Check Point Certified Multi-Domain Security Management Specialist (CCMS) — Question 57

When dealing with monolithic operating systems such as Gaia, where are system calls initiated from to achieve a required system level function?

Answer options

• A. Kernel Mode
• B. Slow Path
• C. Medium Path
• D. User Mode

Correct answer: D

Explanation

System calls in monolithic operating systems like Gaia are initiated from User Mode, allowing applications to request services from the OS. Kernel Mode operates at a higher privilege level and does not initiate user requests. The Slow Path and Medium Path are not standard terms associated with system call initiation.
