Check Point Certified Security Expert - R80

The correct answer is Open REST API. Check Point currently supports R80 Management API, Identity Awareness Web Services API, and OPSEC SDK. The R80 Management API is used to interact with the Security Management Server for tasks such as reading information, creating objects, and handling Security Policies. The Identity Awareness Web Services API helps manage identity data for access roles and connections. The OPSEC SDK is used for establishing and monitoring connections between different security components. Open REST API, however, is not listed among the supported APIs by Check Point.

The different command sources that allow you to communicate with the API server include the SmartConsole GUI Console, the mgmt_cli Tool, the Gaia CLI, and Web Services. The SmartConsole GUI Console allows users to execute API commands from a built-in command line interface. The mgmt_cli Tool is a command line tool available on both Windows and Linux that enables users to run API commands without requiring a graphical user interface. The Gaia CLI provides a command line interface on the Security Management Server where administrators can enter API commands. Web Services facilitate communication by sending API commands over an HTTPS connection. Therefore, the correct choice encompasses all these sources.

Anti-Bot is a post-infection malware protection that prevents a host from establishing a connection to a Command & Control Center, which makes it unique compared to other Threat Prevention mechanisms like URL Filtering, Anti-Virus, IPS, and Threat Emulation. This specific function helps in mitigating the impact of a compromise by blocking communications with the attacker's control servers, thereby limiting the ability of the malware to execute harmful functions or exfiltrate data.

The correct method that is NOT used to communicate using the Management API's is invoking commands using Gaia's secure shell (clish). The Management API is typically used through graphical user interfaces such as SmartConsole, command-line interfaces like mgmt_cli, and web-services using HTTP (more accurately HTTPS for security). The use of clish, which is used for configuring Gaia operating systems, is not a method for interacting with the Management APIs.

To check the status of SecureXL and its enabled templates and features, the correct command is 'fwaccel stat'. This command provides comprehensive information about SecureXL's status and the features that are enabled. It is the standard command used for this purpose in the Check Point firewall system.
