Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) R80 — Question 83

The Administrator wishes to update IPS protections from SmartConsole by clicking on the option `Update Now` under the Updates tab in Threat Tools. Which device requires internet access for the update to work?

Answer options

• A. Security Gateway only
• B. Only the device where SmartConsole is installed
• C. Only the Security Management Server
• D. Either the Security Management Server or device where SmartConsole is installed

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the device running SmartConsole needs internet access to download the updates directly. The Security Management Server and Security Gateway do not require internet access for this action, as they rely on the updates being pushed from the device where SmartConsole is installed.
