Check Point Certified Security Expert (CCSE) R80 — Question 254

Which of the following technologies extracts detailed information from packets and stores that information in state tables?

Answer options

• A. INSPECT Engine
• B. Stateful Inspection
• C. Packet Filtering
• D. Application Layer Firewall

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The INSPECT Engine is specifically designed to analyze packet details and maintain state tables for tracking connections. While Stateful Inspection does relate to managing state, it doesn't directly refer to the technology that extracts and stores packet information. Packet Filtering primarily focuses on allowing or blocking packets based on predefined rules and does not involve detailed state management. An Application Layer Firewall targets specific applications but does not inherently extract detailed packet information in the same manner as the INSPECT Engine.
