Explanation

The Best Practice Assessment (BPA) is the Palo Alto Networks tool that analyzes a firewall's configuration against Palo Alto Networks best practices and presents results as a heat map across multiple security control categories. Expedition is a migration and conversion tool. The Security Life Cycle Review is a professional services engagement. The Prevention Posture Assessment evaluates overall prevention posture at a higher level but does not provide the same configuration heat map visualization as the BPA.
