Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R81 — Question 319

What happen when IPS profile is set in Detect Only Mode for troubleshooting?

Answer options

• A. It will not block malicious traffic
• B. Automatically uploads debugging logs to Check Point Support Center
• C. It will generate Geo-Protection traffic
• D. Bypass licenses requirement for Geo-Protection control

Correct answer: A

Explanation

When the IPS profile is set to Detect Only Mode, it monitors and logs malicious traffic without actively blocking it, which is why option A is correct. The other options do not accurately describe the behavior of the IPS in this mode, as it does not automatically upload logs, generate additional traffic, or bypass licensing requirements.
