Question 1

Which action can help alleviate a prospective customer's concerns about transitioning from a legacy firewall with port-based policies to a Palo Alto Networks NGFW with application-based policies?

A.Discuss the PAN-OS Policy Optimizer feature as a means to safely migrate port-based rules to application-based rules.
B.Assure the customer that the migration wizard will automatically convert port-based rules to application- based rules upon installation of the new NGFW.
C.Recommend deploying a new NGFW firewall alongside the customer's existing port-based firewall until they are comfortable removing the port-based firewall.
D.Reassure the customer that the NGFW supports the continued use of port-based rules, as PAN-OS automatically translates these policies into application-based policies.

Question 2

A systems engineer (SE) is working with a customer that is fully cloud-deployed for all applications. The customer is interested in Palo Alto Networks NGFWs but describes the following challenges:
"Our apps are in AWS and Azure, with whom we have contracts and minimum-revenue guarantees. We would use the built-in firewall on the cloud service providers (CSPs), but the need for centralized policy management to reduce human error is more important." Which recommendations should the SE make?

A.Cloud NGFWs at both CSPs; provide the customer a license for a Panorama virtual appliance from their CSP's marketplace of choice to centrally manage the systems.
B.Cloud NGFWs in AWS and VM-Series firewall in Azure; the customer selects a PAYG licensing Panorama deployment in their CSP of choice.
C.VM-Series firewalls in both CSPs; manually built Panorama in the CSP of choice on a host of either type: Palo Alto Networks provides a license.
D.VM-Series firewall and CN-Series firewall in both CSPs; provide the customer a private-offer Panorama virtual appliance from their CSP's marketplace of choice to centrally manage the systems.

Correct Answer: A

The customer is seeking centralized policy management to reduce human error while maintaining compliance with their contractual obligations to AWS and Azure. Here's the evaluation of each option:
* Option A: Cloud NGFWs at both CSPs; provide the customer a license for a Panorama virtual appliance from their CSP's marketplace of choice to centrally manage the systems
* Cloud NGFW is a fully managed Next-Generation Firewall service by Palo Alto Networks, offered in AWS and Azure marketplaces. It integrates natively with the CSP infrastructure, making it a good fit for customers with existing CSP agreements.
* Panorama, Palo Alto Networks' centralized management solution, can be deployed as a virtual appliance in the CSP marketplace of choice, enabling centralized policy management across all NGFWs.
* This option addresses the customer's need for centralized management while leveraging their existing contracts with AWS and Azure.
* This option is appropriate.
* Option B: Cloud NGFWs in AWS and VM-Series firewall in Azure; the customer selects a PAYG licensing Panorama deployment in their CSP of choice
* This option suggests using Cloud NGFW in AWS but VM-Series firewalls in Azure. While VM- Series is a flexible virtual firewall solution, it may not align with the customer's stated preference for CSP-managed services like Cloud NGFW.
* This option introduces a mix of solutions that could complicate centralized management and reduce operational efficiency.
* This option is less appropriate.
* Option C: VM-Series firewalls in both CSPs; manually built Panorama in the CSP of choice on a host of either type: Palo Alto Networks provides a license
* VM-Series firewalls are well-suited for cloud deployments but require more manual configuration compared to Cloud NGFW.
* Building a Panorama instance manually on a host increases operational overhead and does not leverage the customer's existing CSP marketplaces.
* This option is less aligned with the customer's needs.
* Option D: VM-Series firewall and CN-Series firewall in both CSPs; provide the customer a private-offer Panorama virtual appliance from their CSP's marketplace of choice to centrally manage the systems
* This option introduces both VM-Series and CN-Series firewalls in both CSPs. While CN-Series firewalls are designed for Kubernetes environments, they may not be relevant if the customer does not specifically require container-level security.
* Adding CN-Series firewalls may introduce unnecessary complexity and costs.
* This option is not appropriate.

Question 3

The efforts of a systems engineer (SE) with an industrial mining company account have yielded interest in Palo Alto Networks as part of its effort to incorporate innovative design into operations using robots and remote-controlled vehicles in dangerous situations. A discovery call confirms that the company will receive control signals to its machines over a private mobile network using radio towers that connect to cloud-based applications that run the control programs.
Which two sets of solutions should the SE recommend?

A.That 5G Security be enabled and architected to ensure the cloud computing is not compromised in the commands it is sending to the onsite machines.
B.That Cloud NGFW be included to protect the cloud-based applications from external access into the cloud service provider hosting them.
C.That IoT Security be included for visibility into the machines and to ensure that other devices connected to the network are identified and given risk and behavior profiles.
D.That an Advanced CDSS bundle (Advanced Threat Prevention, Advanced WildFire, and Advanced URL Filtering) be procured to ensure the design receives advanced protection.

Correct Answer: A,C

* 5G Security (Answer A):
* In this scenario, the mining company operates on a private mobile network, likely powered by 5G technology to ensure low latency and high bandwidth for controlling robots and vehicles.
* Palo Alto Networks 5G Security is specifically designed to protect private mobile networks. It prevents exploitation of vulnerabilities in the 5G infrastructure and ensures the control signals sent to the machines are not compromised by attackers.
* Key features include network slicing protection, signaling plane security, and secure user plane communications.
* IoT Security (Answer C):
* The mining operation depends on machines and remote-controlled vehicles, which are IoT devices.
* Palo Alto Networks IoT Security provides:
* Full device visibility to detect all IoT devices (such as robots, remote vehicles, or sensors).
* Behavioral analysis to create risk profiles and identify anomalies in the machines' operations.
* This ensures a secure environment for IoT devices, reducing the risk of a device being exploited.
* Why Not Cloud NGFW (Answer B):
* While Cloud NGFW is critical for protecting cloud-based applications, the specific concern here is protecting control signals and IoT devices rather than external access into the cloud service.
* The private mobile network and IoT device protection requirements make 5G Security and IoT Security more relevant.
* Why Not Advanced CDSS Bundle (Answer D):
* The Advanced CDSS bundle (Advanced Threat Prevention, Advanced WildFire, Advanced URL Filtering) is essential for securing web traffic and detecting threats, but it does not address the specific challenges of securing private mobile networks and IoT devices.
* While these services can supplement the design, they are not the primary focus in this use case.

Question 4

In addition to Advanced DNS Security, which three Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS) subscriptions utilize inline machine learning (ML)? (Choose three)

A.Advanced Threat Prevention
B.Enterprise DLP
C.IoT Security
D.Advanced URL Filtering
E.Advanced WildFire

Question 5

What are the first two steps a customer should perform as they begin to understand and adopt Zero Trust principles? (Choose two)

A.Understand which users, devices, infrastructure, applications, data, and services are part of the network or have access to it.
B.Enable relevant Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS) subscriptions to automatically protect the customer's environment from both internal and external threats.
C.Map the transactions between users, applications, and data, then verify and inspect those transactions.
D.Implement VM-Series NGFWs in the customer's public and private clouds to protect east-west traffic.
