Palo Alto Networks Cybersecurity Entry-Level Technician (PCCET) — Question 76

What is a key benefit of Cortex XDR?

Answer options

• A. It acts as a safety net during an attack while patches are developed.
• B. It secures internal network traffic against unknown threats.
• C. It manages applications accessible on endpoints.
• D. It reduces the need for network security.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because Cortex XDR is designed to enhance security by monitoring and securing internal network traffic, specifically against unknown threats.
