Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Security policy rules configured with the 'App-Override' or custom bypass settings for specific applications.
Traffic bypassing inspection can be caused by explicit decryption bypass rules, clientless or split-tunnel configurations, or specific application bypass features.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Security policy rules configured with the 'App-Override' or custom bypass settings for specific applications.
Why this is correct
App-Override rules bypass deep packet inspection and signature analysis for matching traffic.
- ✗
GlobalProtect portal banner message customization.
Why it's wrong here
Banner messages are cosmetic user notices and have no impact on traffic inspection.
- ✓
An explicit Decryption rule configured with 'No Decrypt' action for sensitive categories.
Why this is correct
If traffic is bypassed for decryption, Layer 7 application identification and threat inspection capabilities may be limited for encrypted payloads.
- ✓
Client split-tunneling configured to send specific traffic directly to the local internet rather than through Prisma Access.
Why this is correct
Split-tunneling sends specific traffic outside the secure tunnel entirely, bypassing Prisma Access inspection.
- ✗
Panorama template commit pending status on Remote Networks.
Why it's wrong here
Uncommitted changes prevent configuration from applying, but do not selectively cause quiet traffic bypass of running security rules.
