Check Point Support in many cases asks you for a configuration summary of your Check Point system. This is also called:
Correct Answer: D
Check Point Support in many cases asks you for a configuration summary of your Check Point system. This is also called cpinfo. Cpinfo is a utility that collects diagnostic data on a Check Point gateway, management server, or log server. It generates a file that contains information such as product version, license details, OS details, network configuration, installed hotfixes, status of Check Point processes, firewall tables, etc. This file can be used by Check Point Support to troubleshoot issues or analyze performance.

You have used the "set inactivity-timeout 120" command to prevent the session to be disconnected after 10 minutes of inactivity. However, the Web session is being disconnected after 10 minutes. Why?
Correct Answer: A
The reason why the web session is being disconnected after 10 minutes is that the idle timeout for the web session is specified with the "set web session-timeout" command, not the "set inactivity-timeout" command. The "set inactivity-timeout" command only affects the CLI session, not the web session. To prevent the web session from being disconnected after 10 minutes of inactivity, you need to use the "set web session-timeout" command with a higher value than 10 minutes.

The ____ software blade package uses CPU-level and OS-level sandboxing in order to detect and block malware.
Correct Answer: B
The software blade package that uses CPU-level and OS-level sandboxing in order to detect and block malware is the Next Generation Threat Emulation. This package is part of the Check Point SandBlast Zero-Day Protection solution, which protects organizations against unknown malware, zero-day threats and targeted attacks, and prevents infections from undiscovered exploits1. CPU-level and OS-level sandboxing are two techniques that Check Point uses to analyze files and objects for malicious behavior. CPU-level inspection is a unique technology that detects malware at the pre-infection stage by examining the CPU instructions that the file executes. This allows Check Point to identify and block malware that tries to evade detection by using obfuscation, encryption, or polymorphism12. OS-level sandboxing is a complementary technology that runs files and objects in a virtualized environment and monitors their behavior for malicious indicators. This allows Check Point to detect and block malware that tries to exploit vulnerabilities in the operating system or applications, or that performs malicious actions such as downloading additional payloads, modifying system settings, or communicating with command and control servers12. Therefore, the correct answer is B) The Next Generation Threat Emulation software blade package uses CPU-level and OS-level sandboxing in order to detect and block malware.

156-315.81 Exam Question 105
How is communication between different Check Point components secured in R81? As with all questions, select the BEST answer.
Correct Answer: B
Communication between different Check Point components is secured by using SIC, which stands for secure internal communication. SIC is a certificate-based channel that uses standards-based TLS 1.2 for creating secure connections and AES128 for encryption. SIC ensures that only authorized components can communicate with each other and that the communication is protected from eavesdropping and tampering. SIC is established by using a one-time password (OTP) that is generated when a Check Point component is created or installed. The OTP is used to initialize the trust relationship between the component and the Security Management Server, which acts as an internal certificate authority (ICA) that issues and revokes certificates for the components.
