Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 181

An administrator has purchased WildFire subscriptions for 90 firewalls globally.
What should the administrator consider with regards to the WildFire infrastructure?

Answer options

• A. To comply with data privacy regulations, WildFire signatures and verdicts are not shared globally.
• B. Palo Alto Networks owns and maintains one global cloud and four WildFire regional clouds.
• C. Each WildFire cloud analyzes samples and generates malware signatures and verdicts independently of the other WildFire clouds.
• D. The WildFire Global Cloud only provides bare metal analysis.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because each WildFire cloud operates independently to analyze samples and generate signatures, allowing for localized response to threats. Option A is incorrect as it misrepresents how data is shared; option B is misleading as it implies a singular management structure; option D incorrectly limits the capabilities of the WildFire Global Cloud.
