Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 318

A client is concerned about web shell attacks against their servers.

Which profile will protect the individual servers?

Answer options

• A. Anti-Spyware profile
• B. Zone Protection profile
• C. DoS Protection profile
• D. Antivirus profile

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The Anti-Spyware profile is designed to detect and prevent web shell attacks by identifying malicious scripts and behaviors. The other profiles, while useful for different types of threats, do not specifically focus on the type of malware that web shells represent, making them less effective in this scenario.
