How would you deploy TE250X Check Point appliance just for email traffic and in-line mode without a Check Point Security Gateway?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

To deploy a TE250X Check Point appliance just for email traffic and in-line mode without a Check Point Security Gateway, you can utilize Check Point Cloud Services. In this scenario, you can leverage cloud-based email security services provided by Check Point without the need for an on-premises Security Gateway.

Option C correctly states that you can use only Check Point Cloud Services for this scenario, making it the verified answer.

Haha, option D is the only one that makes sense. Trying to run email security without a Security Gateway is like trying to run Windows without a computer.
