The correct answer is D. IPS, Antivirus and Antibot . Threat Prevention updates can be scheduled automatically, but administrators can also manually trigger updates for the major signature/intelligence-driven Threat Prevention blades. Check Point’s scheduled-update documentation states that automatic gateway updates can be configured for Anti-Virus , Anti-Bot , Threat Emulation , and IPS blades. It also explains that Anti-Virus, Anti-Bot, and Threat Emulation gateways download updates directly from the Check Point cloud, while IPS update behavior changed from management-based enforcement before R80.20 to gateway direct download starting in R80.20.
In the exam context, the manually triggered signature-update set is IPS, Anti-Virus, and Anti-Bot. These blades depend heavily on continuously updated threat intelligence, signatures, malicious domains, command-and-control intelligence, malware classification, and IPS protection packages. Option B is too narrow because IPS is not the only manually updateable Threat Prevention component. Option C is incomplete because it omits Anti-Bot. Option A is not a valid update-set answer. Operationally, manual updates are used when an urgent threat advisory, lab recommendation, incident response condition, or failed scheduled update requires immediate refresh of protection data.
