How is Application Layer inspection applied in a security policy?

By enabling inspection on the management interface

By using only IP addresses and ports in the policy

By creating a separate policy for every application

By specifying the application in the policy rule and attaching security profiles

What is the primary purpose of Application Layer inspection in Palo Alto Networks Strata and SASE products?

To provide a virtual private network for remote users

To replace the need for traditional firewall rules by blocking all traffic at the network layer

To encrypt all outbound traffic to ensure data confidentiality

To identify and control applications based on their unique traffic patterns rather than just port and protocol

What is the purpose of application decoding in the context of Application Layer inspection?

To interpret the protocol and extract meaningful data for deeper inspection

To translate application traffic from one protocol to another

To block all traffic that uses proprietary protocols

To encrypt the application traffic to protect it from eavesdropping

A security administrator is configuring SSL decryption on a Strata firewall. The goal is to inspect traffic to a specific SaaS application for malware. However, the administrator is concerned about the performance impact. What is the best practice to balance security and performance?

Use SSL decryption with a selective decryption policy that only decrypts traffic to the specific SaaS application.

Decrypt all traffic to ensure no malware is missed.

Use a passive SSL decryption method that does not impact performance.

Disable SSL decryption and rely on the application signatures to detect malware.
