Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R80 — Question 162

Which type of attack can a firewall NOT prevent?

Answer options

• A. Network Bandwidth Saturation
• B. Buffer Overflow
• C. SYN Flood
• D. SQL Injection

Correct answer: A

Explanation

A firewall is primarily designed to filter traffic and enforce security policies, but it cannot prevent network bandwidth saturation as this is more related to the overall capacity and management of network resources. On the other hand, a buffer overflow, SYN flood, and SQL injection are types of attacks that can be mitigated or detected by firewalls using specific rules and signatures.
