Hi,
newish to Palo Alto so trying to understand the demarcation between Fast-Path and Slow path when using Content ID.
My understanding is that when a new traffic flow starts App-ID is used to determine the application and once the flow is established traffic moves to Fast path.
Am I right though that if Content-ID is used that the traffic must stay in Slow Path because the traffic would need continuous inspection to verify that content isn't being modifed mid-flow to circumvent the policy. eg a malicious actor could initiate a connection with junk PDF file downloads before switching to sensitive PDF file downloads
