A security administrator has configured App-ID updates to be automatically downloaded and installed. The company is currently using an application identified by App-ID as SuperApp_base.
On a content update notice, Palo Alto Networks is adding new app signatures labeled SuperApp_chat and SuperApp_download, which will be deployed in 30 days.
Based on the information, how is the SuperApp traffic affected after the 30 days have passed?
- All traffic matching the SuperApp_chat, and SuperApp_download is denied because it no longer matches the SuperApp-base application
- No impact because the apps were automatically downloaded and installed
- No impact because the firewall automatically adds the rules to the App-ID interface
- All traffic matching the SuperApp_base, SuperApp_chat, and SuperApp_download is denied until the security administrator approves the applications

Actions can be set for which two items in a URL filtering security profile? (Choose two.)
- Block List
- Custom URL Categories
- PAN-DB URL Categories
- Allow List
Explanation & Hints: - Block List: A block list, also known as a blacklist, is a set of URLs or domains that are explicitly prohibited or blocked by the URL filtering security profile. When a user attempts to access a website on the block list, the security profile blocks access, preventing the user from reaching the site. This is commonly used to block known malicious or inappropriate websites, preventing users from inadvertently accessing harmful content.
- Allow List: An allow list, also known as a whitelist, is a set of URLs or domains that are explicitly permitted or allowed by the URL filtering security profile. When a user attempts to access a website, the security profile checks if the website is on the allow list. If it is, the access is permitted; if not, access is denied. Allow lists are often used to ensure that users can only access approved websites, reducing the risk of exposure to malicious or inappropriate content and enhancing security.
These two mechanisms provide administrators with granular control over web access within their network, allowing them to tailor browsing policies to align with their organization’s security requirements and objectives.
