R80 is supported by which of the following operating systems:

Prof. SaraFeb 21, 2026

The answer is B, Gaia only, because starting with R80, Check Point dropped support for SecurePlatform (SPLAT) and Windows as management OS options, consolidating everything onto the Gaia operating system. If you see any option that includes SecurePlatform or Windows alongside R80, eliminate it immediately, that pairing belongs to the R77 era and earlier.

I keep seeing old study guides list SecurePlatform as still valid for R80, but from what I can tell Check Point consolidated everything into Gaia and left SPLAT behind. Can someone confirm whether SecurePlatform support was fully dropped at R80 specifically, or did it linger into some minor releases before being cut?

My first instinct was C, because I remembered that older versions like R77 ran on Gaia, SecurePlatform, and Windows, and I kind of carried that assumption forward without thinking about when things changed. What clicked for me was remembering that R80 was a pretty significant release, and Check Point used it as the cutoff point to standardize on Gaia only, dropping SecurePlatform and Windows management support entirely. Once I tied the version number to that consolidation decision, B stopped feeling like a trick and started feeling obvious. If you got tripped up here, it just means you know the older platform well, which is actually a good sign for the rest of the exam.

Gaia only, right? So did they fully drop SecurePlatform support in R80?

Hiroshi T.Feb 16, 2026

Starting with R80, Check Point dropped support for SecurePlatform and Windows as management OS options, leaving Gaia as the sole supported operating system. The sk106052 release notes and the R80 Planning and Deployment guide both confirm this, so B is the only defensible choice here.
