Content-ID gives you a real-time threat prevention engine, combined with a comprehensive URL database, and elements of application identification to: Limit unauthorized data and file transfers Detect and block exploits, malware and malware communications Control unapproved web surfing I believe the answer here is Content ID

The capability to perform real-time signature lookups to block or sinkhole all known malware domains is provided by the Content ID engine12345. Content ID is a threat prevention engine that uses multiple methods to detect and prevent threats at all points of the attack lifecycle1. It includes capabilities such as WildFire, which performs real-time signature lookups12345. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Content ID.

Security Processing doesn't have signature matching feature which is asked in the question. https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/resources/pa-series-next-generation-firewalls-hardware-architectures. There's Network Processor, Security Processor, Offload/Signature Matching Processor, and Management Processor. The Security Processing Engine has APP-ID | User-ID | URL match | policy match app decoding | SSL/IPSec | decompression functions. The Signature Matching Processor has Exploits | Virus | Spyware | CC# | SSN functions.

A is correct

Content-IDTM combines a real-time threat prevention engine with a comprehensive URL database and elements of application identification to limit unauthorized data and file transfers and detect and block a wide range of exploits, malware, dangerous web surfing as well as targeted and unknown threats. https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/content/dam/pan/en_US/assets/pdf/tech-briefs/techbrief-content-id.pdf
