   To maintain security efficacy of its public cloud resources by using native tools, a company purchases Cloud NGFW credits to replicate the Panorama, PA-Series, and VM-Series devices used in physical data centers. Resources exist on AWS and Azure: The AWS deployment is architected with AWS Transit Gateway, to which all resources connect The Azure deployment is architected with each application independently routing traffic The engineer deploying Cloud NGFW in these two cloud environments must account for the following: Minimize changes to the two cloud environments Scale to the demands of the applications while using the least amount of compute resources Allow the company to unify the Security policies across all protected areas Which two implementations will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

   • ADeploy a VM-Series firewall in AWS in each VPC, create an IPSec tunnel between AWS and Azure, and manage the policy with Panorama.
   • BDeploy Cloud NGFW for Azure in vNET/s, update the vNET/s routing to path traffic through the deployed NGFWs, and manage the policy with Panorama.
   • CDeploy Cloud NGFW for Azure in vWAN, create a vWAN to route all appropriate traffic to the Cloud NGFW attached to the vWAN, and manage the policy with local rules.
   • DDeploy Cloud NGFW for AWS in a centralized Security VPC, update the Transit Gateway to route all appropriate traffic through the Security VPC, and manage the policy with Panorama.

   Which two statements apply to configuring required security rules when setting up an IPSec tunnel between a Palo Alto Networks firewall and a third- party gateway? (Choose two.)

   • AFor incoming and outgoing traffic through the tunnel, creating separate rules for each direction is optional.
   • BThe IKE negotiation and IPSec/ESP packets are allowed by default via the intrazone default allow policy.
   • CFor incoming and outgoing traffic through the tunnel, separate rules must be created for each direction.
   • DThe IKE negotiation and IPSec/ESP packets are denied by default via the interzone default deny policy.

8. Question 8 · 107 in bank

   An organization has configured GlobalProtect in a hybrid authentication model using both certificate-based authentication for the pre-logon stage and SAML-based multi-factor authentication (MFA) for user logon. How does the GlobalProtect agent process the authentication flow on Windows endpoints?

   • AThe GlobalProtect agent uses the machine certificate to establish a pre-logon tunnel; upon user sign-in, it prompts for SAML-based MFA credentials, ensuring both device and user identities are validated before granting full access.
   • BThe GlobalProtect agent uses the machine certificate during pre-logon for initial tunnel establishment, and then seamlessly reuses the same machine certificate for user-based authentication without requiring MFA.
   • COnce the machine certificate is validated at pre-logon, the Windows endpoint completes MFA on behalf of the user by passing existing Windows Credential Provider details to the GlobalProtect gateway without prompting the user.
   • DGlobalProtect requires the user to log in first for SAML-based MFA before establishing the pre-logon tunnel, rendering the pre-logon certificate authentication (CA) flow redundant.

   An NGFW engineer is configuring multiple Layer 2 interfaces on a Palo Alto Networks firewall, and all interfaces must be assigned to the same VLAN. During initial testing, it is reported that clients located behind the various interfaces cannot communicate with each other. Which action taken by the engineer will resolve this issue?

   • AConfigure each interface to belong to the same Layer 2 zone and enable IP routing between them.
   • BAssign each interface to the appropriate Layer 2 zone and configure a policy that allows traffic within the VLAN.
   • CAssign each interface to the appropriate Layer 2 zone and configure Security policies for interfaces not assigned to the same zone.
   • DEnable IP routing between the interfaces and configure a Security policy to allow traffic between interfaces within the VLAN.

    An NGFW engineer is configuring multiple Panorama-managed firewalls to start sending all logs to Strata Logging Service. The Strata Logging Service instance has been provisioned, the required device certificates have been installed, and Panorama and the firewalls have been successfully onboarded to Strata Logging Service. Which configuration task must be performed to start sending the logs to Strata Logging Service and continue forwarding them to the Panorama log collectors as well?

    • AModify all active Log Forwarding profiles to select the “Cloud Logging” option in each profile match list in the appropriate device groups.
    • BEnable the “Panorama/Cloud Logging” option in the Logging and Reporting Settings section under Device --> Setup --> Management in the appropriate templates.
    • CSelect the “Enable Duplicate Logging” option in the Cloud Logging section under Device --> Setup --> Management in the appropriate templates.
    • DSelect the “Enable Cloud Logging” option in the Cloud Logging section under Device --> Setup --> Management in the appropriate templates.
