NEW QUESTION # 62
A global manufacturing organization has a strategic plan for rapid growth through mergers and acquisitions Several components the organization has purchased are deemed large deployments with existing IP address schemas and allocations that conflict with the parent organization. The manufacturing organization needs access to the resources before a re-IP initiative can be completed.
All of the deployments include a variety of IoT devices Leadership requires protection of vulnerable assets and identification of any known CVEs associated with the IoT devices. The governance, risk and compliance (GRC) team requires comprehensive non-repudiable logs to identify all IoT devices reporting "Critical (9 0+) CVE scores" for mandatory remediation.
Throughput needs to exceed the current 1 Gbps trending rate, and with expected growth will soon scale to 5 Gbps.
Segmentation is a mandatory requirement with enclaves based on region, device type, and function.
In which two ways should the organization architect for isolation of IoT with groupings based on the device types? (Choose two.)
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Device-ID enables identification and classification of IoT devices based on attributes such as device type, allowing policy enforcement specific to those device categories. Dynamic address groups allow automatic grouping of devices based on tags or attributes, enabling scalable segmentation and isolation aligned with device type and function without manual updates.
NEW QUESTION # 63

Answer: A
Explanation:
DNS Security detects malicious DNS patterns, including tunneling and C2 communication. It provides advanced analytics beyond simple URL filtering.
NEW QUESTION # 64
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.
Which solution will improve resilience and reduce operational overhead in this scenario?
Answer: A
Explanation:
Cloud NGFW integrated into the existing VNet design improves resilience and reduces operational overhead because it delivers managed, cloud-native firewall protection directly for Azure VNet traffic without the customer having to operate and scale VM-based firewall infrastructure. Palo Alto Networks documents Cloud NGFW for Azure as protecting Azure Virtual Network traffic through centrally managed rulestacks, which aligns with the need for simpler operations while supporting a growing cloud-first environment
NEW QUESTION # 65
An organization wants to modernize its legacy branch architecture. The existing architecture is rigid, complex, and ill-suited for a cloud-first strategy, creating high operational costs and latency.
- The four core data centers are strategically located in Dallas, Toronto, London and Tokyo, and they are interconnected by a dedicated MPLS backbone providing reliable connectivity but incurring significant costs and offering limited bandwidth scalability.
- Branches rely on MPLS or site-to-site VPN to connect to the nearest geographical data center.
- All internet-bound traffic from the branches is backhauled to the data center egress firewalls.
This creates latency for SaaS applications and increases bandwidth strain on the MPLS links.
The organization requires a proposal for a new WAN architecture for branch connectivity with the goal of improving security posture and SaaS application access as well as supporting local internet breakout for all branch devices, including IoT.
Which two implementations will achieve the goal of modernizing the branch architecture?
(Choose two.)
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
SD-WAN using on-premises NGFWs for DIA modernizes branch connectivity by enabling secure local internet breakout at the branch instead of backhauling SaaS traffic through central data centers, which reduces latency and improves cloud application performance. Palo Alto Networks documents PAN-OS SD-WAN support for DIA and securing internet traffic either locally at the branch or through Prisma Access. IoT visibility is also supported at Prisma SD-WAN branch sites through ION devices, which aligns with the requirement to support all branch devices, including IoT.
SASE with Prisma Access for remote networks and service connections is the cloud-delivered architecture that secures branch offices through remote network connectivity while connecting back to enterprise resources through service connections. Palo Alto Networks describes Prisma Access as providing connectivity and security for remote branches, headquarters, data centers, and mobile users without requiring customers to build their own global security infrastructure, which directly supports a cloud-first branch modernization strategy.

The organization needs to ensure data security and prevent the leakage of sensitive product design files since it is migrating to SaaS and cloud environments.
How would implementing a Next-Generation CASB (CASB-X) capability address the concerns in the scenario?
Answer: C
Explanation:
Next-Generation CASB (CASB-X) provides integrated data protection by applying DLP controls to both data-at-rest and data-in-transit within sanctioned SaaS and cloud applications. This enables the organization to identify, monitor, and prevent leakage of sensitive product design files as they move to cloud and SaaS environments, directly addressing the data security concern.
