Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R81 — Question 125
When comparing Stateful Inspection and Packet Filtering, what is a benefit that Stateful Inspection offers over Packer Filtering?
Answer options
- A. Stateful Inspection offers unlimited connections because of virtual memory usage.
- B. Stateful Inspection offers no benefits over Packet Filtering.
- C. Stateful Inspection does not use memory to record the protocol used by the connection.
- D. Only one rule is required for each connection.
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer, D, is true because Stateful Inspection can manage the state of connections with one rule, unlike Packet Filtering which may require multiple rules for different packets. Option A is incorrect as Stateful Inspection does not offer unlimited connections, B is false because there are advantages, and C is misleading since Stateful Inspection does use memory to track connection states.
