Which client-side component provides communication between endpoint and ePO?

Which client-side component provides communication between endpoint and ePO?

• A. Apache
• B. Software Manager
• C. McAfee Agent
• D. System Tree

Answer: (C)

The McAfee Agent is the client-side component that communicates with ePO. It runs on each endpoint, maintaining a secure channel to the ePO server, sending inventory data and status, and receiving policy updates, tasks, and software updates. This agent handles heartbeat and policy enforcement, enabling centralized management from ePO. Apache is the web server used on the ePO server side for the interface, not on the endpoint for client-server communication. Software Manager is a utility for software deployment on a client, but it is not the ongoing communication channel to ePO. System Tree is the organizational view in the ePO console, not a client communication component.
