What is Endpoint Security?

Endpoint Security refers to protecting various end-user devices like laptops, smartphones, or tablets. Those endpoints serve as points of access to the corporate network and sensitive data. Today more than ever, endpoint security plays a critical role in enabling your remote workforce.
Malicious actors are taking advantage of this situation, exploiting an unprecedented opportunity to breach organizations worldwide using endpoints as the top attack vector. As a result, the endpoint security solution should be based upon best practices for protecting organizations from preventing the most imminent threats to the endpoint.

#! /bin/bash

#

# The reason of creating this script is that Endpoint Security VPN installs it’s own application firewall kext cpfw.kext

# which prevents for example PPTP connections from this computer, which is not appropriate if you need subj connection just

# from time to time

#

# Usage: ./checkpoint.sh

#

# The script checks if Enpoint Security VPN is running. If it is, then it shuts it down, if it is not, it fires it up.

# Or, make an Automator action and paste the script.

# You will need sudo power, of course

#

# To prevent Endpoint Security VPN from starting automatically whenever you restart your Mac, edit this file:

# `/Library/LaunchAgents/com.checkpoint.eps.gui.plist`

# And change the values of `RunAtLoad` and `KeepAlive` to `false`

# [Source](https://superuser.com/questions/885273)

SERVICE= ‘ Endpoint_Security_VPN ‘

if pgrep $SERVICE > /dev/null

then

# $SERVICE is running. Shut it down

[ -f /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.checkpoint.epc.service.plist ] && sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.checkpoint.epc.service.plist

[ -d /Library/Extensions/cpfw.kext ] && sudo kextunload /Library/Extensions/cpfw.kext

[ -d ‘ /Applications/Check Point Firewall.app ‘ ] && open -W -n -a ‘ /Applications/Check Point Firewall.app ‘ —args —disable

else

# $SERVICE is not running. Fire it up

This is super helpful! Thanks for sharing! One minor modification: on the second to last line, «2>1 >» should probably be «&>» instead to direct all output (STDERR and STDOUT) to /dev/null. As written, this redirects STDERR to a file in the current working directory named «1».

I’m deeply touched by this script. Thanks. Thank you very much. I can finally AirDrop (and much more) again from my Mac again.

You changed my life from now on, until I’ll have to deal with this VPN client.

BTW the process running on my Mac (with the client shut down) was /Library/Application Support/Checkpoint/Endpoint Connect/TracSrvWrapper (my version of the SW is, I believe, Endpoint Security VPN E80 something)

I’m facing the issue that I cannot install (re-install) the latest checkpoint version (E80.89). I also tried to install older versions but I always get the same error message (see picture as well):

«Check Point Endpoint Security VPN can not be installed on this computer
Check Point Endpoint Security is installed on this computer. Please install the VPN blade as part of Endpoint Security.»

Before installing the latest version of Checkpoint Endpoint Security VPN, I have used the uninstaller located in /Library/Applications Support/Checkpoint.

I was already looking for files which could be part of the VPN application, but I could find anymore.

I hope that you guys can help me out, because I need to run this application.

«Before installing the latest version of Checkpoint Endpoint Security VPN, I have used the uninstaller located in /Library/Applications Support/Checkpoint. » — and what was shown on the command line then ? Was the CheckPoint folder removed ?

You also should note the differences between Endpoint Security client for Mac and Endpoint Security VPN for Mac !

Check Point Remote Access Solutions

Providing Secure Remote Access

In today’s business environment, it is clear that workers require remote access to sensitive information from a variety of locations and a variety of devices. Organizations must also make sure that their corporate network remains safe and that remote access does not become a weak point in their IT security.

• Gives you information about Check Point’s secure remote access options.
• Helps you decide which remote access client or clients best match your organization’s requirements.
• Shows you where to get more information.

Types of Solutions

All of Check Point’s Remote Access solutions provide:

• Enterprise-grade, secure connectivity to corporate resources.
• Strong user authentication.
• Granular access control.

Factors to consider when choosing remote access solutions for your organization:

• Client-Based vs. Clientless — Does the solution require a Check Point client to be installed on the endpoint computer or is it clientless, for which only a web browser is required. You might need multiple solutions within your organization to meet different needs.
• Secure Connectivity and Endpoint Security — Which capabilities does the solution include?
  • Secure Connectivity — Traffic is encrypted between the client and VPN gateway. After users authenticate, they can access the corporate resources that are permitted to them in the access policy. All Check Point solutions supply this.
  • Endpoint Security — Endpoint computers are protected at all times, even when there is no connectivity to the corporate network. Some Check Point solutions supply this.

Client-Based vs. Clientless

Check Point remote access solutions use IPsec and SSL encryption protocols to create secure connections. All Check Point clients can work through NAT devices, hotspots, and proxies in situations with complex topologies, such as airports or hotels. These are the types of installations for remote access solutions:

• Client-based — Client application installed on endpoint computers and devices. Clients are usually installed on a managed device, such as a company-owned computer. The client supplies access to most types of corporate resources according to the access privileges of the user.
• Clientless — Users connect through a web browser and use HTTPS connections. Clientless solutions usually supply access to web-based corporate resources.
• On demand client — Users connect through a web browser and a client is installed when necessary. The client supplies access to most types of corporate resources according to the access privileges of the user.

Secure Connectivity and Endpoint Security

You can combine secure connectivity with additional features to protect the network or endpoint computers.

Secure Connectivity — Traffic is encrypted between the client and VPN gateway and strong user authentication is supported. All Check Point solutions supply this.

These solutions require licenses based on the number of users connected at the same time.

Security Verification for Endpoint computers — Makes sure that devices connecting to the gateway meet security requirements. Endpoint machines that are not compliant with the security policy have limited or no connectivity to corporate resources. Some Check Point solutions supply this.

Endpoint Security:

• Desktop Firewall — Protects endpoint computers at all times with a centrally managed security policy. This is important because remote clients are not in the protected network and traffic to clients is only inspected if you have a Desktop Firewall. Some Check Point solutions supply this
• More Endpoint Security Capabilities — Check Point solutions can include more Endpoint Security capabilities, such as anti-malware, disk encryption and more.

These solutions require licenses based on the number of clients installed.

Details of the newest version for each client and a link for more information are in sk67820.
