NEW QUESTION # 76
What is the role of real-time updates in Application Control and URL Filtering?
- A. They ensure accurate categorization of applications and websites
- B. They reduce the need for HTTPS Inspection
- C. They manage user authentication
- D. They encrypt traffic between gateways
Answer: A
Explanation:
The correct answer is A. Application Control and URL Filtering depend on accurate identification and categorization of applications, sites, and URL categories. Real-time or regularly updated classification data helps ensure that new applications, changed SaaS services, new domains, and updated web categories are recognized correctly. Option B is wrong because gateway-to-gateway encryption is VPN
/IPsec functionality, not Application Control or URL Filtering updates. Option C is wrong because user authentication and identity mapping are handled by Identity Awareness sources such as AD Query, Browser-Based Authentication, Identity Collector, RADIUS Accounting, Identity Agents, or Identity Web API. Option D is wrong because updated categorization does not remove the need for HTTPS Inspection; encrypted traffic may still require inspection or metadata-based categorization for accurate enforcement. The core value of updates is classification accuracy, which directly affects policy matching, blocking, allowing, and logging. Reference topics: Application Control, URL Filtering, Application Database, URL categorization, Access Control Policy.
NEW QUESTION # 77
Which is a main component of the Check Point security management architecture?
- A. Endpoint VPN client
- B. SmartConsole
- C. Proxy Server
- D. Identity Collector
Answer: B
Explanation:
A main component of the Check Point security management architecture isSmartConsole2. SmartConsole is a unified graphical user interface that allows administrators to manage multiple security functions such as firewall, VPN, IPS, application control, URL filtering, identity awareness, and more. SmartConsole connects to the Security Management Server and interacts with other Check Point components such as Security Gateways and Endpoint Security Servers. Check Point R81 Security Management Administration Guide
NEW QUESTION # 78
How do you match a user or a computer identity in the security policy?
- A. Use the AD Query Object in source or destination column.
- B. Use Access Role Objects in source or destination columns.
- C. Use identity awareness objects in source or destination columns.
- D. Use a user or a user group object in source or destination column.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The correct answer is D. In Check Point Identity Awareness, identity-based matching in the Access Control policy is performed with Access Role Objects. An Access Role can combine user identity, computer identity, and network location into one policy object used in the Source or Destination columns. Option A is too vague and does not name the correct object type. Option B is wrong because AD Query is an identity acquisition source, not the policy object used to match users in the rulebase.
Option C is incomplete because raw user or group objects alone are not the primary R82 Access Control rulebase mechanism for identity matching; Access Roles are used to express identity conditions properly. The practical design is: collect identities using sources such as AD Query, Identity Collector, Identity Agents, Browser-Based Authentication, RADIUS Accounting, or Identity Web API; then enforce access using Access Roles in the policy. Reference topics: Identity Awareness, Access Roles, user
/computer identity matching, Access Control policy.
NEW QUESTION # 79
Select the correct description of the Identity Collector.
- A. Acquire identities from Identity Agents installed on a Windows-based application server that hosts Terminal Servers, Citrix XenApp. and Citrix XenDesktop services
- B. Acquires identities seamlessly from Microsoft Active Directory
- C. Acquires identities using Identity Agents installed on user endpoint computer
- D. Acquires identities using Identity Agents installed on Active Directory Domain Controllers, Cisco Identity Services Engine Servers or NetlQ eDirectory Servers
Answer: D
Explanation:
The correct answer is B. Identity Collector is the Check Point Identity Awareness component used to acquire identity data from infrastructure sources such as Microsoft Active Directory Domain Controllers, Cisco Identity Services Engine servers, NetIQ eDirectory servers, and Syslog-based sources depending on deployment. Option A describes endpoint Identity Agents installed on user computers, not Identity Collector. Option C describes Terminal Server identity agent use cases for environments such as Citrix or Remote Desktop Session Host, where many users may share the same server IP address. Option D describes AD Query more closely, because AD Query is the clientless identity acquisition mechanism that learns identities from Microsoft Active Directory events. Identity Collector is specifically useful in high-volume or mixed identity-source environments because it centralizes identity collection and forwards mappings to Identity Awareness gateways. Reference topics: Identity Awareness, Identity Collector, Active Directory Domain Controllers, Cisco ISE, NetIQ eDirectory.
