At ValidExamDumps, we consistently monitor updates to the Palo Alto Networks PCDRA exam questions by Palo Alto Networks. Whenever our team identifies changes in the exam questions,exam objectives, exam focus areas or in exam requirements, We immediately update our exam questions for both PDF and online practice exams. This commitment ensures our customers always have access to the most current and accurate questions. By preparing with these actual questions, our customers can successfully pass the Palo Alto Networks Certified Detection and Remediation Analyst exam on their first attempt without needing additional materials or study guides.
Other certification materials providers often include outdated or removed questions by Palo Alto Networks in their Palo Alto Networks PCDRA exam. These outdated questions lead to customers failing their Palo Alto Networks Certified Detection and Remediation Analyst exam. In contrast, we ensure our questions bank includes only precise and up-to-date questions, guaranteeing their presence in your actual exam. Our main priority is your success in the Palo Alto Networks PCDRA exam, not profiting from selling obsolete exam questions in PDF or Online Practice Test.
Which profiles can the user use to configure malware protection in the Cortex XDR console?
The user can use theMalware Protection profileto configure malware protection in the Cortex XDR console. The Malware Protection profile defines the actions that Cortex XDR takes when it detects malware on your endpoints. You can configure different actions for different types of malware, such as ransomware, password theft, or child process. You can also configure the scan frequency and scope for periodic malware scans. The Malware Protection profile is part of the Endpoint Security policy that you assign to your endpoints.Reference:

As a Malware Analyst working with Cortex XDR you notice an alert suggesting that there was a prevented attempt to download Cobalt Strike on one of your servers. Days later, you learn about a massive ongoing supply chain attack. Using Cortex XDR you recognize that your server was compromised by the attack and that Cortex XDR prevented it. What steps can you take to ensure that the same protection is extended to all your servers?
Let's briefly discuss the other options to provide a comprehensive explanation:
D) Enable Behavioral Threat Protection (BTP) with cytool to prevent the attack from spreading: This is not the correct answer. Enabling BTP with cytool will not ensure that the same protection is extended to all your servers. BTP is a feature of Cortex XDR that allows you to create custom rules that detect and block malicious or suspicious behaviors on your endpoints, such as file execution, process injection, network connection, or registry modification. BTP rules can help to prevent the attack from spreading, but they need to be created and configured in the Cortex XDR app, not with cytool. Cytool is a command-line tool that allows you to perform various operations on the Cortex XDR agent, such as installing, uninstalling, upgrading, or troubleshooting. Cytool does not have an option to enable or configure BTP rules.
In conclusion, to ensure that the same protection is extended to all your servers, you need to create BTP rules to recognize and prevent the activity. By using BTP rules, you can create custom and flexible prevention rules that match the behaviors of the supply chain attack.

Which Exploit Protection Module (EPM) can be used to prevent attacks based on OS function?
JIT Mitigation is an Exploit Protection Module (EPM) that can be used to prevent attacks based on OS function. JIT Mitigation protects against exploits that use the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler of the OS to execute malicious code. JIT Mitigation monitors the memory pages that are allocated by the JIT compiler and blocks any attempts to execute code from those pages. This prevents attackers from using the JIT compiler as a way to bypass other security mechanisms such as Data Execution Prevention (DEP) and Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR).Reference:

What functionality of the Broker VM would you use to ingest third-party firewall logs to the Cortex Data Lake?
The Broker VM is a virtual machine that acts as a data broker between third-party data sources and the Cortex Data Lake. It can ingest different types of data, such as syslog, netflow, database, and pathfinder. The Syslog Collector functionality of the Broker VM allows it to receive syslog messages from third-party devices, such as firewalls, routers, switches, and servers, and forward them to the Cortex Data Lake. The Syslog Collector can be configured to filter, parse, and enrich the syslog messages before sending them to the Cortex Data Lake. The Syslog Collector can also be used to ingest logs from third-party firewall vendors, such as Cisco, Fortinet, and Check Point, to the Cortex Data Lake. This enables Cortex XDR to analyze the firewall logs and provide visibility and threat detection across the network perimeter.Reference:
