Check Point Certified Troubleshooting Expert (CCTE) — Question 36

Which of the following is not protected by the Full Disk Encryption (FDE) software?
1) Client’s user data
2) Operating system files
3) Temporary files
4) Erased files

Answer options

• A. Temporary and erased files
• B. All of these are protected with FDE
• C. Erased files
• D. Temporary files

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as Full Disk Encryption protects all types of data stored on the disk, including user data, operating system files, temporary files, and even erased files until they are overwritten. Options A, C, and D incorrectly imply that certain categories of files are unprotected, which is not the case with FDE.
