Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R81 — Question 222

Fill in the blank: A(n) __________ rule is created by an administrator and configured to allow or block traffic based on specified criteria.

Answer options

• A. Inline
• B. Explicit
• C. Implicit accept
• D. Implicit drop

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as an explicit rule is one that is specifically defined by the administrator to control traffic.
