Why each option
In Check Point Hide NAT, the source IP address is translated, allowing many internal hosts to share a single external IP address.
Hide NAT functions similarly to Port Address Translation (PAT), replacing the source IP of outgoing packets with a single external IP - typically the gateway's interface address. This hides the internal network topology from external hosts and enables many-to-one address sharing. The source field in the connection is what undergoes translation.
Static NAT creates a one-to-one permanent address mapping and can apply to either source or destination, so it is not exclusively defined by source translation alone.
'Simple' is not a recognized or standard NAT type in the Check Point NAT framework.
Hide NAT translates the source address, not the destination; translating the destination is associated with Static NAT or Destination NAT rules.
