Palo Alto Networks System Engineer – Cortex — Question 32

What is the result of creating an exception from an exploit security event?

Answer options

• A. Administrators are exempt from generating alerts for 24 hours.
• B. Process from WildFire analysis is whitelisted.
• C. Triggered exploit protection module (EPM) for the host and process involved is disabled.
• D. User is exempt from generating events for 24 hours.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Creating an exception results in the exploit protection module (EPM) being disabled for the host and process involved, which is why option C is correct. Options A and D incorrectly reference exemptions for administrators and users, respectively, while option B misstates that the process from WildFire analysis is whitelisted instead of focusing on the EPM being disabled.
