What should you do after deploying a new prevention policy to validate its effectiveness?

Monitor endpoint alerts and logs for any issues

A security administrator needs to create a custom extension profile that blocks a specific registry key modification on Windows endpoints. The profile must be applied only to the finance department's computers. What is the correct sequence of steps?

Modify the built-in prevention profile to include the registry key block, then apply it to the finance department

Apply the custom extension profile directly to the finance department's endpoints without a policy

Create a policy for the finance department, then create the custom extension profile inside the policy

Create the custom extension profile, then create a policy that applies it to the finance department's endpoints

Why is policy ordering important in endpoint security enforcement?

Because the last matching policy overrides all others

Because policies must be alphabetical

Because the first matching policy determines the applied profile

Because all policies are applied simultaneously

What is a typical step in managing prevention policies in the XDR console?

Compiling the policy into an executable file

Deploying the policy via email to endpoints

Creating a policy and associating it with a prevention profile

Manually editing each endpoint's configuration file

What is the first step in creating a custom extension profile in Palo Alto Networks XDR?

Testing the profile in a lab environment

Defining the profile's name and description

Applying the profile to endpoints
