This release includes support for Standalone E80.71 Endpoint Security VPN client and E80.71 Capsule Docs Mac Clients.
The managed E80.71 Endpoint Security Client for Mac is available with support for FileVault with local users only. Using fileVault with mobile network accounts can lead to deletion of the Personal Recovery Key which in this case can cause data loss. To get the managed Client, contact Check Point Support.
Check Point is working with Apple to solve the FileVault limitation and will update upon resolution.
