Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) — Question 591

In the New App Viewer under Policy Optimizer, what does the compare option for a specific rule allow an administrator to compare?

Answer options

• A. Applications configured in the rule with their dependencies
• B. The security rule with any other security rule selected
• C. Applications configured in the rule with applications seen from traffic matching the same rule
• D. The running configuration with the candidate configuration of the firewall

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as it allows the administrator to see how the applications defined in the rule align with those detected through corresponding traffic. Option A is incorrect because it focuses on dependencies rather than traffic matching. Option B compares different security rules instead of applications, and option D pertains to configuration comparisons rather than application evaluations.
