Palo Alto Networks PSE-Endpoint Exam - Topic 2 Question 69 Discussion

A customer plans to test the malware prevention capabilities of Traps. It has defined this policy.* Local analysis is enabled* Quarantining of malicious files is enabled* Files are to be uploaded to WildFireNo executables have been whitelisted or blacklisted in the ESM Console Hash Control screen.Malware sample A has a verdict of Malicious in the WildFire service. Malware sample B is unknown to WildFire.Which behavior will result?
B) Hash Control already knows sample A locally in the endpoint cache and will block it. Sample B will not be blocked by WildFire, but will be blocked by the local analysis engine.
A) WildFire will block sample A as known malware; sample B will be blocked as an unknown binary while the file is analyzed by WildFire for a final verdict.
C) WildFire will block sample A as known malware, and sample B will compromise the endpoint because it is new and ESM Server has not obtained the required signatures.
D) WildFire will block sample A as known malware; sample B will not be blocked by WildFire, but will be evaluated by the local analysis engine and will or will not be blocked, based on its verdict, until WildFire analysis determines the final verdict.

Hash Control won't know sample A if it's not whitelisted.

Wait, how can WildFire not block sample B? That sounds risky!

WildFire blocks known malware like sample A for sure.

I lean towards option D because it mentions both WildFire blocking sample A and local analysis for sample B. That seems to cover all bases.

I feel like option C is tempting, but I don't think sample B would compromise the endpoint right away. It should be evaluated first, right?

I think I practiced a similar question where the local analysis engine played a role. If WildFire is still analyzing sample B, it might get blocked by local analysis first.

I remember that WildFire blocks known malware, so sample A should definitely be blocked. But I'm not sure about sample B since it's unknown.

This question is testing our understanding of how Traps and WildFire work together. I feel confident I can select the right answer if I carefully analyze each option.

Based on the information provided, I think option D is the correct answer. WildFire will block the known malware A, while sample B will be evaluated by the local analysis engine until WildFire provides a final verdict.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. We have two malware samples, A and B, and the policy is set to upload files to WildFire. I'll need to consider how WildFire and the local analysis engine will handle each sample.

I'm a bit confused about the role of the ESM Console Hash Control screen. Does that come into play here, or is it just mentioned for context?

Okay, let's see. I think the key here is to ensure the data is properly configured and connected in the system. I'll need to double-check the Contact Key and Subscriber Key relationship.

Haha, I bet the guy who wrote option C is the same one who thought it was a good idea to let the unknown sample through. What a rookie mistake!

Woah, C is definitely wrong. There's no way the unknown sample B would compromise the endpoint if ESM hasn't got the signatures yet. That's just crazy talk!

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I think B might be the right answer, since the endpoint cache should already know about sample A.
