NEW QUESTION # 23
An organization is in the process of building a network infrastructure that is cloud first. Part of the revised architecture includes Prisma Access as demonstrated in the diagram below. The organization has selected Strata Cloud Manager (SCM) as the management method for Prisma Access and NGFWs deployed at the data center and in public cloud environments. There are 150 NGFWs in place that are used to terminate service connections and segment networks as well as to secure the data center and public cloud resources.
One of the resilience requirements is to provide highly available directory services and authentication for the NGFW and Prisma Access deployment.
Which traffic flow is valid for administrators connecting network equipment over SSH hosted in the data center?
Answer: C
Explanation:
SSH is not an HTTP/HTTPS application, so it does not use the explicit proxy path. For administrators connecting from Prisma Browser to network equipment hosted in the data center, the valid flow is through the mobile user path into Prisma Access, then across the service connection to the data center, and finally to the target device. This matches the IPSec/SSL connectivity shown for Prisma Browser-based user access to private applications.
NEW QUESTION # 24
A global organization is in the process of securing critical applications during a cloud-based migration while migrating to a cloud-first design, and it is currently performing a brownfield migration of its most critical applications - such as CRM and product intellectual property / design systems - into Azure Cloud. The organization already has an active/passive high availability (HA) NGFW deployed at its data center with multiple zones and has replicated that design into its existing Azure HA deployment.
The organization recognizes the need to modernize its security posture as critical workloads move out of the data center and users connect from anywhere. Its security model is defined by a traditional "hard shell, soft center" approach:
Zero Trust Gaps
- Current network segmentation is perimeter-based. The organization wants to expand Zero Trust principles across cloud and on-premises environments.
- The network relies heavily on VLANs and IP address-based Access Control Lists (ACLs) segmented primarily by office location and broad departmental groups.
- Once employees are on the corporate network (i.e., inside the "perimeter"), they have relatively wide access.
- If attackers compromise a single endpoint (e.g., via a phishing email), they can easily move laterally and scan for high-value targets.
Cloud Blind Spots
- The organization uses Azure for its production environments and hosts applications that contain sensitive customer data.
- Security controls in the cloud are often managed independently of the on-premises network.
Access is frequently granted with overly permissive identity and access management (IAM) roles and keys based on the resource rather than the user's real-time context or application health.
Remote User Access
- Many remote users are still hairpinning into the corporate data center just to reach internet or SaaS resources, creating latency and inefficiency.
- Traditional VPN is used for remote employees.
- The VPN grants access to the entire internal network segment making the remote endpoint the new, weaker perimeter. There is no continuous check on the user's device health after the initial connection.
Visibility and Logging
- Logs are primarily stored on-premises, then forwarded to a local Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution. As applications move to Azure, visibility into cloud traffic and user behavior becomes fragmented.
Data Security Concern
- Sensitive data, including product design files, will now live in SaaS and cloud environments. The organization needs data security to prevent leakage and enforce compliance.
Ingress Security
- Third-party partners and suppliers require access into the data center and cloud applications, introducing risk at ingress points.
The current Microsoft Azure NGFW architecture will not support the increased traffic with the new applications being migrated.
Which architectural solution will provide scalable inspection?
Answer: B
Explanation:
A scalable Azure design for VM-Series uses load balancers with multiple active firewall instances rather than a fixed active/passive pair. Palo Alto Networks documents high-resiliency Azure deployments that use load balancers to distribute traffic across concurrent firewall instances, and Azure routing to the VM-Series relies on User-Defined Routes to steer traffic through the inspection path. That makes a load balancer-based autoscaling firewall cluster the correct architecture for increased cloud migration traffic and scalable inspection.
NEW QUESTION # 25
An organization has a directive to adopt a Zero Trust framework focused on using identity and role-based access groups, device security and content inspection across all Security policies. To achieve this goal, an Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) was purchased, including Advanced Threat Prevention, IoT Security, and GlobalProtect.
The current security architecture uses Panorama to manage 60 NGFWs - a mix of PA-3240, PA-1410, and PA-440. Sites with PA-3240s host private application resources in the trust data center zone All sites have an untrust zone for internet access and a users zone for managed and unmanaged endpoint devices. A transit mesh zone exists to establish site-to-site connectivity through PAN-OS SD-WAN.
