What is the main objective when using Application Control?
The main objective of Application Control is to ensure the security and privacy of information. Application Control helps organizations by providing visibility into which applications are being used, and it can allow, block, or limit the usage of applications based on the organization's policies. This not only helps in reducing the risk of data breaches by controlling the flow of information but also ensures that sensitive data is not exposed or misused. Ensuring security and privacy is a more comprehensive objective compared to filtering specific content.
Terrible verbiage. The word "main" is subjective. I have no suggestion worth mentioning for that reason.
D-A Definition of Application Control The control functions vary based on the business purpose of the specific application, but the main objective is to help ensure the privacy and security of data used by and transmitted between applications.
A is correct. Application control filters specific content based on application signatures and other identificators. It does ensure security, it does not ensure privacy, as the admin can see what applications as well as webapps the end user is trying to access. https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81/WebAdminGuides/EN/CP_R81_NextGenSecurityGateway_Guide/Topics-FWG/Application-Control-Blade.htm "Granular Application Control: Identifies, allows, or blocks thousands of applications. This provides protection against the increasing threat vectors and malware introduced by internet applications."
Answer is D
Answer is D. Page 399 of CCSA R81.10. A is more suitable for URL Filtering
The answer is D.
D seems to be right https://digitalguardian.com/blog/what-application-control
A is wrong. It's the job of Content Awareness to filter out specific content.
A seems right. D speaks a bit about DLP
I would say that A is correct, according to https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk112249 " Examples include internally developed software that needs to be recognized, identifying web traffic coming from a specific referrer (or any other header), blocking or identifying specific file types, and more."
My boss is CCSM Elite and he says the correct is A... jsjsjsjs
Seems correct. https://www.checkpoint.com/cyber-hub/network-security/what-is-application-control/
D is the correct answer
A is correct
I think we should focus on the "main objective" which is "Ensure security and privacy of information." . Sure you can filter out specific content however this is not the primary objective.
