A security profile group named"default"is automatically applied to all new security rules unless a specific profile group is explicitly configured.
"If a security profile group named 'default' exists, it will be automatically applied to any newly created security policy rules to ensure consistent protection." (Source: Security Profile Groups) This behavior ensures that newly created policies are always protected by default security profiles, minimizing human error.

Cloud NGFW for AWS can be configured usingPanoramafor centralized management, as well as theAWS management consolefor native integration and configuration.
"You can configure Cloud NGFW for AWS using Panorama for centralized security management, or directly through the AWS management console to deploy and manage security services for your AWS resources." (Source: Cloud NGFW for AWS Guide)

Enterprise DLP Profileis specifically designed to detect and logdata exfiltration attempts, including those involving confidential or sensitive data.
"Enterprise DLP logs capture incidents involving potential data exfiltration. They help identify sensitive data transfers, even in seemingly legitimate traffic." (Source: Enterprise DLP Logging and Alerts) File Blocking and Vulnerability Protection handle files or exploit detection, while WildFire focuses on malware analysis-not direct data exfiltration.

For large lists of specific URLs, creating acustom URL categoryand importing the list is the most efficient approach for granular URL filtering.
"You can create custom URL categories to define specific URLs or patterns and enforce policies for these categories. This is the most efficient way to handle large sets of URLs." (Source: Custom URL Categories) This approach saves time compared to manual rule creation or using generic application filters.

Blocking non-compliant SSH versionsandfailing certificate validationsare fundamental security measures:
Block sessions when certificate validation fails
"The SSH Proxy profile should block sessions that fail certificate validation to ensure that only trusted hosts are allowed." (Source: SSH Proxy Decryption Best Practices) Block connections using non-compliant SSH versions Older SSH versions may have vulnerabilities or lack modern encryption algorithms.
"To enforce stronger security, block SSH sessions that use older or deprecated versions of the SSH protocol that do not comply with your security posture." (Source: SSH Decryption and Best Practices) Together, these measuresminimize the risk of MITM attacksand secure SSH traffic.
