CheckPoint 156-536 Exam - Topic 2 Question 30 Discussion

The CEO of the company uses the latest Check Point Endpoint client on his laptop. All capabilities are enabled, and FDE has been applied. The CEO is on a business trip and remembers that he needs to send some important emails, so he is forced to boot up his laptop in a public area. However, he suddenly needs to leave and forgets to lock or shut down his computer. The laptop remains unattended. Is the CEO's data secured?
A) The data is not secured. The laptop was left unlocked in the email client window. Everyone who accesses the laptop, before it automatically locks, has access to all data.
B) The laptop is not secure because anyone in the local connected Wi-Fi can access the CEO's corporate data.
C) The laptop is totally secure since the Endpoint client will automatically detect the emergency and has set the OS in hibernate mode.
D) The laptop is using the latest technology for Full Disk Encryption. Anyone who finds the laptop can't access its data due to the data encryption used.

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Full Disk Encryption (FDE) primarily protects data when the computer is turned off or locked. If the laptop is booted and left unattended without being locked or shut down, the encryption does not actively protect data at the moment. Anyone who gains physical access to the device during this time can view and access all open data and applications until the computer auto-locks or is manually locked.

Exact Extract from Official Document:

'Pre-boot Protection requires users to authenticate to their computers before the computer boots. This prevents unauthorized access to the operating system using authentication bypass tools at the operating system level or alternative boot media to bypass boot protection.' This implies that once booted and logged in, the data is accessible if the laptop is left unattended and unlocked.
