Security Gateway (A): The Security Gateway is the actual device (physical or virtual) that enforces security policies. While the software blades provide the functionality on the Security Gateway, they aren't directly attached to the hardware itself in terms of licensing and management.
Security Gateway container (B): This is the correct answer. In Check Point's licensing and management model, a "container" represents a license for a specific Check Point product, such as a Security Gateway. When you acquire software blades (e.g., Firewall, IPS, Anti-Bot, Anti-Virus, URL Filtering), you attach these blade licenses to the relevant Security Gateway container in your management system (SmartConsole). This container then allows you to activate those features on the actual Security Gateway instances associated with that container.
Horrible trick question it seems, I am thinking its A. Based on the manual, each Software Blade is indeed attached to a Software Container, which enables its functionality and defines its purpose but the three types of Software Containers -
Security Management
Security Gateway
Endpoint Security
Going with Security Gateway (Option A), as it is one of the types of Software Containers that can have Software Blades attached to it
CCSA 81.20 Manual:
Each Software Blade is attached a Software Container. The Software
Container enables the Software Blade functionality and defines the Blade's
purpose. The three types of Software Containers are:
• Security Management
• Security Gateway
• Endpoint Security
Page 319 CCSA 81.20 Manual:
Each Software Blade is attached a Software Container. The Software

**CHATGPT** - Check Point’s Software Blades are modular security components that you can enable on Security Gateways (firewalls) and Security Management Servers. These blades allow you to customize security features based on your needs.
The correct answer is A.
Security Gateway. Security Gateway software blades must be attached directly to a Security Gateway because these blades provide specific security functionalities that are enabled and enforced on the Security Gateway itself.
