Palo Alto Networks System Engineer – Prisma Cloud — Question 51

Which statement explains the correlation between the block and alert thresholds in a vulnerability management policy?

Answer options

• A. The thresholds can be set to informational, low, medium, high, and critical.
• B. The alert threshold always has precedence over, and can be greater than, the block threshold.
• C. The block threshold must always be equal to or greater than the alert threshold.
• D. The block threshold always has precedence over, and can be less than, the alert threshold.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because in vulnerability management, the block threshold must be set at a level that is at least equal to the alert threshold to ensure that any serious vulnerabilities are addressed appropriately. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they misrepresent the necessary relationship between the thresholds, particularly regarding precedence and the required comparison between their values.
