Palo Alto Networks Certified Detection and Remediation Analyst (PCDRA) — Question 60

Which function describes the removal of a specific file from its location on a local or removable drive to a protected folder to prevent the file from being executed?

Answer options

• A. Search & destroy
• B. Quarantine
• C. Isolation
• D. Flag for removal

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is 'Quarantine' because it specifically refers to the process of isolating a file to prevent its execution. The other options do not accurately describe this function; 'Search & destroy' relates to finding and eliminating malware, 'Isolation' is a broader concept that may not involve file movement, and 'Flag for removal' suggests marking a file for deletion rather than securing it.
