What are the attributes that SecureXL will check after the connection is allowed by Security Policy?

The attributes that SecureXL checks after a connection is permitted by the security policy include the source address, destination address, source port, destination port, and protocol. These attributes are significant as they define the specific characteristics of network traffic and are used for performance optimization and connection tracking.

SecureXL, being part of Check Point's architecture, is designed to enhance the throughput and efficiency of traffic handling by offloading certain processing tasks. Once a connection has passed the defined security rules in the firewall policy, SecureXL can use these attributes to either take further actions—such as managing session tables—or apply optimizations like connection acceleration.

The inclusion of the source and destination addresses is pivotal in ensuring that the packet can be tracked throughout its journey up to the endpoint. Likewise, the source and destination ports help determine the communication path and the specific applications or services involved. The protocol is also a critical factor as it indicates how the data should be processed and routed.

Other options lack one or more attributes that are essential for SecureXL’s comprehensive understanding of the connection. For instance, omitting either the protocol or either the source or destination address limits the ability to utilize the full breadth of SecureXL’s capabilities. Therefore, the correct answer encapsulates all the necessary elements that Secure
