Question 8

Actions can be set for which two items in a URL filtering security profile? (Choose two.)

    Correct Answer: B, C

    In a URL filtering security profile, actions such as block, alert, continue, override, or allow can be set for specific categories of URLs. These categories are either custom URL categories, which administrators define to control access to particular URLs relevant to their organization's security policy, or PAN-DB URL categories, which are predefined URL categories provided by the PAN-DB database. Both types allow administrators to specify the desired actions based on organizational needs.

Ans is B and C. Look at the wording of the question: "ACTIONS(eg Block, Allow etc) can be set for WHICH TWO ITEMS in a URL filtering security profile?" The question is NOT worded like: "WHAT Actions can be set for items in a URL filtering security profile?" Hence the correct answers are B & C.

rebetOptions: BC

I believe B & C are the correct answers. Starting from panos v.9 url override (that's where allow and deny lists were) is removed from the url profile and only categories are used...

Found on Palo Alto site: Answer is A: Block List and D: Allow List From most strict to least strict, possible URL Filtering profile actions are: block, override, continue, alert, and allow. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/advanced-url-filtering/administration/url-filtering-basics/url-filtering-profiles

GavenOptions: BC

See @ciscoSannin comment. The question is asking for Action on WHICH ITEMS.A and D are actions not Items

Kane002Options: BC

People saying A and D misread the question. It's not asking for which ACTIONS but which ITEMS.

cjaceOptions: BC

B. Custom URL Categories C. PAN-DB URL Categories These categories allow the administrator to control access to specific URLs and categories of URLs. Actions such as block, alert, continue, override, or allow can be set for these categories based on the organization’s security policy.

JR1012Options: BC

Allow List = explicitly allow the urls can not change action action Block list= explicitly block urls can not change action So ans is BC

[Removed]

Is this a typo thing for this question? did they forget to add the word "What" to the beginning of the question? What actions.... is how I instinctively read it as.

BMRobertsonOptions: BC

I believe the answer is B & C based on PAN's website (https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/advanced-url-filtering/administration/url-filtering-basics/url-categories). You don't find allow/block lists spoken of, only Custom, Predefined, Malicious, and Security Focused. You create custom yourself, but PAN-DB does the other three.

OhEmGeeOptions: BC

It can't be "Allow List" and "Block List" as actions cannot be associated to 'lists' therefore it is B and C.

Ankitkumar2029Options: AD

A. Block List,D Allow list

cobooOptions: BC

B&C are correct

DahemOptions: AD

The correct answer is (A,D), you can make sure in paloalto > objects > security profile > URL Filtering

BMRobertson

I don't think that takes into account what the question is asking; take a look at this site: https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/advanced-url-filtering/administration/url-filtering-basics/url-categories....this points to Custom URL categories and Security Focused URL categories; the latter is done via PAN-DB
