Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R81.20 — Question 83

Which of the following technologies extracts detailed information from packets and stores that information in different tables?

Answer options

• A. Application Layer Firewall
• B. Packet Filtering
• C. Next-Generation Firewall
• D. Stateful Inspection

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Stateful Inspection is the correct answer because it monitors the state of active connections and can extract detailed information from packets, storing this data for enhanced security. In contrast, an Application Layer Firewall focuses on application traffic, Packet Filtering only checks headers without maintaining state, and Next-Generation Firewalls provide additional features but still rely on stateful inspection for packet analysis.
