Which component configures security policies deployed to endpoints?

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

Answer: (A)

In ePolicy Orchestrator, security policies are defined and stored in the Policy Catalog. This is the place you create and configure policy settings (for antivirus, firewall, HIPS, etc.) and organize them into policies that can be assigned to groups of endpoints. The McAfee Agent on each endpoint then retrieves and enforces the assigned policies from the ePO server. The other components don’t configure policies: the McAfee Agent applies them locally, Apache is just a web server, and Software Manager handles software deployment, not policy definitions. So the Policy Catalog is the correct component for configuring security policies deployed to endpoints.
