Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R81 — Question 146

What is the purpose of a Stealth Rule?

Answer options

• A. A rule that allows administrators to access SmartConsole from any device.
• B. To drop any traffic destined for the firewall that is not otherwise explicitly allowed.
• C. A rule at the end of your policy to drop any traffic that is not explicitly allowed.
• D. A rule used to hide a server's IP address from the outside world.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, accurately describes the function of a Stealth Rule, which is to drop unpermitted traffic aimed at the firewall. Options A and D misinterpret the purpose of the rule, while C, though somewhat similar, is not as precise as B regarding the traffic being dropped specifically aimed at the firewall.
