusted processes.

  • Enable reputation service for files, web resources & processes - Use cloud technologies to improve precision of scanning and monitoring functions. If you enable or disable this setting, it takes affect after the client computer restarts.

    Connection timeout - Change the maximum time to get a response from Reputation Services (in milliseconds). Default is 600.

    Note - If you decrease this value, it can improve the performance of the Anti-Malware component but reduces security, as clients might not get a reputation status that shows an item to be zero-day malware.

  • Enable web protection - Prevents access to suspicious sites and execution of malicious scripts Scans files, and packed executables transferred over HTTP, and alerts users if malicious content is.found.

• Threat Cloud Knowledge Sharing - To share infected information, statistics and infected file samples with Check Point for analysis, select any of these:

  • Allow sending infection info and statistics to Check Point servers for analysis

  • Allow sending infected file samples to Check Point servers for analysis

  Note - This is supported only with a DHS compliant Harmony Endpoint Security client.

• Mail Protection - Enable or disable scans of email messages when they are passed as files across the file system.

Signature

• Frequency

  Anti-Malware gets malware signature updates at regular intervals to make sure that it can scan for the newest threats. These actions define the frequency of the signature updates and the source:

  • Update signatures every [x] hours - Signature updates occur every [x] hours from the Endpoint Policy Server Endpoint Policy Server improves performance in large environments by managing most communication with the Endpoint Security clients. Managing the Endpoint Security client communication decreases the load on the Endpoint Security Management Server, and reduces the bandwidth required between sites. The Endpoint Policy Server handles heartbeat and synchronization requests, Policy downloads, Anti-Malware updates, and Endpoint Security client logs. and the External Check Point Signature Server.

  • Signature update will fail after [x] seconds without server response - The connection timeout, after which the update source is considered unavailable.

• Signature Sources

  • External Check point Signature Server - Get updates from a dedicated, external Check Point server through the internet.

  • Other External Source - Get updates from an external source through the internet. Enter the URL.

• Shared signature source - Get updates from a shared location on an Endpoint Security client that acts as a Shared Signature Server. This solution is curated for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments, but can be leveraged for other scenarios as well. This makes it possible to protect non-persistent virtual desktops in Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) environments. Each non-persistent virtual desktop runs an Endpoint Security, and gets Anti-Malware and Threat Prevention signatures from a shared folder on the Shared Signature Server that is a persistent virtual machine.

  • Second Priority - Set a fallback update source to use if the selected update source fails. Select a different option than the first signature source.

  • Third Priority - Set a fallback update source to use if the other sources fail.

  Note - If only update from local Endpoint Servers is selected, clients that are disconnected from an Endpoint Security server cannot get updates.

• Shared Signature Server - To set the server as a Shared Signature Server, select the Set as shared signature server checkbox and enter the local path of the folder. For example, C:\Signatures. For more information, see Shared Signatures Server.

Scan

Anti-Malware scans computers for malware at regular intervals to make sure that suspicious files are treated, quarantined, or deleted.

• Perform Periodic Scan - Select one of these options to define the frequency of the scans:

  • Every Month- Select the day of the month on which the scan takes place and the Scan start hour.

  • Every Week - Select the day of the week on which the scan takes place and the Scan start hour.

  • Every Day - Select the scan start hour.

  • Scan on Idle - Specify the idle time duration for the endpoint. The Harmony Endpoint Security client initiates the initial or periodic Anti-Malware scan only when the endpoint remains idle for the specified duration. If the device is not idle, the scan is postponed for 24 hours. After this 24-hour period, the Harmony Endpoint Security client initiates the initial or periodic Anti-Malware scan, irrespective of whether the device is idle or in use.

  Note - Scan on Idle is not supported with the DHS compliant Anti-Malware blade.

  Optional :

  • Randomize scan time - Mandatory for Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). Select this option to make sure that not all computers do a scan for malware at the same time. This makes sure that network performance is not affected by many simultaneous scans. In Start scan and End scan, specify the time range during which the scan can start and end.

  • Run initial scan after the Anti-Malware blades installation.

  • Allow user to cancel scan.

  • Prohibit cancel scan if more than X Days passed since last successful scan.

• Scan Targets - Select the target for the Anti-Malware scan:

  • Critical areas

  • Optical drives

  • Local drives

  • Mail messages

  • Removable drives

  • Unrecognized devices

  • Network devices

  Notes: Mail messages is not supported with the DHS compliant Anti-Malware blade in macOS. Critical areas is supported with the DHS compliant Anti-Malware blade from E88.00 and higher.

• Scan Target Exclusions - Select the checkboxes to skip scanning of certain files.

  • Skip archives and non executables - Skips scanning of archive file formats (for example, .zip, 7zip, tar.gz, rar, and so on) and non-executable files (files without the execute permission).

    Note - Skip archives and non executables are not supported with the DHS compliant Anti-Malware blade.

  • Do not scan files larger than - Specify the file size limit. If the file size is larger than the specified limit, then the system skips scanning the file. The default file size limit is 20 MB.

    Note - The maximum supported file size for the Anti-Malware scan depends on the endpoint's system specifications, such as CPU, RAM and so on.
