Altiris Deployment Client
Altiris Deployment Client port 402 facilitates communication for Symantec's Altiris Deployment Solution, a remote management suite for device deployment, imaging, and maintenance within enterprise environments. It supports client-server interactions to streamline the automation of provisioning, software distribution, and system updates, enabling efficient management of large-scale IT infrastructures..
Port 402 is predominantly utilized by Symantec's Altiris Deployment Solution, which is an enterprise-grade product used to provision and configure computers remotely. Leveraging this port, the Altiris Deployment Client software establishes a connection to Deployment Servers, enabling centralized management, device discovery, and orchestrated operational tasks.
Communication over port 402 allows the client to receive task commands, status updates, and deployment images. This port supports essential data flow including software distribution payloads, imaging commands, and logging information. Since it primarily uses TCP, it ensures reliable data transfer necessary for sensitive provisioning processes.
Typically, this port does not use encryption by default, although it can be secured via underlying VPN tunnels or additional security layers. Altiris environments often operate within controlled networks, but port 402’s accessibility should be carefully managed to avoid exposing critical deployment workflows.
