A company has a hardware firewall that is running PAN-OS 10.1. The security team wants to ensure that the firewall has the latest threat prevention signatures and application updates. They also want to minimize the impact on the firewall's performance. What should the administrator do?

Install content updates immediately as soon as they are available.

Schedule content updates to be downloaded and installed during off-peak hours.

Disable content updates and manually install them when needed.

Upgrade the PAN-OS version to get the latest content updates.

A company has a hardware firewall with multiple security policies. The security team needs to ensure that all traffic from the 'untrusted' zone to the 'dmz' zone is inspected for threats, but they also need to allow specific IP addresses to bypass inspection for performance reasons. What is the best way to configure this?

Create an inspection policy for all traffic and then create a deny policy for the specific IP addresses.

Create an inspection policy for all traffic and place it above the allow policy for the specific IP addresses.

Create an allow policy for the specific IP addresses and place it above the inspection policy.

Create a single policy that allows all traffic and attach a security profile group, but exclude the specific IP addresses from the profile group.
