Palo Alto Networks Certified Cybersecurity Associate (PCCSA) — Question 22

On an endpoint, which method should you use to secure applications against exploits?

Answer options

• A. full-disk encryption
• B. strong user passwords
• C. software patches
• D. endpoint-based firewall

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct choice, D, refers to an endpoint-based firewall, which monitors and controls incoming and outgoing network traffic based on predetermined security rules, providing protection against exploits. Although A, B, and C are important security measures, they do not specifically address exploitation of applications like a firewall does.
