Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81.20 — Question 175

What is true about the IPS-Blade?

Answer options

• A. In the IPS Layer, the only three possible actions are Basic, Optimized and Strict
• B. IPS is managed by the Threat Prevention Policy
• C. IPS Exceptions cannot be attached to “all rules”
• D. The GeoPolicy Exceptions and the Threat Prevention Exceptions are the same

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the IPS functionality is indeed managed through the Threat Prevention Policy. Option A is incorrect as it misrepresents the action types available. Option C is false because IPS Exceptions can be configured to apply to all rules, and option D is incorrect since GeoPolicy Exceptions and Threat Prevention Exceptions serve different purposes.
