Question 188

Which statement best describes a common use of Policy Optimizer?

    Correct Answer: B

    Policy Optimizer can display which Security policies have not been used in the last 90 days. This is a common use of Policy Optimizer as it helps administrators identify outdated or unnecessary policies, which can improve the firewall's efficiency and security by removing rules that are no longer needed.

Discussion
HyayOption: B

Not correct to me. Seems to be B. Documentation says it does not change profiles. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/prisma/prisma-access/prisma-access-cloud-managed-admin/create-prisma-access-policy/policy-optimizer

TheMaster01Option: B

B is correct

innuendo2Option: A

for me is A Policy Optimizer identifies port-based rules so you can convert them to application-based allow rules or add applications from a port-based rule to an existing application-based rule without compromising application availability. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-admin/app-id/security-policy-rule-optimization

dc6a988Option: D

B and D are correct

AredusOption: D

D is correct, though the working in the question is the most common usage of policy optimizer. I guess it depends on that as B may also be the answer.

ReliicOption: B

Identification of Overly Permissive Rules: The Policy Optimizer categorizes rules as overly permissive if they are allowing any application traffic and are at least 90 days old. This categorization is important because such rules can introduce security gaps by allowing unnecessary traffic

CalicaOption: B

For me B

dawlimsOption: A

I agree with innuendo2's explanation

SkeyOption: A

The key word for me is « common » both A and B are option for policy optimizer but i’ll go for A as a common use of this solution
