Which of the following is considered to be the more secure and preferred VPN authentication method?

  1. Password
  2. Certificate
  3. MD5
  4. Pre-shared secret

Answer(s): B


Reference:

Certificate-based authentication is considered to be the more secure and preferred VPN authentication method. It uses digital certificates to verify the identity of the VPN client and server, and provides stronger encryption and mutual authentication. Password-based authentication methods are less secure and more vulnerable to brute-force attacks, phishing, and keylogging. MD5 is a hashing algorithm, not an authentication method. Pre-shared secret is a symmetric key that is shared between the VPN peers, but it can be compromised if it is not changed frequently or stored securely12

When a Security Gateway sends its logs to an IP address other than its own, which deployment option is installed?

  1. Distributed
  2. Standalone
  3. Bridge Mode
  4. Targeted

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

When a Security Gateway sends its logs to an IP address other than its own, it means that the deployment option is distributed. In a distributed deployment, the Security Management Server and the Security Gateway are installed on separate machines. The Security Management Server collects logs from one or more Security Gateways and manages them centrally. In a standalone deployment, the Security Management Server and the Security Gateway are installed on the same machine. The Security Gateway sends logs to its own IP address. In a bridge mode deployment, the Security

Gateway acts as a transparent bridge between two network segments and does not have an IP address of its own. In a targeted deployment, the Security Gateway sends logs to a specific log server that is configured in the gateway object properties34

In ____________ NAT, the ____________ is translated.

  1. Hide; source
  2. Static; source
  3. Simple; source
  4. Hide; destination

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

In hide NAT, the source IP address is translated. Hide NAT is also known as many-to-one NAT or PAT (Port Address Translation). It maps multiple private IP addresses to one public IP address by using different port numbers. Hide NAT allows outbound connections from the private network to the public network, but not inbound connections from the public network to the private network. In static NAT, the source or destination IP address is translated depending on the direction of the traffic. Static NAT is also known as one-to-one NAT or bi-directional NAT. It maps one private IP address to one public IP address and allows both outbound and inbound connections. In simple NAT, there is no translation of IP addresses. Simple NAT is also known as routing mode or transparent mode. It allows traffic to pass through the NAT device without any modification. There is no hide NAT for destination IP address translation5678

An administrator wishes to enable Identity Awareness on the Check Point firewalls. However they allow users to use company issued or personal laptops. Since the administrator cannot manage the personal laptops, which of the following methods would BEST suit this company?

  1. AD Query
  2. Browser-Based Authentication
  3. Identity Agents
  4. Terminal Servers Agent

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Browser-Based Authentication is the best method for enabling Identity Awareness on the Check Point firewalls for users who use company issued or personal laptops. Browser-Based Authentication redirects users to a web page where they enter their credentials to access the network resources. This method does not require any installation or configuration on the user's device and supports any operating system and browser. AD Query is a method that queries Active Directory servers for user login events and maps them to IP addresses. This method does not work for personal laptops that are not joined to the domain. Identity Agents are software agents that run on Windows or macOS devices and provide user and machine identity information to the firewall. This method requires installation and management of the agents on each device, which may not be feasible for personal laptops. Terminal Servers Agent is a method that identifies users who connect to Windows Terminal Servers or Citrix servers via RDP or ICA protocols. This method does not apply to laptops that connect directly to the network910
