## Solution

### Important

This article refers to Mobile Access Portal Agent version 800007049, which resolves security issues in the used libraries. To be protected, make sure the latest Mobile Access Portal Agent is installed on all your Security Gateways. To examine the version number, run this command from the Expert mode::  

`# cat $CVPNDIR/htdocs/SNX/CSHELL/cshell_ver.txt`

<br />

The Check Point Mobile Access Portal offers a variety of on-demand client technologies, including SSL Network Extender, Compliance Scan, and Secure Workspace.

The on-demand technologies are downloaded and invoked by the Mobile Access Portal Agent. While for the Internet Explorer browser the Portal Agent is implemented as an ActiveX control, for all other web browsers it is implemented as a standalone Java application.

**Note:** There is no Mobile Access Portal Agent version for the IPsec VPN portal. Users can work with this portal from Internet Explorer only.
