Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 232

A firewall just submitted a file to WildFire for analysis. Assume a 5-minute window for analysis. The firewall is configured to check for verdicts every 5 minutes.
How quickly will the firewall receive back a verdict?

Answer options

• A. More than 15 minutes
• B. 5 minutes
• C. 10 to 15 minutes
• D. 5 to 10 minutes

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the firewall will receive the verdict after the analysis is complete, which takes 5 minutes, and then it checks for the result immediately after. Therefore, the total time to receive the verdict is between 5 to 10 minutes. Options A, B, and C are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the timing based on the analysis and verdict check intervals.
