What is the primary function of the Deep Security Notifier?

The primary function of the Deep Security Notifier is to provide notifications about the status of the Deep Security Agent. This tool is essential for administrators as it alerts them to changes in the health or state of security agents deployed on endpoints. By sending notifications regarding issues such as agent failures, updates, or changes in configuration, the Notifier helps ensure timely awareness of potential vulnerabilities or operational disruptions. This allows for swift administrative action to maintain the security posture of the environment.

Other options, while related to security functions, do not represent the core purpose of the Deep Security Notifier. Managing firewall settings, performing malware scans, and analyzing web traffic are functions handled by different aspects of the Deep Security system, specifically designed with those capabilities in mind. Each of these is critical, but they do not contribute to the notification and status update functionality provided by the Notifier.
