QuestionQ3

Threat Prevention Policy Profiles

What is the purpose of the Profile Cleanup option?

Explanation

Profile Cleanup can remove user-modified IPS protection overrides from selected Threat Prevention profiles, returning those protections to the profile’s configured activation behavior. It can also clear staging settings; it does not merge profiles, define a fallback packet policy, or remove protections based on elapsed time.

QuestionQ4

Threat Prevention Policy Layers

Which statement is NOT true about Threat Prevention policy application?

Explanation

Threat Prevention can evaluate matching rules in multiple applicable policy layers. Each layer calculates its action independently, and when rules match in more than one layer, the Security Gateway enforces the strictest applicable action and settings; enforcement is therefore not limited to only one first-matched rule for the entire policy.

QuestionQ5

Anti-Virus and Anti-Bot Protections

What setting is recommended for Anti-Virus, and why?

Explanation

Anti-Virus is a pre-infection control that blocks malware while it is being transferred, and its inspection is limited to supported protocol decoders. The recommended setting is Hold so the firewall can wait for the real-time WildFire signature lookup; this helps prevent zero-day malware and exposure caused by outdated signatures.
