Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R81 — Question 131

An administrator wishes to use Application objects in a rule in their policy, but there are no Application objects listed as options to add when clicking the "+" to add new items to the "Services & Applications" column of a rule. What should be done to fix this?

Answer options

• A. The administrator should drag-and-drop the needed Application objects from the Object Explorer into the new rule.
• B. The "Application Control" blade should be enabled on a gateway.
• C. "Applications & URL Filtering" should first be enabled on the policy layer where the rule is being created.
• D. The administrator should first create some applications to add to the rule.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because enabling 'Applications & URL Filtering' on the policy layer is necessary for Application objects to be available for use in rules. Options A and D are incorrect as simply dragging objects or creating new applications will not resolve the issue of visibility. Option B is also incorrect because the Application Control blade being enabled does not directly relate to the availability of Application objects in the specific policy layer context.
