Check Point Certified Security Administrator (CCSA) Practice Exam

By default, which port does the WebUI listen on?

1. 8080

2. 80

3. 4434

4. 443

The correct answer is: 443

The WebUI of Check Point appliances listens on port 443 by default. This port is designated for HTTPS traffic, which ensures that the communications between the client's web browser and the WebUI are encrypted, enhancing the security of the management interface. Using HTTPS helps protect sensitive data transmitted across the network from eavesdropping and tampering. While other ports listed may be associated with web traffic—such as port 80 for HTTP (unencrypted traffic) and port 8080, often used for alternative web services or proxies—port 443 is specifically chosen for secure web applications and management interfaces. Port 4434 is not commonly associated with Check Point WebUI, making 443 the appropriate default port for secure management access.
