FWM (Firewall Management) : It runs only on the SMS (Security Management Server) and is responsible for handling SmartConsole GUI connections, policy verification, and Management High Availability (HA) synchronization.
FWD (Firewall Daemon) : It runs on both SMS and Security Gateway devices. Mostly, it is responsible for routing logs from Security Gateways to SMS, but it also acts as a parent process (on security gateways) for many security server processes that are performing advanced inspections outside of the kernel.
CPD (Check Point Daemon) : It runs on both SMS and Security Gateway devices. It is responsible for handling generic functions like SmartView Monitor, SIC/certificates, licensing, and fetching/pushing policy between the SMS and Security Gateway.
