Palo Alto Networks Certified Cybersecurity Associate (PCCSA) — Question 7

From which resource can a Palo Alto Networks firewall get URL category information for URLs whose categories cannot be found on the firewall?

Answer options

• A. App-ID database
• B. WildFire
• C. PDF file
• D. PAN-DB database

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as the PAN-DB database is specifically designed to provide URL categorization that the firewall may not have locally. The App-ID database (A) and WildFire (B) serve different functions related to application identification and malware analysis, respectively, while a PDF file (C) is not a valid category source.
