Client-side component that provides communication between endpoint and ePO

Client-side component that provides communication between endpoint and ePO

• A. Software Manager
• B. McAfee Agent
• C. Event Parser
• D. Policy Catalog

Answer: (B)

The key idea is the client-side component that runs on each endpoint to talk to the ePolicy Orchestrator server. This role is fulfilled by the McAfee Agent, which sits on the endpoint and maintains the secure channel to the ePO server, receives policy and task updates, enforces policies, and reports inventory and status back to the server. Software Manager is a server-side feature used to coordinate software deployment and management, not the endpoint-facing communication client. Event Parser operates on the server to interpret logs and events, not to communicate with endpoints. Policy Catalog is a repository of policies for administrators to apply, also server-managed rather than the endpoint agent.
