Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 196

Why should a company have a File Blocking profile that is attached to a Security policy?

Answer options

• A. To block uploading and downloading of any type of files
• B. To block uploading and downloading of specific types of files

• D. To analyze file types

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a File Blocking profile is specifically designed to restrict the transfer of certain file types that may pose security risks.
