Palo Alto Networks Security Operations Professional — Question 4

What is enabled by Role Based Access Control (RBAC) in Cortex XDR?

Answer options

• A. Management of permissions and assignment of administrator access rights.
• B. Userility to manage Cortex XDR features based on job function.
• C. Automated response to detected threats based on user roles.
• D. Granular control and visibility over network traffic policies based on user roles.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, highlights that RBAC allows management of Cortex XDR features tailored to specific job functions, ensuring users have appropriate access. Option A focuses on administrator access rights, which is not the primary purpose of RBAC. Option C misrepresents RBAC’s function by suggesting it automates responses rather than managing access, and D incorrectly emphasizes network traffic policies rather than feature management.
