Which platform is used to update the dynamic block list when interacting with viruses and other security threats?

• A. Panorama (Palo Alto)
• B. Next Generation Firewall
• C. Splunk
• D. SolarWinds

Answer: (A)

Centralized distribution of threat intelligence to multiple devices is what this is about. Panorama acts as the centralized management plane for Palo Alto firewalls, collecting threat data and updates and pushing dynamic block lists and other threat signatures to all managed devices. That centralized push is what keeps protections in sync across the network so new viruses and security threats are blocked everywhere you rely on those firewalls. The other options don’t serve this orchestration role: a single Next Generation Firewall handles protection on one device, Splunk is for log analysis, and SolarWinds is a general network management tool.
