Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 123

Which statement is true regarding a Best Practice Assessment?

Answer options

• A. It runs only on firewalls.
• B. It shows how current configuration compares to Palo Alto Networks recommendations.
• C. When guided by an authorized sales engineer, it helps determine the areas of greatest risk where you should focus prevention activities.
• D. It provides a set of questionnaires that help uncover security risk prevention gaps across all areas of network and security architecture.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a Best Practice Assessment specifically evaluates how a configuration aligns with Palo Alto Networks' recommendations. Options A and D provide misleading information about the scope and focus of the assessment, while C, although partially accurate, emphasizes the role of a sales engineer, which is not the primary function of the assessment.
