Correct answer & explanation
✓
Granular action control such as allowing read-only access while blocking file uploads to sanctioned or unsanctioned SaaS tenants

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Granular action control such as allowing read-only access while blocking file uploads to sanctioned or unsanctioned SaaS tenants
Why this is correct
Inline CASB capabilities in Prisma Access allow precise activity control over SaaS applications (upload, download, share).
- ✗
Direct peer-to-peer BGP routing exchanges with external public web servers
Why it's wrong here
BGP is used for site-to-site WAN and Remote Networks routing, not for peering directly with individual public web servers.
- ✓
URL filtering based on threat risk categories and web categories
Why this is correct
Prisma Access SWG provides comprehensive URL filtering to categorize web traffic and block high-risk or policy-violating websites.
- ✗
Local BIOS firmware flashing and motherboard diagnostics for remote client laptops
Why it's wrong here
Prisma Access is a cloud security service and cannot perform hardware-level BIOS updates or diagnostics on endpoints.
- ✓
Data Filtering to detect and block the exfiltration of sensitive data such as credit card numbers or PII
Why this is correct
Data Filtering profiles inspect web and SaaS traffic for sensitive data patterns to prevent data loss.
