Palo Alto Networks Network Security Analyst — Question 9

A security administrator wants to determine which action a URL Filtering profile will take on the URL "www.chatgpt.com." The firewall has a custom URL object with "www.chatgpt.com/" as a member called "Permitted-AI." The URL "www.chatgpt.com" is also categorized as "Artificial-Intelligence, " "Computer-and-Internet-Info," and "Low-Risk." The URL Filtering profile has the following in descending order:
• Artificial-Intelligence set to continue
• Computer-and-Internet-Info set to block
• Low-Risk set to alert
• Permitted-AI set to allow
Which action will the URL Filtering profile take when traffic matches the "www.chatgpt.com" URL on a rule with this profile attached?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The URL Filtering profile will take the action associated with the highest priority category that applies to the URL. Since 'Permitted-AI' is set to allow and takes precedence over the block and alert settings for 'Computer-and-Internet-Info' and 'Low-Risk,' the correct action is 'Allow.' The other options are incorrect as they either imply blocking or alerting, which are overridden by the allow setting.
