Check Point Certified Security Master (CCSM) R80 — Question 13

SecureXL improves non-encrypted firewall traffic throughput and encrypted VPN traffic throughput.

Answer options

• A. This statement is true because SecureXL does improve all traffic
• B. This statement is false because SecureXL does not improve this traffic but CoreXL does
• C. This statement is true because SecureXL does improve this traffic
• D. This statement is false because encrypted traffic cannot be inspected

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because SecureXL is designed to optimize both non-encrypted and encrypted traffic throughput. Option A is misleading as it suggests that SecureXL improves all traffic types without exception, while B incorrectly attributes the performance improvement of encrypted traffic to CoreXL. Option D is also incorrect as SecureXL can indeed optimize encrypted traffic to some extent.
