Which technique changes protocols at random during a session?

  1. use of non-standard ports
  2. port hopping
  3. hiding within SSL encryption
  4. tunneling within commonly used services

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Port hopping is a technique that changes protocols at random during a session to evade detection and analysis by security devices. Port hopping can be used by malware or attackers to communicate with command and control servers or to exfiltrate data. Port hopping makes it difficult to identify and block malicious traffic based on port numbers or signatures.

What is the primary security focus after consolidating data center hypervisor hosts within trust levels?

  1. control and protect inter-host traffic using routers configured to use the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) dynamic routing protocol
  2. control and protect inter-host traffic by exporting all your traffic logs to a sysvol log server using the User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
  3. control and protect inter-host traffic by using IPv4 addressing
  4. control and protect inter-host traffic using physical network security appliances

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

page 211 "Consolidating servers within trust levels: Organizations often consolidate servers within the same trust level into a single virtual computing environment: ... ... ... This virtual systems capability enables a single physical device to be used to simultaneously meet the unique requirements of multiple VMs or groups of VMs. Control and protection of inter-host traffic with physical network security appliances that are properly positioned and configured is the primary security focus."



Which product from Palo Alto Networks extends the Security Operating Platform with the global threat intelligence and attack context needed to accelerate analysis, forensics, and hunting workflows?

  1. Global Protect
  2. WildFire
  3. AutoFocus
  4. STIX

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

page 173 "AutoFocus makes over a billion samples and sessions, including billions of artifacts, immediately actionable for security analysis and response efforts. AutoFocus extends the product portfolio with the global threat intelligence and attack context needed to accelerate analysis, forensics, and hunting workflows. Together, the platform and AutoFocus move security teams away from legacy manual approaches that rely on aggregating a growing number of detectionbased alerts and post-event mitigation, to preventing sophisticated attacks and enabling proactive hunting activities."



Which characteristic of serverless computing enables developers to quickly deploy application code?

  1. Uploading cloud service autoscaling services to deploy more virtual machines to run their application code based on user demand
  2. Uploading the application code itself, without having to provision a full container image or any OS virtual machine components
  3. Using cloud service spot pricing to reduce the cost of using virtual machines to run their application code
  4. Using Container as a Service (CaaS) to deploy application containers to run their code.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

"In serverless apps, the developer uploads only the app package itself, without a full container image or any OS components. The platform dynamically packages it into an image, runs the image in a container, and (if needed) instantiates the underlying host OS and VM and the hardware required to run them."



Which key component is used to configure a static route?

  1. router ID
  2. enable setting
  3. routing protocol
  4. next hop IP address

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

A static route is a manually configured route that specifies the destination network and the next hop IP address or interface to reach it. A static route does not depend on any routing protocol and remains in the routing table until it is removed or overridden. Static routes are useful for defining default routes, reaching stub networks, or providing backup routes in case of link failures. To configure a static route in a virtual router on a Palo Alto Networks firewall, you need to specify the name, destination, interface, and next hop IP address or virtual router of the route.
