Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 254

Which statement is true regarding a Best Practice Assessment?

Answer options

• A. It runs only on firewalls
• B. It provides a set of questionnaires that help uncover security risk prevention gaps across all areas of network and security architecture
• C. It shows how your current configuration compares to Palo Alto Networks recommendations
• D. When guided by an authorized sales engineer, it helps determine the areas of greatest risk where you should focus prevention activities

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because a Best Practice Assessment is designed to compare your current configuration against the standards set by Palo Alto Networks. Options A and B are incorrect as they either limit the scope to firewalls or misrepresent the purpose of the assessment. Option D, while helpful, does not specifically address the primary function of the assessment in relation to recommendations.
