Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) — Question 90

You receive notification about new malware that infects hosts through malicious files transferred by FTP.
Which Security profile detects and protects your internal networks from this threat after you update your firewall's threat signature database?

Answer options

• A. URL Filtering profile applied to inbound Security policy rules.
• B. Data Filtering profile applied to outbound Security policy rules.
• C. Antivirus profile applied to inbound Security policy rules.
• D. Vulnerability Protection profile applied to outbound Security policy rules.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The Antivirus profile is designed to identify and protect against malware threats, including those transmitted via FTP. The URL Filtering profile focuses on web traffic, the Data Filtering profile monitors data leaving the network, and the Vulnerability Protection profile targets system vulnerabilities, making them ineffective against this specific malware threat.