NEW QUESTION # 80
What is a best practice for managing SmartConsole administrator accounts?
- A. Allow unlimited concurrent sessions
- B. Assign roles based on maximum privilege
- C. Limit the use of Super User accounts
- D. Use simple passwords
Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer is B. A core administrator-account best practice is to limit the use of Super User accounts. Super User has full read/write permissions, including sensitive capabilities such as managing administrators and sessions. Assigning this profile broadly violates least privilege and increases operational and security risk. Option A is wrong because unlimited concurrent administrative sessions can increase collision risk, accountability problems, and accidental overwrites. Option C is obviously insecure; administrator accounts require strong authentication controls. Option D is the opposite of best practice: roles should be based on least privilege, not maximum privilege. In Check Point R82, permission profiles such as Read Only All, Read Write All, and Super User allow administrators to assign access according to job function. Custom profiles may also be used where more granular control is needed. Reference topics: Administrator Account Management, permission profiles, Super User, least privilege.
NEW QUESTION # 81
Some use cases for Application Control and URL Filtering rules are:
- A. Monitor Applications, Block Applications and Inform Users, Block Sites
- B. limit Applications traffic, Block Applications and Inform Users, Block malicious files
- C. limit Applications traffic, Allow Applications and Inform Users, Block malicious files
- D. Monitor Applications, Allow Applications and Inform Users, Block malicious files
Answer: A
Explanation:
The correct answer is D. Application Control and URL Filtering rules are used to control which applications and websites users can access and how that usage is recorded. Typical use cases include monitoring application usage, blocking specific applications, informing users through UserCheck-style actions, and blocking websites or URL categories that violate policy. Option A is incorrect because
"block malicious files" is primarily a Threat Prevention function involving blades such as Anti-Virus, Threat Emulation, Threat Extraction, and related prevention controls, not the core use case of Application Control and URL Filtering rules. Options B and C include "limit application traffic," which is not the best description for the tested App Control/URL Filtering rule use cases, and they also incorrectly include blocking malicious files. Official Check Point guidance describes Application Control and URL Filtering rules as defining which users can use specified applications and sites and what application/site usage is recorded in logs. Therefore, monitoring, blocking applications, informing users, and blocking sites are the correct operational examples. Reference topics: Application Control and URL Filtering, UserCheck, Access Control Policy, application/site usage logging.

NEW QUESTION # 84
Fill in the blank: An identity server uses a ___________ for user authentication.
- A. One-time password
- B. Shared secret
- C. Token
- D. Certificate
Answer: B
Explanation:
The answer is A because an identity server uses a shared secret for user authentication. A shared secret is a passphrase that is known by both the identity server and the user. The identity server sends a challenge to the user, who encrypts it with the shared secret and sends it back.The identity server then verifies the response and authenticates the user12Check Point R81 Identity Awareness Administration Guide,Check Point R81 Identity Server
NEW QUESTION # 85
When configuring LDAP User Directory integration, Changes applied to a User Directory template are:
- A. Reflected immediately for all users who are using template.
- B. Not reflected for any users who are using that template.
- C. Not reflected for any users unless the local user template is changed.
- D. Reflected for all users who are using that template and if the local user template is changed as well.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The answer is A because changes applied to a User Directory template are reflected immediately for all users who are using that template. A User Directory template defines the settings for connecting to an LDAP server, such as the server name, port, base DN, user filter, and group filter.When a User Directory template is modified, all users who are using that template will inherit the changes without requiring any additional actions3Check Point R81 Identity Awareness Administration Guide, [Check Point R81 User Directory Templates]
NEW QUESTION # 86
When an encrypted packet is decrypted, where does this happen?
- A. Inbound chain
- B. Outbound chain
- C. Security policy
- D. Decryption is not supported
Answer: C
Explanation:
When an encrypted packet is decrypted, this happens in the security policy4. The security policy is a set of rules that defines how the Security Gateway inspects and secures traffic. The security policy includes VPN rules that specify which traffic should be encrypted or decrypted. The inbound and outbound chains are part of the inspection framework that processes packets according to the security policy. Check Point R81 VPN Administration Guide
NEW QUESTION # 87
What is the main benefit of Identity Awareness?
