Palo Alto Networks PCCSA Exam Questions

Question 6 of 30

Identify a weakness of a perimeter-based network security strategy to protect an organization's endpoint systems.

It cannot identify command-and-control traffic.

It cannot monitor all potential network ports.

It assumes that all internal devices are untrusted.

It assumes that every internal endpoint can be trusted.

Correct Answer: D

A weakness of a perimeter-based network security strategy is that it assumes every internal endpoint can be trusted. This strategy relies heavily on securing the boundary of the network but doesn't account for the possibility that threats can come from within the network, such as through compromised internal devices. If an internal device gets infected, the perimeter-based approach may fail to contain or detect the threat effectively.
