NO.76 Which solution allows administrators to manage, control, and monitor access to important resources in your Azure environment?

Azure Open Directory Service

Azure Active Directory

iPlanet Directory Service

Azure Directory Federation Service

NO.77 Which APIs are used by Public clouds and Hybrid clouds to support the interactions between cloud resources, on-premises equipment, scripts, orchestration playbooks and CloudGuard Network cloud resources, on-premise equipment, scripts?

CloudGuard Management Extension API (CME-API)

CloudGuard Controller API (CG-API)

Representational State Transfer (REST) APIs

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)

NO.78 Which cloud components specify the Workloads associated with traffic and tell load balancers which Workloads are members of the same group?

Target Groups

Listening Rules

Dynamic assignment

Health Checks

NO.79 What type of traffic passes through the South Hub according to the Cloud Security Blueprint?

East-West traffic between workload spokes and Spokes to Internet (Egress) traffic but traffic between Cloud and on-premise network is not passing through any hub

Only traffic between Cloud and on-premise network for hybrid cloud environments

East-West traffic between workload spokes, Spokes to Internet (Egress) traffic, traffic between Cloud Instances, and on-premise network for hybrid cloud environments

East-West traffic between workload spokes only

NO.80 What are two basic rules Check Point recommends for building an effective policy?

VPN and Admin Rules

Implicit and Explicit Rules

Cleanup and Stealth Rule

Access and Identity Rules

NO.81 Deploying CloudGuard IaaS security solutions involves which process?

One that launches virtual machines quickly

One that quickly enables network configuration

One that creates threat prevention boundaries

Moving hardware to another SDN

NO.82 In what way does CloudGuard’s Identity Awareness feature benefit cloud security?

By offering discounts on cloud services

By identifying and controlling user access across the cloud

By providing weather updates to optimize server performance

By increasing manual security checks

NO.83 Phase 1 of the CloudGuard Controller workflow consists of ___________________ .

Connect to the Cloud, Retrieve Cloud Resources

Retrieve Cloud Resources, Manual Security Policy Installation

Connect to the Cloud, Import Data Center Object

Import Data Center Object, Retrieve Cloud Resources

NO.84 The Auto Scaling solution is an example of which of the following?

Horizontal scaling

Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service

Vertical scaling

Amazon Elastic Container Service

NO.85 In the Cloud Security Blueprint, the North Hub handles…

House the cloud Workloads

Non-transitive traffic between peered networks

Internal spoke to spoke traffic, Spoke to Internet (Egress) traffic, and cloud to on-premises traffic

Inbound and customer-facing traffic

NO.86 An organization is using an adaptive security policy where a Data Center Object was imported and used in some rules. When the cloud resource represented by this object changes it’s IP address, how will the change be effected on the Security Gateway

If CloudGuard Controller is enabled on the Security Gateway, the gateway will connect with the Cloud account and synchronize all the Data Center Objects used on

With a property functioning configuration, the change will automatically be done on the Security Gateway without any action required by the administrator

The Data Center Object needs to be refreshed in the SmartCansoIe and then a policy install will be required

The change is automatically updated to the Security Management Server and so only a policy install from SmartConsole or with API will be required
