PSE-STRATA-PRO-24 practice question 8 of 15

While a quote is being finalized for a customer that is purchasing multiple PA-5400 series firewalls, the customer specifies the need for protection against zero-day malware attacks. Which Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS) subscription add-on license should be included in the quote?

Full set: 60 questions
Answer options
A: AI Access Security
B: Advanced Threat Prevention
C: Advanced WildFire Correct answer
D: App-ID
Correct Answer:
C. Advanced WildFire
Explanation

Advanced WildFire is Palo Alto Networks’ cloud-delivered sandbox that uses static analysis, dynamic analysis, and inline machine-learning to detect and block previously unknown (zero-day) malware before it can execute. Zero-day malware protection is therefore provided by the Advanced WildFire CDSS add-on.

Why Incorrect

A. AI Access Security focuses on SaaS application usage and is unrelated to malware detection.
B. Advanced Threat Prevention stops zero-day network exploits, not unknown malware files.
D. App-ID is a built-in PAN-OS feature for application identification and is not a CDSS subscription.
