Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R80 — Question 145

What is the purpose of a Stealth Rule?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a Stealth Rule is meant to block any traffic that isn't explicitly allowed, ensuring only approved connections are made to the firewall. Options A and B describe different functionalities that are not related to the core purpose of a Stealth Rule. Option D, while similar, does not capture the specific intent to drop traffic directed at the firewall.
