Question 59

The Administrator wishes to update IPS protections from SmartConsole by clicking on the option `Update Now` under the Updates tab in Threat Tools. Which device requires internet access for the update to work?

    Correct Answer: C

    For updating IPS protections via SmartConsole by clicking 'Update Now,' the device that requires internet access is the Security Management Server. The Security Management Server is responsible for managing and updating security policies, including IPS protections. The 'Update Now' function typically performs the update using the Security Management Server by default. Therefore, for the update process to be successful, the Security Management Server must have internet connectivity to fetch the latest updates from the IPS website.

You don't have to click to the dropdown menu, you can just click "Update now" and "Download using Security Management server" is preselected as a default option. The question doesn't mention the dropdown menu, just update now button.

You're contradicting yourself. First, you say "you only need Internet on the device with Smart Console." but in your steps you clarify that " select: Download with SmartConsole - If your Security Management Server has no internet access.". The last part of that statement is key, meaning that you only need internet access from SmartConsole PC, if the SMS does not have internet connectivity

CCSAChallenger

He is not, read it again. You can do it without having internet on your SMS, so optional. On the other hand, having internet in SmartConsole is necessary.

RPM99Option: C

C. Only the Security Management Server The Security Management Server is responsible for managing and updating security policies, including IPS protections. The Security Gateway (option A) enforces these policies but does not directly fetch updates from the internet. SmartConsole (option B) is the management interface, and while it is used to configure policies, the actual update process is initiated by the Security Management Server. Therefore, internet access is needed for the Security Management Server to fetch the latest IPS.

CCSAChallengerOption: D

To update IPS Protections: In SmartConsole, click Security Policies > Threat Prevention. In the Threat Tools section, click Updates. In the IPS section > Update Now, from the drop-down menu, select: Download with SmartConsole - If your Security Management Server has no internet access. Download with Security Management Server Offline Update - If you want to manually upload the file. Select the required file for the update and click Open. Install Policy.
