QuestionQ137

Application Control and URL Filtering

Which Control Model type is used for Application Control & URL Filtering and Content Awareness Policy?

  • A Permissive Control Model (also known as Whitelist Model)
  • B Restrictive Control Model (also known as Blacklist Model)
  • C Positive Control Model (also known as Whitelist Model)
  • D Negative Control Model (also known as Blacklist Model)
Explanation

Check Point defines two named enforcement models: a Positive Control Model (Whitelist) that permits only what is explicitly allowed, and a Negative Control Model (Blacklist) that blocks only what is explicitly denied. Application Control & URL Filtering together with Content Awareness in the unified Access Control Policy are described as using the Positive Control Model, where the administrator explicitly defines the applications, sites and content that are permitted. 'Permissive' and 'Restrictive' are distractor labels that Check Point does not use for these blades, so options A and B are eliminated. The Positive/Whitelist wording makes C correct rather than the Negative/Blacklist option D.
