Palo Alto Networks NetSec-Architect : Palo Alto Networks Network Security Architect

An organization with offices throughout the world has an SD-WAN solution in which all traffic is backhauled to a central set of data centers. Many of the offices have IoT / OT devices. Which IoT Security requirement must be taken into consideration by the security architect when determining which Zero Trust network solution will help this organization evolve its security architecture?

• A. A local sensor must be deployed as either an agent on the DHCP server or as a container on the virtual infrastructure.
• B. All DHCP requests must traverse the Prisma SD-WAN fabric for IoT / OT detection.
• C. Either a Prisma SD-WAN ION or an NGFW device must be present for accurate IoT / OT detection.
• D. The organization must have local NGFW for enforcement.

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?

• A. Prisma SD-WAN ION deployed at both branch and private data center with a direct private link between the private data center and the public cloud provider
• B. Prisma Access remote networks with service connections directly to the cloud environment using IPSec and either static or dynamic routing
• C. Prisma SD-WAN IONs deployed within the cloud environment using BGP-to-peer to the internal route tables of the application
• D. Prisma Access Agent or a PAC file explicit proxy configuration connecting the end user devices directly to Prisma Access with a service connection to the public cloud provider

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?

• A. Prisma AIRS Network Intercept
• B. AI Access Security with Advanced URL Filtering
• C. Prisma AIRS API Intercept
• D. AI Access Security with App-ID Cloud Engine

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.
Which off-ramp should an architect recommend to meet the requirements of the organization?

• A. ZTNA Connector
• B. Service Connection
• C. GCP Network Cloud Connector
• D. Colo-Connect

An organization has a directive to adopt a Zero Trust framework focused on using identity and role-based access groups, device security and content inspection across all Security policies. To achieve this goal, an Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) was purchased, including Advanced Threat Prevention, IoT Security, and GlobalProtect.
The current security architecture uses Panorama to manage 60 NGFWs - a mix of PA-3240, PA-1410, and PA-440. Sites with PA-3240s host private application resources in the trust data center zone All sites have an untrust zone for internet access and a users zone for managed and unmanaged endpoint devices. A transit mesh zone exists to establish site-to-site connectivity through PAN-OS SD-WAN.
Privately hosted applications include web servers, SMB and NFS file servers and hosted Active Directory. The organization is in the process of adopting group mapping restrictions to these private applications, with daily additions of groups. It is also planning to build AI applications to assist the data teams with complex queries that will be hosted in the large offices containing data centers and is exploring hosting in the public cloud.
The organization uses on-premises Exchange, Dropbox, Zoom, and ChatGPT. There are a number of shadow SaaS applications that require further investigation. Users have been using Google Drive to upload confidential files within the organization by using their personal logins.
IoT devices on the network are associated on their own VLAN on the users zone. Using Device Security, all IoT devices have been categorized by asset profiles with medium or high confidence, policy sets imported into Panorama, and a default deny applied to the IoT networks.
The organization has rolled out SSL decryption and is using URL categorization for the majority of content filtering. Malicious categories, unknown and high-risk websites are blocked, with the remainder of sites set to alert.
Which deployment method should the architect suggest for enabling User-ID based rules, restricting or allowing access as close to the source as possible, while minimizing operational overhead?

• A. Cloud Directory via SCIM to sync user groups to the Cloud Identity Engine and the firewalls
• B. Cloud Identity agent to sync user groups to the Cloud Identity Engine and the firewalls
• C. Panorama device template with a group mapping profile with group allow list to reduce group update time on the firewalls
• D. Panorama device template for data redistribution, referencing primary and secondary Panoramas as the User-ID agent