Privately hosted applications include web servers, SMB and NFS file servers and hosted Active Directory. The organization is in the process of adopting group mapping restrictions to these private applications, with daily additions of groups. It is also planning to build AI applications to assist the data teams with complex queries that will be hosted in the large offices containing data centers and is exploring hosting in the public cloud.
The organization uses on-premises Exchange, Dropbox, Zoom, and ChatGPT. There are a number of shadow SaaS applications that require further investigation. Users have been using Google Drive to upload confidential files within the organization by using their personal logins.
IoT devices on the network are associated on their own VLAN on the users zone. Using Device Security, all IoT devices have been categorized by asset profiles with medium or high confidence, policy sets imported into Panorama, and a default deny applied to the IoT networks.
The organization has rolled out SSL decryption and is using URL categorization for the majority of content filtering. Malicious categories, unknown and high-risk websites are blocked, with the remainder of sites set to alert.
Which deployment method should the architect suggest for enabling User-ID based rules, restricting or allowing access as close to the source as possible, while minimizing operational overhead?
Answer: D
Explanation:
The Cloud Identity Engine uses a lightweight Cloud Identity Agent for on-premises directories, while SCIM is for cloud-native identity providers. In this environment, the organization hosts Active Directory on-premises and needs scalable, centralized user and group synchronization for many firewalls with low operational overhead, so deploying the Cloud Identity Agent to sync user groups to the Cloud Identity Engine and the firewalls is the best fit.
NEW QUESTION # 26
A global organization is modernizing its data center and private cloud infrastructure. The environment consists of:
- A Nutanix AHV cluster hosting critical east-west application workloads
- A VMware ESXi cluster with multi-socket hosts, supporting high-throughput workloads (>10 Gbps)
- A new pair of PA-5450 firewalls to secure the perimeter and handle encrypted traffic inspection at scale
- Strict performance service-level agreements (SLAs) for both north-south and east-west flows, with heavy reliance on TLS 1.3 and IPSec
- A Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) environment on KVM to provide high-performance security services to maximize packet throughput and minimize latency The chief architect is tasked with ensuring that the firewall design avoids hypervisor contention optimizes non-uniform memory access (NUMA) and uses hardware features for encrypted traffic.
VM-Series on Nutanix AHV - Resource Allocation
- Because the Nutanix cluster is already heavily used, the architect's main concern is preventing performance degradation of the virtual firewall. Thin provisioning or ballooning could introduce latency and unpredictability which is unacceptable for a security-sensitive workload.
VM-Series on VMware ESXi - NUMA and vCPU Placement
- In the VMware ESXi environment, the architect is deploying VM-Series for workloads pushing >10 Gbps. Assigning vCPUs across NUMA nodes or oversubscribing cores would create latency due to cross-socket memory access and scheduling delays. Similarly, dedicating logical hypethreads does not provide the deterministic data plane performance required.
Operational Integration and High Availability
- With performance guaranteed by correct hypervisor and hardware provisioning, the architect also considers high availability (HA). VM-Series pairs are deployed in active/passive HA across Nutanix and VMware clusters, while PA-5450s form the data center's north-south secure perimeter deployment. This ensures resilience without introducing unnecessary east-west inspection bottlenecks.
- The recommendation must be a scalable, high-performance firewall deployment aligned with enterprise SLAs and the CISO's encrypted traffic concerns.
To optimize throughput and minimize latency, what is recommended to configure the vCPUs and NUMA for this deployment?
Answer: A
Explanation:
To optimize throughput and minimize latency, the VM-Series data plane vCPUs should stay within a single physical NUMA node. Palo Alto Networks performance guidance specifically recommends isolating CPU resources in one NUMA node to avoid cross-node memory access penalties and reduce scheduling overhead, which is especially important for high-throughput ESXi deployments.
NEW QUESTION # 27
A firewall must block known vulnerabilities and exploits in real time. Which security profile is MOST relevant?
Answer: B
Explanation:
Vulnerability Protection detects and blocks exploit attempts targeting known vulnerabilities. It provides inline prevention, whereas WildFire focuses on unknown threats and URL filtering focuses on web access control.
