Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R80 — Question 115
What makes Anti-Bot unique compared to other Threat Prevention mechanisms, such as URL Filtering, Anti-Virus, IPS, and Threat Emulation?
Answer options
- A. Anti-Bot is the only countermeasure against unknown malware
- B. Anti-Bot is the only protection mechanism which starts a counter-attack against known Command & Control Centers
- C. Anti-Bot is the only signature-based method of malware protection.
- D. Anti-Bot is a post-infection malware protection to prevent a host from establishing a connection to a Command & Control Center.
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is D because Anti-Bot specifically focuses on preventing infected hosts from communicating with Command & Control Centers, which is a unique post-infection approach. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they misrepresent the capabilities of Anti-Bot and confuse it with other mechanisms that either focus on unknown threats, initiate counter-attacks, or rely solely on signature-based detection.
