Palo Alto Networks Network Security Architect Sample Questions:

1. You need to ensure compliance reporting and audit visibility for firewall activities. What should you use?

A) Static routing
B) Log forwarding and reporting
C) NAT rules
D) Disable logging

2. 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.
In which two ways should the organization architect for isolation of IoT with groupings based on the device types? (Choose two.)

A) Dynamic address groups
B) Device-ID based policies
C) Vendor OUI-based policy
D) CVE risk scoring-based policy

3. A global organization is in the process of securing critical applications during a cloud-based migration while migrating to a cloud-first design, and it is currently performing a brownfield migration of its most critical applications - such as CRM and product intellectual property / design systems - into Azure Cloud. The organization already has an active/passive high availability (HA) NGFW deployed at its data center with multiple zones and has replicated that design into its existing Azure HA deployment.
The organization recognizes the need to modernize its security posture as critical workloads move out of the data center and users connect from anywhere. Its security model is defined by a traditional "hard shell, soft center" approach:
Zero Trust Gaps
- Current network segmentation is perimeter-based. The organization wants to expand Zero Trust principles across cloud and on-premises environments.
- The network relies heavily on VLANs and IP address-based Access Control Lists (ACLs) segmented primarily by office location and broad departmental groups.
- Once employees are on the corporate network (i.e., inside the "perimeter"), they have relatively wide access.
- If attackers compromise a single endpoint (e.g., via a phishing email), they can easily move laterally and scan for high-value targets.
Cloud Blind Spots
- The organization uses Azure for its production environments and hosts applications that contain sensitive customer data.
- Security controls in the cloud are often managed independently of the on-premises network.
Access is frequently granted with overly permissive identity and access management (IAM) roles and keys based on the resource rather than the user's real-time context or application health.
Remote User Access
- Many remote users are still hairpinning into the corporate data center just to reach internet or SaaS resources, creating latency and inefficiency.
- Traditional VPN is used for remote employees.
- The VPN grants access to the entire internal network segment making the remote endpoint the new, weaker perimeter. There is no continuous check on the user's device health after the initial connection.
Visibility and Logging
- Logs are primarily stored on-premises, then forwarded to a local Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution. As applications move to Azure, visibility into cloud traffic and user behavior becomes fragmented.
Data Security Concern
- Sensitive data, including product design files, will now live in SaaS and cloud environments. The organization needs data security to prevent leakage and enforce compliance.
Ingress Security
- Third-party partners and suppliers require access into the data center and cloud applications, introducing risk at ingress points.
The organization needs to ensure data security and prevent the leakage of sensitive product design files since it is migrating to SaaS and cloud environments.
How would implementing a Next-Generation CASB (CASB-X) capability address the concerns in the scenario?

A) By replacing the reliance on VLANs and IP address-based Access Control Lists (ACLs) by enforcing a user-to-application microsegmentation policy based on identity
B) By providing data loss prevention (DLP) features to scan data-at-rest and data-in-transit in sanctioned SaaS and cloud applications
C) By applying URL filtering and malware prevention to all traffic destined for unsanctioned or risky cloud applications, reducing the attack surface
D) By continuously monitoring user behavior and device health from a central control point to prevent lateral movement if an attacker compromises an endpoint

4. A company needs to securely enable SaaS application usage while preventing data exfiltration.
The solution must provide visibility into application traffic and enforce granular controls. What should be used?

A) Static routing
B) NAT policies
C) App-ID with Data Filtering
D) URL filtering only

5. An organization is in the process of building a network infrastructure that is cloud first. Part of the revised architecture includes Prisma Access as demonstrated in the diagram below. The organization has selected Strata Cloud Manager (SCM) as the management method for Prisma Access and NGFWs deployed at the data center and in public cloud environments. There are 150 NGFWs in place that are used to terminate service connections and segment networks as well as to secure the data center and public cloud resources.

One of the resilience requirements is to provide highly available directory services and authentication for the NGFW and Prisma Access deployment.
Which two configurations meet the design and customer requirements in this scenario? (Choose two.)

A) Firewalls and Prisma Access connected to the Cloud Identity Engine with connections to Entra ID for directory services
B) Firewalls and Prisma Access for mobile users with RADIUS authentication
C) Firewalls and Prisma Access for mobile users configured with SAML authentication
D) Firewalls connected to LDAP servers and Prisma Access connected to the Cloud Identity Engine with connections to the LDAP servers for directory services
