How can a firewall administrator block a list of 300 unique URLs in the most time-efficient manner?

• A. Import the list into a custom URL category.
• B. Use application groups to block the App-IDs.
• C. Use application filters to block the App-IDs.
• D. Block multiple predefined URL categories.

Answer: A

Explanation:
For large lists of specific URLs, creating acustom URL categoryand importing the list is the most efficient approach for granular URL filtering.
"You can create custom URL categories to define specific URLs or patterns and enforce policies for these categories. This is the most efficient way to handle large sets of URLs." (Source: Custom URL Categories) This approach saves time compared to manual rule creation or using generic application filters.

NEW QUESTION # 63
A cloud security architect is designing a certificate management strategy for Strata Cloud Manager (SCM) across hybrid environments. Which practice ensures optimal security with low management overhead?

• A. Implement separate certificate authorities with independent validation rules for each cloud environment.

• C. Deploy centralized certificate automation with standardized protocols and continuous monitoring.
• D. Use cloud provider default certificates with scheduled synchronization and localized renewal processes.

Answer: C

Explanation:
A centralized certificate automation approach reduces management overhead and security risks by standardizing processes, automating renewals, and continuously monitoring the certificate lifecycle.
Implementing a centralized certificate management approach with automation and continuous monitoring ensures optimal security while reducing operational complexity in hybrid environments.

NEW QUESTION # 64

Which activity only appears under the Content-ID portion of single-pass parallel processing (SP3)?

• A. Application heuristics
• B. Application decoding
• C. Malware analysis
• D. SaaS Security

Answer: C

Explanation:
Malware analysis is part of the Content-ID engine within SP3. Content-ID is responsible for inspecting traffic for threats, malicious files, and exploit activity, including malware analysis functions.

NEW QUESTION # 66
What is the recommended upgrade path from PAN-OS 9.1 to PAN-OS 11.2?

NEW QUESTION # 69
An administrator is configuring a new Enterprise DLP policy to unify the data loss prevention (DLP) strategy across the entire infrastructure, which includes physical NGFWs and Prisma Access.
In regard to profile configuration, what is the primary advantage of this approach?

• A. Profiles are created on Panorama and synced securely to a separate cloud instance for Prisma Access.
• B. Each NGFW and Prisma Access gateway requires its own locally defined DLP profile.
• C. A single data profile is created in the cloud and applied consistently across enforcement points.
• D. The NGFW profile is first exported and then imported into the Prisma Access configuration.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Enterprise DLP uses a centralized cloud-based architecture where a single data profile is created and managed in the cloud. This profile can then be applied consistently across physical NGFWs and Prisma Access, providing unified policy enforcement throughout the infrastructure.
