Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R80 — Question 379

To optimize Rule Base efficiency the most hit rules should be where?

Answer options

• A. Removed from the Rule Base.
• B. Towards the middle of the Rule Base.
• C. Towards the top of the Rule Base.
• D. Towards the bottom of the Rule Base.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The most hit rules should be towards the top of the Rule Base to ensure they are evaluated first, which improves performance. Removing them or placing them in the middle or bottom would lead to slower rule processing, as the system would need to evaluate more rules before reaching the most frequently triggered ones.