- A. It allows you to configure security policy based on source network, destination network. LDAP Group membership and source operating system.
- B. It allows you to configure security policy based on the source or destination network and user agent.
- C. It allows you to configure security policy based on password length. RADIUS group membership and the source operating system.
- D. It allows you to configure security policy based user or machine identity.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The correct answer is B. The main benefit of Identity Awareness is that it allows administrators to configure security policy based on user or machine identity, not just source/destination IP addresses.
Identity Awareness maps users and computers to IP addresses and lets policy rules use Access Role objects to match identity conditions. Option A is incomplete and misleading because source/destination network matching exists without Identity Awareness, and "user agent" is not the main Identity Awareness benefit. Option C is wrong because password length and source operating system are not the core Identity Awareness policy model. Option D mixes ordinary network matching with directory group membership but still fails to state the central benefit clearly: identity-based access control. The modern firewall must know who is behind an IP address; Identity Awareness provides that missing context and improves both enforcement and audit trails. Reference topics: Identity Awareness, user
/computer identity mapping, Access Roles, granular Access Control.
NEW QUESTION # 88
What is the role of the Security Gateway in the Check Point environment?
- A. To manage objects and policies
- B. To provide a web-based interface
- C. To inspect inbound and outbound traffic
- D. To act as a centralized management server
Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer is C. The Security Gateway is the enforcement component in a Check Point deployment. It sits in the traffic path and inspects inbound, outbound, and internal traffic according to the installed Security Policy. Official R82 SmartConsole Help states that a Security Gateway enforces Security Policies configured on the Security Management Server. Option A describes the Security Management Server, not the gateway. Option B describes Gaia Portal or a web management interface, not the primary gateway role. Option D also describes the Security Management Server and SmartConsole management workflow, not the gateway. The gateway's job is to enforce Access Control, Threat Prevention, VPN, HTTPS Inspection, Identity Awareness enforcement, Application Control, URL Filtering, and other enabled blades as applicable. In the three-tier model, SmartConsole is the GUI client, the management server is the policy/configuration authority, and the Security Gateway is the runtime enforcement point protecting the network. Reference topics: Security Gateway, policy enforcement, three-tier architecture, Access Control enforcement.
NEW QUESTION # 89
Which of the following is a new R80.10 Gateway feature that had not been available in R77.X and older?
- A. Sub Policies are sets of rules that can be created and attached to specific rules. If the rule is matched, inspection will continue in the sub policy attached to it rather than in the next rule.
- B. Limits the upload and download throughput for streaming media in the company to 1 Gbps.
- C. The rule base can be built of layers, each containing a set of the security rules. Layers are inspected in the order in which they are defined, allowing control over the rule base flow and which security functionalities take precedence.
- D. Time object to a rule to make the rule active only during specified times.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Sub Policies are a new feature in R80.10 Gateway that allow creating and attaching sets of rules to specific rules in the main policy4.Sub Policies are useful for delegating permissions, managing large rule bases, and applying different inspection profiles4. The other options are not new features in R80.10 Gateway. Check Point R80.10 Security Management Administration Guide
NEW QUESTION # 90
The competition between stateful inspection and proxies was based on performance, protocol support, and security. Considering stateful Inspections and Proxies, which statement is correct?
- A. When it comes to performance, proxies were significantly faster than stateful inspection firewalls.
- B. Proxies offer far more security because of being able to give visibility of the payload (the data).
- C. Stateful Inspection is limited to Layer 3 visibility, with no Layer 4 to Layer 7 visibility capabilities.
- D. When it comes to performance, stateful inspection was significantly faster than proxies.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Stateful Inspection and Proxies are two different technologies for implementing firewall security. Stateful Inspection is a technique that inspects packets at the network layer and maintains a state table that tracks the status of each connection. Proxies are applications that act as intermediaries between clients and servers, and inspect packets at the application layer. The competition between stateful inspection and proxies was based on performance, protocol support, and security.When it comes to performance, stateful inspection was significantly faster than proxies, because it did not have to process the payload of each packet and could handle more concurrent connections1.

NEW QUESTION # 91
You have enabled "Extended Log" as a tracking option to a security rule. However, you are still not seeing any data type information. What is the MOST likely reason?
