Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 16

Which statement is true regarding a Best Practice Assessment?

Answer options

• A. The BPA tool can be run only on firewalls
• B. It provides a percentage of adoption for each assessment area
• C. The assessment, guided by an experienced sales engineer, 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 the Best Practice Assessment indeed provides a percentage of adoption for each assessment area, indicating how well practices are being followed. Options A and D are incorrect as they misrepresent the scope of the BPA tool and its purpose. Option C is misleading because, while guidance from a sales engineer is beneficial, it does not specifically relate to the percentage of adoption that is highlighted in the correct answer.
