Common mistakes.
- A. DNS Security primarily protects against malicious DNS activity, such as DNS-based attacks or accessing command-and-control servers, rather than directly blocking access to a known phishing URL.
- C. Threat Prevention focuses on blocking known threats like exploits, spyware, and viruses by signature matching, but it doesn't specifically target and block access to phishing URLs based on their categorization.
- D. WildFire is a cloud-based service for identifying unknown and zero-day threats by analyzing suspicious files and URLs, but URL Filtering is the subscription that leverages this intelligence to actively block access to newly identified malicious sites.
