To block users dynamically based on threat log activity, dynamic user groups (DUGs) with tagging provide an automated solution. Option B configures a DUG with a "malicious" tag, a Log Forwarding profile to tag users in the threat log (e.g., via threat intelligence), and a Security policy to block the tagged group. This leverages User-ID and is ideal for user-based blocking.
Option A uses dynamic address groups (DAGs), which block IPs, not users. Option C (security profiles) can block traffic but not dynamically tag/block users without additional configuration. Documentation supports DUGs for this use case.
