Which option automatically identifies network type based on rules?

• A. Public Network
• B. Trusted Network
• C. Program Rules
• D. Detect Automatically

Answer: (D)

Automatic network type detection uses predefined rules to classify the current network without user input. It watches signals like IP address ranges, DNS suffixes, VPN status, domain membership, and other network characteristics, then applies the appropriate policy automatically. This is why Detect Automatically is the best choice: it ensures the device enforces the correct security posture for each network as you move around, without you having to manually label the network each time. Public Network and Trusted Network are just labels for profiles and don’t perform the identification themselves, while Program Rules govern application behavior rather than how the network is classified.
