Explanation:
The Endpoint Client provides end users with an overview summary of the protections deployed on their machines and the status of each protection. On page 19, under "Endpoint Security Client," the guide describes it as an application that monitors security status and enforces policies, with components like Anti-Malware and Firewall listed on page 20, visible to users through the client interface.
Option A is more relevant to administrators (page 63), Option C relates to forensic reports (page 346), and Option D pertains to network monitoring, not client-provided data.

Explanation:
The general components of Data Protection in Harmony Endpoint are Full Disk Encryption (FDE), Media Encryption, and Port Protection. This is explicitly detailed in the CP_R81.20_Harmony_Endpoint_Server_AdminGuide.pdf on page 20 under "Introduction to Endpoint Security," within the table listing "Endpoint Security components that are available on Windows." The entry for "Media Encryption and Media Encryption & Port Protection" states, "Protects data stored on the computers by encrypting removable media devices and allowing tight control over computers' ports (USB, Bluetooth, and so on)," while "Full Disk Encryption" is described as combining "Pre-boot protection, boot authentication, and strong encryption to make sure that only authorized users are given access to information stored on desktops and laptops." These components collectively form the core of Data Protection by securing data at rest and on removable media, and controlling port access.
Option B accurately lists these three components.
Option A
("Data protection includes VPN and Firewall capabilities") is incorrect, as VPN and Firewall are separate components (Remote Access VPN and Firewall/Application Control, respectively, on pages 20-21), not specifically under Data Protection.
Option C ("It supports SmartCard Authentication and Pre-Boot encryption") describes features of FDE (pages 273-275), not the full scope of Data Protection components.
Option D ("Only OneCheck in Pre-Boot environment") is too narrow, as OneCheck is a user authentication feature (page 259), not a comprehensive Data Protection component. Thus, option B is the verified answer.
Reference: CP_R81.20_Harmony_Endpoint_Server_AdminGuide.pdf, Page 20: Introduction to Endpoint Security (lists Full Disk Encryption, Media Encryption, and Port Protection as components).

Explanation:
The Check Point Consolidated Cyber Security Architecture is designed to integrate multiple security functions into a unified platform. This architecture provides "consolidated security functions," which is its primary benefit. This means it combines endpoint protection, data security, and threat prevention into a single, manageable system, improving efficiency and simplifying security administration for organizations. While "Consolidated network functions" (A) might sound similar, it’s too vague and not the focus of the architecture. "Single policy" (B) is not highlighted as a standalone benefit, and "Decentralized management" (C) contradicts the centralized approach of this architecture. Thus, "Consolidated security functions" (D) is the correct answer, as it aligns directly with the documented advantages.

Explanation:
Port Protection, a feature within the Media Encryption & Port Protection (MEPP) component of Check Point Harmony Endpoint, is designed to protect activity on the ports of a client computer to help prevent data leakage. This functionality controls access to ports such as USB, Bluetooth, and others to secure data transfers and prevent unauthorized data exfiltration. The CP_R81.20_Harmony_Endpoint_Server_AdminGuide.pdf provides clear evidence on page 280, under "Media Encryption & Port Protection":
"Protects data stored on the computers by encrypting removable media devices and allowing tight control over computers' ports (USB, Bluetooth, and so on)."
Additionally, on page 288, under "Configuring Peripheral Device Access," it elaborates:
"Port Protection prevents unauthorized access to devices connected to the computer’s ports, helping to prevent data leakage through unauthorized devices."
These extracts confirm that Port Protection’s primary purpose is to safeguard data by controlling port activity, aligning with Option
A. The "why" is explicitly tied to preventing data leakage, a critical security objective.
Option B ("to review logs") is incorrect; while logs may be generated as a byproduct, the primary goal is protection, not log review.
Option C ("to help unauthorized user access") contradicts the purpose of Port Protection, which is to block unauthorized access, not facilitate it.
Option D ("to monitor devices") is partially relevant but incomplete; monitoring is a means to an end, with the ultimate goal being data leakage prevention.
Reference: CP_R81.20_Harmony_Endpoint_Server_AdminGuide.pdf, Page 280: "Media Encryption & Port
Protection" (describes port control for data protection).
CP_R81.20_Harmony_Endpoint_Server_AdminGuide.pdf, Page 288: "Configuring Peripheral Device
Access" (specifies prevention of data leakage via ports).

Explanation:
Remote Help in the pre-boot environment of Harmony Endpoint assists users with authentication issues before the operating system loads, such as forgotten passwords. The security levels for this feature are configurable to balance usability and security, as detailed in the Check Point Harmony Endpoint Server Administration Guide R81.20.
On page 227, under "Advanced Pre-boot Settings," the guide specifies:
"Remote Help Security Level: Select the security level for Remote Help. Options are Low, Medium, or High."
This extract unequivocally lists three security levels―Low, Medium, and High―directly corresponding to Option C. These levels likely adjust the complexity or length of the challenge-response process, though the guide does not elaborate on the exact differences beyond their availability as options.
Assessing the other choices:
Option A: Four levels - Low security, Medium security, High security, Very High security C The documentation mentions only three levels, not four; "Very High security" is not an option.
Option B: Two levels - Low and High security C This is incorrect, as it omits the Medium level explicitly listed on page 227.
Option D: One and only level - enable or disable security C This misrepresents the feature; Remote Help can be enabled with varying security levels, not just toggled on or off.
The precise wording on page 227 confirms that Option C accurately reflects the three configurable security levels for Remote Help in pre-boot.
