Ransomware is an attack in which an attacker encrypts files on a computer and demands payment in exchange for the decryption key.

A typical on-premises Endpoint Security deployment uses both the Initial Client and Software Blades packages. The Initial Client provides the Endpoint Agent that communicates with the Endpoint Security Management Server, and the Software Blades package installs the selected security components. Check Point documentation states that an Initial Client must be installed before Software Blades can be deployed through automatic software deployment.

For on-premises Endpoint Security management, the available roles are Admin, which has full read-and-write access to all system aspects, and Read-Only, which can view system aspects but cannot make changes.
