Free Palo Alto Networks SSE-Engineer Actual Exam Questions - Question 8 Discussion

B vs A? DLP (B) targets content directly, which fits the goal better than generic file blocking (A).

Option C makes sense because blocking the ChatGPT domains outright means users can't upload anything there at all. That’s a pretty foolproof way to prevent financial info from being shared. Options A and B rely on detecting sensitive content, which might miss some files or encrypted data, so they’re less certain. Option D is unrelated since it’s about system vulnerabilities, not data uploads. So, cutting off the domain access with URL filtering feels like the safest bet here.

C imo—blocking ChatGPT domains outright cuts off any upload attempts there, no matter the content type. It’s simpler and more direct than relying on content scanning that might miss stuff inside files.

I see why B is getting a lot of attention since DLP rules focus on data types, but A could also be effective if the files are identifiable by type or name patterns—for example, blocking Excel sheets or PDFs outright. That might actually stop uploads before any content scanning is needed. But B’s advantage is it can inspect content deeper, not just file type. Could A alone catch everything if someone renames a file or pastes data as text? Seems less flexible. So maybe combining both makes sense, but if picking one, which handles more real-world scenarios better?

B seems right since DLP rules specifically target sensitive data uploads.

Maybe A could work since file blocking directly stops uploads with sensitive info. B is about data loss prevention rules, but A seems more targeted to the upload action itself.

True, D and C don’t fit well, so B is the way to go. B

Makes sense that D is unrelated since it’s more about system attacks, not user uploads. I’d also rule out C because URL Filtering blocks access, not specific content uploads. B seems the most fitting here. B

Option D seems off, it’s about exploits, not uploads. B looks better.
