Exam 156-215.81.20 topic 1 question 45 discussion

Correct is B.

I am just doing the 'official' practice exam , it has this exact questions - the Answer is 'Ensure security and privacy of information'. The explanation is: Enabling application control allows us to block applications that forms a security risk like anonymizers.

I would say it's definitely "C". It is used to create granular policies to allow or deny access to Internet Applications based on business requirements. From the CCSA course material on Kortex - App Control main use cases : 1) Learn about applications; 2) Create a granular policy; 3) Track Employees Online Usage; 4) Keep Policies updated, 5) Customize Applications, Sites, categories and groups.

I thing the key point of the question is "the main objective". Answers are too generics. A, is right that see what users are doing, but is not the main objective. B, is right that ensure security but the thing is ensure the privacy of information? Why? Privacy information is done by encryption for example, among others, and Application control does this kind of function? I don't think so. C, Application Control filters out specific content, yes. It seems to be the main objective, at least more than the others answers. D, is like A. So for me is C

it is B

https://www.checkpoint.com/cyber-hub/network-security/what-is-application-control/ The whole idea is to control what applications or what part of the applications are allowed. Like you can view post on FB but you cannot post.

I think it's B B. Ensure security and privacy of information.

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.

It's B
