Check Point Certified Security Master (CCSM) R77 — Question 4

Control connections between the Security Management Server and the Gateway are not encrypted by the VPN Community. How are these connections secured?

Answer options

• A. They are encrypted and authenticated using SIC.
• B. They are not encrypted, but are authenticated by the Gateway
• C. They are secured by PPTP
• D. They are not secured.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because, in this scenario, the connections are not protected by encryption or additional security measures. Option A is incorrect as it states that they are encrypted, which is not the case. Option B incorrectly suggests that authentication alone provides adequate security, and option C is irrelevant as PPTP is not used for securing these specific connections.
