An analyst determines that several sanctioned, predefined applications are being intermittently blocked, even though there is an existing policy permitting them. An investigation reveals that the applications are using non- standard ports, which is causing them to be blocked. The applications are critical for business operations, and the analyst has approval to allow them. Which configuration adjustment should be implemented to ensure secure access to the applications?
Correct Answer: C
Comprehensive and Detailed 150 to 250 words of Explanation From Palo Alto Networks Network Security Analyst Knowledge: In Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS, the "application-default" setting in a security policy rule ensures that an application is only allowed on its standard, well-known ports. If a sanctioned application (such as a custom internal tool or a specific SaaS app) is configured to use a non-standard port, the firewall will identify the application via App-ID but will drop the traffic because the port does not match the application's default definition. To resolve this securely, the most granular and best-practice approach is to clone the existing rule and explicitly define the non-standard ports in the Service column. By specifying the application (e.g., web- browsing) and a custom Service object (e.g., TCP/8088), the analyst ensures that only that specific application is allowed on that specific port. This maintains the security benefit of App-ID inspection-ensuring that only the sanctioned application is traversing the port-rather than simply opening the port to "any" traffic. Option B is incorrect as it negates the value of the Next-Generation Firewall. Option D is highly insecure as it allows unidentified ("unknown") traffic, which is a significant security risk. Option A (DSRI) is a performance optimization tool and does not resolve port-mismatch blocking.
