Aaron is a Cyber Security Engineer working for Global Law Firm with large scale deployment of Check Point Enterprise Appliances using GAiA/R80.10.
Company’s Network Security Developer Team is having issue testing new API with newly deployed R80.10 Security Management Server and blames Check
Point Security Management Server as root cause. The ticket has been created and issue is at Aaron’s desk for an investigation. What do you recommend as the
best suggestion for Aaron to make sure API testing works as expected?

A

Aaron should check API Server status from expert CLI by “api status” and if it’s stopped he should start using command “api start” on Security Management
Server.

SecureXL

A

Check Point security acceleration technology that accelerates multiple, intensive security operations, including operations carried out by Check Point’s

320
Q

SecureXL traffic flow

A

Firewall Path (Slow) — Packets and connections that are inspected by the Firewall. These packets and connections are not processed by SecureXL. This path is also referred to as the Slow Path.
Accelerated Path — Packets and connections that are offloaded from the Firewall to SecureXL. These packets and connections are quickly processed.
Medium Path — Packets that cannot use the accelerated path because they require deeper inspection. Although it is not necessary for the Firewall to inspect these packets, they can be offloaded by another feature. For example, packets that are examined by IPS cannot use the accelerated path and can be offloaded to the IPS Passive Streaming Library (PSL), which provides stream reassembly for TCP connections. As a result, SecureXL processes these packets quicker than packets on the slow path.

321
Q

A 
Source address 
Destination address

VPN Installation Options

A
  1. Client-based — In this solution, the client application is installed on endpoint computers and devices. Clients are usually installed on a managed device, such as a company-owned computer or device. The client supplies access to most types of corporate resources according to the access privileges of the user.
  2. Clientless — In this solution, users connect through a web browser and use HTTPS connections instead of connecting through a managed device. Clientless solutions usually supply access to web-based corporate resources.
  3. On Demand Client — This remote access solution blends the first two options. A user connects with a web browser and installs a client when necessary. The client supplies access privileges to most types of corporate resources according to the access privileges of the user.

360
Q

What is the difference between an SSL VPN and an IPSec VPN?

A
  1. In the SSL VPN solution, users can connect securely to business web-based applications through a web portal, which can be accessed using a web browser. This solution does not require users to install a VPN agent or client and can be configured to enforce two-factor authentication.
  2. IPSec, Layer 3 VPN requires remote workers to install a VPN client before gaining access to corporate resources. Once a user installs the client, the Layer 3 VPN provides a secured connection to both web-based and native business applications.

383
Q

How does SandBlast Threat Emulation and Threat Extraction prevent threats like zero-day attacks and APT?

A

To prevent these threats, Threat Emulation performs CPU-level inspection of incoming files to look for signs of exploit methods. It runs the inspection in a sandbox environment, away from the organization’s network. If files exhibit malicious routines, Threat Emulation deletes them promptly.
While Threat Emulation performs the inspection, Threat Extraction provides a clean, sanitized version of the file. This is to avoid any disruption to the company’s daily operations.

384
Q

How does IPS complement the Firewall Software Blade when it comes to preventing threats?

A

While Firewall blocks network traffic based on source, destination, and port information, IPS analyzes its contents. This is to prevent threats such as drive by download, which are known to hide malicious codes behind hijacked, legitimate websites.
