Question 53

What is the main objective when using Application Control?

    Correct Answer: D

    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.

truserudOption: A

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."

EssentialDOption: B

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.
