Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81 — Question 239

SecureXL improves non-encrypted firewall traffic throughput and encrypted VPN traffic throughput.

Answer options

• A. False, because SecureXL does not improve this traffic but CoreXL does
• B. True, because SecureXL does improve all traffic
• C. False because encrypted traffic cannot be inspected
• D. True, because SecureXL does improve this traffic

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because SecureXL is designed to optimize the performance of both non-encrypted and encrypted traffic. Option A is incorrect as SecureXL does improve certain traffic types, and CoreXL focuses on multi-core processing. Option B is misleading as it implies that SecureXL improves all traffic types without exception, which is not accurate. Option C is wrong because while encrypted traffic poses challenges, it can still be processed with the right configurations.
