Explanation

Create a New Threat Profile (Answer B): Performance tuning in Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) involves ensuring that only the most relevant and necessary signatures are enabled for the specific environment. Palo Alto Networks allows you to create custom threat profiles to selectively enable signatures that match the threats most likely to affect the environment. This reduces unnecessary resource usage and ensures optimal performance. By tailoring the signature set, organizations can focus on real threats without impacting overall throughput and latency.
