Palo Alto Networks Certified Cybersecurity Associate (PCCSA) — Question 2

Which security component should be used to prevent a malware attack delivered by USB drive?

Answer options

• A. endpoint security
• B. password security
• C. physical security
• D. firewall security

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Physical security is essential for preventing unauthorized access to devices and media, such as USB drives, which can carry malware. While endpoint security can help detect and remove malware, it does not physically prevent the insertion of a malicious USB. Password security and firewall security are not designed to address threats from physical devices like USB drives.
