Junos OS Security Objects
This domain covers the Junos OS security objects you configure under the [edit security] hierarchy on SRX Series devices: zones, screen profiles, address books, applications, and policy objects. Questions test where objects are bound, how screen options map to specific attacks, and how services like TFTP behave when traffic is permitted but still fails.

What to know about Junos OS Security Objects
Be able to configure and bind security objects under [edit security], especially zones and screen profiles, and match each screen option to the attack it detects. The single most important thing is knowing that screen profiles attach to zones, not globally, and that permitted traffic can still fail without proper ALG handling.
Screen options such as IP spoofing, land, ping-of-death, and SYN flood protections
Zone configuration and binding screen profiles to zones under [edit security zones]
Address books, applications, and security policy objects under [edit security]
