Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 451

A firewall engineer creates a new App-ID report under Monitor > Reports > Application Reports > New Applications to monitor new applications on the network and better assess any Security policy updates the engineer might want to make.

How does the firewall identify the New App-ID characteristic?

Answer options

• A. It matches to the New App-IDs downloaded in the last 90 days.
• B. It matches to the New App-IDs in the most recently installed content releases.
• C. It matches to the New App-IDs downloaded in the last 30 days.
• D. It matches to the New App-IDs installed since the last time the firewall was rebooted.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the firewall identifies New App-IDs based on the most recently installed content releases, ensuring that the engineer is monitoring the latest applications. Options A and C reference outdated or incorrect time frames for New App-IDs, while option D refers to a reboot condition which is not relevant to App-ID identification.