- A. Log Trimming is enabled.
- B. Logging has disk space issues
- C. Content Awareness is not enabled.
- D. Identity Awareness is not enabled.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Extended Log is a tracking option that enables administrators to see additional information about the traffic that matches a security rule, such as data type, file name, file size, etc. However, to see any data type information, Content Awareness must be enabled on the Security Gateway. Content Awareness is a blade that inspects files based on their type, size, name, and data.Content Awareness is required for Extended Log to work properly3.

NEW QUESTION # 92
How is communication between different Check Point components secured in R80? As with all questions, select the best answer.
- A. By using IPSEC
- B. By using ICA
- C. By using SIC
- D. By using 3DES
Answer: C
Explanation:
The communication between different Check Point components is secured in R80 by using SIC. SIC stands for Secure Internal Communication and it is a mechanism that ensures the authenticity and confidentiality of communication between Check Point components, such as Security Gateways, Security Management Servers, Log Servers, etc.SIC uses certificates issued by the Internal CA (ICA) and encryption algorithms such as AES-25634.

NEW QUESTION # 93
When is a new Revision created?
- A. during installation
- B. during database installation
- C. by executing "set revision" command
- D. during publish
Answer: D
Explanation:
The correct answer is C. A new revision is created when an administrator publishes session changes in SmartConsole. Check Point's session model lets administrators make changes in a private working session without immediately affecting the published management database. When the administrator publishes, those changes become part of the management database, and a revision is created for change tracking and comparison. Option A is wrong because there is no normal SmartConsole workflow where a set revision command creates the revision. Option B is wrong because database installation is not the revision creation trigger. Option D is wrong because installing policy pushes the published policy to gateways; it does not itself define the creation of a new management revision. The CCSA takeaway is that "Publish" commits the management changes and creates a revision; "Install Policy" enforces those published changes on selected gateways. Reference topics: SmartConsole sessions, Publish, revisions, policy installation workflow.
NEW QUESTION # 94
To view statistics on detected threats, which Threat Tool would an administrator use?
- A. ThreatWiki
- B. IPS Protections
- C. Profiles
- D. Protections
Answer: A
Explanation:
ThreatWiki is a web-based tool that provides statistics on detected threats, such as attack types, sources, destinations, and severity. It also allows the administrator to search for specific threats and view their details and mitigation methods. The other options are not tools for viewing statistics on detected threats. [ThreatWiki], [ThreatWiki - Threat Emulation]
NEW QUESTION # 95
What is a role of Publishing?
- A. The Security Management Server installs the updated session and the entire Rule Base on Security Gateways
- B. The Publish operation sends the modifications made via SmartConsole in the private session and makes them public
- C. The Security Management Server installs the updated policy and the entire database on Security Gateways
- D. Modifies network objects, such as servers, users, services, or IPS profiles, but not the Rule Base
Answer: B
Explanation:
The Publish operation sends the modifications made via SmartConsole in the private session and makes them public is the correct answer. This is because publishing is the process of saving your changes to the database and making them available to other administrators. Publishing also allows you to install policies on Security Gateways. [Publishing Changes]
NEW QUESTION # 96
How is an Autonomous Threat Prevention Policy created?
- A. Automatically by AI
- B. Manually downloaded from the Threat Cloud
- C. Automatically downloaded from the Threat Cloud Repository.
- D. Automatically, but the date and time of the updates must be added to a cron job.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer is B as the best available option. Autonomous Threat Prevention relies on Check Point cloud-delivered threat intelligence and predefined profiles that are kept updated automatically.
The phrase "downloaded from the Threat Cloud Repository" is not ideal wording, but it captures the correct principle: policy recommendations and protection updates are cloud-delivered and maintained by Check Point rather than manually built protection by protection. Option A is too vague and marketing-heavy; the policy is not simply "created by AI" as an administrator-facing technical mechanism. Option C is wrong because the point is automation, not manual download. Option D is wrong because administrators do not configure cron jobs for Autonomous Threat Prevention updates.
The operational model is profile selection plus automatic updates, which reduces administrative burden while keeping protections aligned with Check Point's current intelligence. Reference topics:
Autonomous Threat Prevention, ThreatCloud-delivered updates, predefined profiles, automatic configuration updates.
