App-ID and Content-ID

A large university uses a Palo Alto Networks firewall to secure its network. The security team has implemented a policy to block peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing applications. They have configured a security rule that denies all applications in the 'peer-to-peer' category. However, they notice that some students are still able to download files using BitTorrent. The traffic logs show the application as 'bittorrent' but the rule does not match. Upon investigation, the rule is applied to the correct zones and includes the peer-to-peer category. The source and destination are any. What is the most likely cause of this issue?

A security administrator notices that a Security policy rule permitting the application 'ssl' also allows users to access unauthorized SaaS applications that tunnel their traffic inside TLS on TCP 443.

A security administrator wants to block all traffic using the BitTorrent protocol regardless of port. Which method should they use?

Which TWO statements about App-ID are correct? (Choose two.)

An organization uses a custom ERP system that communicates over TCP port 4444. The firewall's App-ID incorrectly identifies some of the traffic as 'ssl' because the ERP system uses a proprietary encryption wrapper. What is the recommended approach to ensure correct identification?

The administrator wants to block any email that contains a U.S. Social Security Number. Which Data Filtering profile setting should be used to detect the SSN pattern?

An administrator is troubleshooting why an application is being identified as 'incomplete' in the traffic log. What does this indicate?

Which TWO are methods used by App-ID to identify applications? (Choose two.)

Which Content-ID feature can be used to prevent data loss by blocking specific patterns in traffic?

Which of the following is a primary benefit of using App-ID in a security policy?

A company has a security policy that allows 'ssl' application but does not have SSL decryption enabled. What can App-ID still identify from the encrypted session?

A security administrator wants to block all peer-to-peer file sharing applications, such as BitTorrent, regardless of the port they use. Which Palo Alto Networks feature should the administrator use to accomplish this?

A security administrator notices that traffic from a custom application is being incorrectly identified as web-browsing. What is the most likely cause?

An administrator needs to block all traffic from a specific application that uses multiple ports. Which TWO methods can achieve this? (Choose two.)

Refer to the exhibit. A user reports being unable to connect to a website over HTTPS. The traffic log shows the application as 'incomplete' and the rule 'Block-Unknown-App' is matched. What is the most likely reason the application is 'incomplete'?

Which TWO of the following are true about App-ID? (Choose two.)

A medium-sized enterprise has a Palo Alto Networks firewall in your data center. They have recently deployed a new cloud-based CRM system that uses a proprietary protocol over TCP port 8443. The firewall is configured with App-ID enabled, but traffic to the CRM is being incorrectly identified as 'web-browsing' and 'ssl'. Users are able to access the CRM, but the security team wants to ensure that only authorized users can use this application. They have created a custom App-ID signature based on a unique payload pattern in the first packet. However, after applying the signature and committing, the traffic logs still show the application as 'incomplete' or 'web-browsing'. The firewall is running PAN-OS 10.1. What is the most likely reason the custom App-ID is not working?
