      Cloud service provider's management console
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: C, D

    Explanation

    Cloud NGFW for AWS can be configured using Panorama for centralized management, as well as the AWS management console for native integration and configuration. “You can configure Cloud NGFW for AWS using Panorama for centralized security management, or directly through the AWS management console to deploy and manage security services for your AWS resources.” (Source: Cloud NGFW for AWS Guide)

  3. Question 3

    Multiple answers

    In which two applications can Prisma Access threat logs for mobile user traffic be reviewed? (Choose two.)

    • Option A:
      Prisma Cloud dashboard
      Correct
    • Option B:
      Strata Cloud Manager (SCM)
      Correct
    • Option C:
      Strata Logging Service
      Correct
    • Option D:
      Service connection firewall
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: B, C

    Explanation

    Threat logs for Prisma Access mobile users can be reviewed in both Strata Cloud Manager (SCM) and Strata Logging Service. Prisma Cloud and service connection firewalls are not directly tied to mobile user traffic logs. “Prisma Access logs are available in the Strata Cloud Manager and can also be sent to the Strata Logging Service for detailed analysis and threat visibility.” (Source: Prisma Access Administration Guide)

      System logs
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: C

    Explanation

    When uploads are blocked by a Data Filtering profile, the firewall records the event in Data Filtering logs .

  5. Question 5

    Single answer

    Which set of attributes is used by IoT Security to identify and classify appliances on a network when determining Device-ID?

    • Option A:
      IP address, network traffic patterns, and device type
      Correct
    • Option B:
      MAC address, device manufacturer, and operating system
      Correct
    • Option C:
      Hostname, application usage, and encryption method
      Correct
    • Option D:
      Device model, firmware version, and user credential
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: B

    Explanation

    IoT Security uses MAC address , device manufacturer , and OS information to identify and classify devices via Device-ID.
    “IoT Security uses passive network traffic analysis to fingerprint devices based on the MAC address, manufacturer, and operating system to ensure accurate classification.”
    (Source: IoT Security Device-ID and Classification)
    These attributes provide a robust, manufacturer-agnostic method to fingerprint IoT devices.

  6. Question 6

    Multiple answers

    What statuses may appear when devices are added to the controller’s Devices inventory list?

    • Option A:
      Unclaimed indicates that the device is available in the inventory, but has not been claimed.
      Correct
    • Option B:
      Offline indicates that the device is not yet communicating with the Prisma SD-WAN controller.
      Correct
    • Option C:
      Online-Restricted means that the device is communicating with the Prisma SD-WAN controller, but has not yet been claimed.
      Correct
    • Option D:
      Decommissioned indicates that the device is permanently deleted from the controller.
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: A, B, C

    Explanation

    Prisma SD-WAN device inventory can show statuses such as Unclaimed , Offline , and Online-Restricted to indicate onboarding and communication state.

  7. Question 7

    Single answer

    Which component of NGFW is supported in active/passive design but not in active/active design?

    • Option A:
      Single floating IP address
      Correct
    • Option B:
      Using a DHCP client
      Correct
    • Option C:
      Route-based redundancy
      Correct
    • Option D:
      Configuring ARP load-sharing on Layer 3
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: A

    Explanation

    Single floating IP address (also known as a floating IP or shared IP) is supported only in an active/passive HA pair. In active/active HA, both firewalls are forwarding traffic simultaneously and thus do not share a single floating IP.
    “In active/passive HA, a single floating IP address is used for seamless failover. Active/active HA requires separate IP addresses and does not support a single floating IP.”
    (Source: Active/Passive vs. Active/Active HA)
    This simplifies failover in active/passive deployments by using a single shared IP that moves to the active peer upon failover.

  8. Question 8

    Multiple answers

    Which two security services are required for configuration of NGFW Security policies to protect against malicious and misconfigured domains? (Choose two.)

    • Option A:
      Advanced Threat Prevention
      Correct
    • Option B:
      SaaS Security
      Correct
    • Option C:
      Advanced WildFire
      Correct
    • Option D:
      Advanced DNS Security
      Correct
    Show Answer & Explanation Hide Answer & Explanation

    Correct Answer: A, D

    Explanation

    Protecting against malicious and misconfigured domains requires two critical services:
    Advanced Threat Prevention
    Provides signature-based and advanced analysis to identify threats, including DNS-based attacks.
    “Advanced Threat Prevention enables the NGFW to detect and prevent exploits and malware-based communications, including those leveraging DNS.”
    (Source: Advanced Threat Prevention)
    Advanced DNS Security
    Specifically designed to detect and sinkhole malicious and misconfigured DNS queries.
    “DNS Security uses real-time intelligence to block DNS-based threats, protect against data exfiltration, and automatically sinkhole suspicious domain lookups.”
    (Source: DNS Security)
    By combining these services in security policies, NGFWs ensure robust protection against domain-based threats and misconfigurations.
