Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R80 — Question 123

What is true about the IPS-Blade?

Answer options

• A. In R80, IPS is managed by the Threat Prevention Policy
• B. In R80, in the IPS Layer, the only three possible actions are Basic, Optimized and Strict
• C. In R80, IPS Exceptions cannot be attached to ג€all rulesג€
• D. In R80, the GeoPolicy Exceptions and the Threat Prevention Exceptions are the same

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because, in R80, the management of IPS is indeed done through the Threat Prevention Policy, allowing for comprehensive threat management. Option B is incorrect as there are more than just three possible actions in the IPS Layer. Option C is false as IPS Exceptions can be associated with 'all rules', and option D is wrong because GeoPolicy and Threat Prevention Exceptions are distinct and serve different purposes.
