CCSA Exam - Question 36


URL Filtering cannot be used to:

Show Answer
Correct Answer: D

URL Filtering cannot be used to control bandwidth issues. URL filtering is primarily used to manage access to websites by blocking or allowing access based on categories, users, groups, or machines. It helps improve organizational security, decrease legal liability, and control data security by preventing access to inappropriate or malicious websites. However, managing bandwidth, which involves limiting the amount of traffic or prioritizing certain applications, typically falls under the domain of Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, not URL filtering.

Correct answer is D. URL filtering is not a feature that control anything that has to do with bandwidth control/issue, that is the work of QoS.

I did not take the bootcamp but I cannot see how URLF controls bandwidth, that is usually handled by QoS feature. QoS leverages the industry's most advanced traffic inspection and bandwidth control technologies. Refer to https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81.10/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R81.10_QoS_AdminGuide/Topics-QoSG/Introduction-to-QoS.htm D is the correct one

Answer is D URL Filtering is a blade that enables administrators to control access to millions of websites by category, users, groups, and machines. URL Filtering can be used to improve organizational security, decrease legal liability, and control data security by preventing users from accessing malicious or inappropriate websites. However, URL Filtering cannot be used to control bandwidth issues, such as limiting the amount of traffic or prioritizing certain applications over others. For that purpose, other blades such as QoS (Quality of Service) or SecureXL are more suitable. Reference: Check Point R81 URL Filtering Administration Guide

URL Filtering can control bandwidth issues by blocking high bandwidth sites. Other tools can priorities or shape the bandwidth. But URL filtering can be used to block YouTube, Netflix etc.. .completely to control bandwidth.

A. Control Data Security URL Filtering is primarily used to control access to websites, improve organizational security by blocking malicious sites, decrease legal liability by preventing access to inappropriate content, and control bandwidth issues by restricting access to high-bandwidth sites. However, it is not specifically designed to control data security, which involves protecting data from unauthorized access and ensuring data integrity and confidentiality.

D. Control Bandwidth issues URL Filtering is primarily used to block or allow access to specific websites or categories of websites to improve organizational security, control data security, and decrease legal liability. However, it is not designed to directly manage or control bandwidth issues, which would typically require Quality of Service (QoS) or traffic shaping tools.
