Which Palo Alto Networks security product uses proactive prevention strategies to block exploits and malware techniques?

The correct answer is Traps. Traps is a next-generation endpoint protection solution developed by Palo Alto Networks. It employs a variety of proactive prevention strategies, including behavioral analysis and exploit techniques blocking, to defend endpoints against malware and advanced threats. Instead of relying solely on signature-based detection methods, Traps uses machine learning and advanced heuristics to identify and block potential exploits before they can execute. This proactive approach helps to prevent malware from executing on endpoints, ensuring a more robust security posture.

WildFire, while also a Palo Alto Networks product, primarily focuses on advanced malware analysis and threat intelligence by analyzing files in a sandbox environment. Its main function is to detect and analyze malware for future prevention rather than using proactive measures directly on endpoints. Prisma Public Cloud and Prisma SaaS focus on securing cloud environments and software as a service applications, respectively, and do not specifically address endpoint protection through proactive strategies against exploits and malware.
