Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 11

An administrator has configured the Palo Alto Networks NGFW's management interface to connect to the internet through a dedicated path that does not traverse back through the NGFW itself.
Which configuration setting or step will allow the firewall to get automatic application signature updates?

Answer options

• A. A scheduler will need to be configured for application signatures.
• B. A Security policy rule will need to be configured to allow the update requests from the firewall to the update servers.
• C. A Threat Prevention license will need to be installed.
• D. A service route will need to be configured.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because a scheduler is necessary to automate the process of receiving application signature updates. The other options, while important for different functionalities, do not directly address the need for a scheduled update mechanism for application signatures.
