Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 579

A client wants to detect the use of weak and manufacturer-default passwords for IoT devices.
Which option will help the customer?

Answer options

• A. Configure a Data Filtering profile with alert mode.
• B. Configure an Antivirus profile with alert mode.
• C. Configure an Anti-Spyware profile with alert mode.
• D. Configure a Vulnerability Protection profile with alert mode.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a Vulnerability Protection profile is designed to identify and alert on vulnerabilities, including weak and default passwords. The other options, such as Antivirus and Anti-Spyware profiles, focus on malware detection and prevention, which do not specifically address password vulnerabilities.
