A technology company is deploying its own AI applications on a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. The development team is concerned about protecting the complex, microservices-based AI stack from both internal and external threats: such as data poisoning and lateral movement between containerized components. Which solution should be proposed to address these concerns?
Answer: C
An architect is reviewing a use case with the following requirements: Visibility on the health of an end user's path for the five most critical applications Metrics on the impact of endpoint health for application Centralized call quality analytics from Zoom video conferencing solution Insights into the supporting protocols, such as DNS Support 600 users on Windows desktops in a single sales office Which solution should be recommended to meet these requirements?
Answer: A
A large organization uses Palo Alto Networks VM-Series firewalls deployed across multiple availability zones in Microsoft Azure. These are managed by an Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) and integrated with an Azure Load Balancer for high availability (HA) traffic inspection within a Transit VNet. The security team needs to perform a critical PAN-OS software upgrade across the entire fleet of firewalls with the requirement of minimal application downtime. Following Palo Alto Networks best practices for highly available cloud deployments, what is the recommended approach for safely performing this software upgrade with the least downtime?
Answer: C
A global organization has fully adopted Prisma Access to provide security for its mobile workforce and remote offices, and user identity is managed in Okta. The security team wants to create consistent Security policies that grant access to specific SaaS applications based on a users' departments, regardless of whether they work from home or a from branch office connected via an SD-WAN device Which architecture ensures that consistent user-to-group mapping is available to Prisma Access for policy enforcement in this use case?
Answer: B
An organization wants to migrate to an SSE model using Prisma Access for hybrid workforce connectivity. Following bandwidth analysis, network engineers have identified high-bandwidth requirements (>2 Gbps) sustained throughput to the data center for privately hosted applications (e.g., three tier applications active FTP and SMB file servers, EDR toolsets). Business continuity for the organization requires the ability to use multiple cloud providers for private-application connectivity, ensuring no single cloud provider outage can disrupt operations. The network operations team has expressed concerns about migrating to SSE with legacy routing technical debt noting multiple redistribution protocols in place across the environment. Which two network connectivity methods will meet the business requirements to access private applications from Prisma Access? (Choose two.)
Answer: BD
An organization plans to deploy a full SASE architecture consisting of Prisma SD-WAN IONs at branches and data centers alongside Prisma Access remote networks, service connections, and mobile users. The business office team requires that traffic from global remote offices to public cloud is of highest criticality, and this traffic should have the greatest service-level agreement (SLA) and QoS priority while still maintaining a balance of threat inspection. Which recommendation should the architect make to provide the lowest latency, highest throughput, and greatest resilience for the applications?
Answer: C
An organization uses Microsoft Entra ID and wants to strictly enforce a requirement that remote users accessing highly sensitive SaaS applications can only do so when originating from Prisma Browser. Which unique identifier must be configured within the Entra ID Conditional Access policy to effectively confirm and enforce that the access request is specifically originating from Prisma Browser and preventing standard web browsers from circumventing the Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) control?
Answer: B
An IoT sensor should be deployed in the path between the IoT device and which infrastructure component for comprehensive profiling coverage?
Answer: D
The network security architect leading a Zero Trust migration has successfully completed identifying and classifying all mission-critical Data, Applications, Assets, and Services (DAAS). The architect must now gather the necessary data to inform the technical design of the micro-perimeters and the placement of the VM-Series virtual firewalls in Azure. According to the Palo Alto Networks Zero Trust implementation methodology, what is the mandatory next step to gather the necessary data for designing the segmentation and the placement of security controls?
Answer: C
Which custom component can mitigate the risk associated with an organization’s sales staff filling out a customer intake PDF form that contains corporate confidential information?
