Check Point Certified Threat Prevention Expert (CCTPE) — Question 50

How does the Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) service deliver intelligence threat feeds, enforce compliance policies, and apply security enhancements to the environment?

Answer options

• A. The Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) does this by using the SOAP protocol and XML
• B. The Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) does this by using SSH and microagents
• C. The Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) does this by using REST APIs
• D. The Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) does this by using SIC connections on the cloud

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as REST APIs provide a modern and efficient method for CSPM to interact with cloud services, enabling it to deliver threat intelligence, enforce compliance, and enhance security. Options A and D are outdated or less common protocols that do not align with CSPM functionalities, while option B involves SSH, which is primarily used for secure shell access rather than for CSPM operations.
