Which component allows the flexibility to add network resources but does not require making changes to existing policies and rules?

  1. Content-ID
  2. External dynamic list
  3. App-ID
  4. Dynamic address group

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Dynamic address group is the component that allows the flexibility to add network resources but does not require making changes to existing policies and rules. Dynamic address group is an object that represents a group of IP addresses based on criteria such as tags, regions, interfaces, or user- defined attributes. Dynamic address group allows Security policies to adapt dynamically to changes in the network topology or workload characteristics without requiring manual updates. Content-ID, External dynamic list, and App-ID are not components that allow the flexibility to add network resources but do not require making changes to existing policies and rules, but they are related features that can enhance security and visibility.

Which PAN-OS feature allows for automated updates to address objects when VM-Series firewalls are setup as part of an NSX deployment?

  1. Boundary automation
  2. Hypervisor integration
  3. Bootstrapping
  4. Dynamic Address Group

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Dynamic Address Group is the PAN-OS feature that allows for automated updates to address objects when VM-Series firewalls are setup as part of an NSX deployment. NSX is a software-defined network (SDN) solution that provides network virtualization, automation, and security for cloud-native applications. Dynamic Address Group is an object that represents a group of IP addresses based on criteria such as tags, regions, interfaces, or user-defined attributes. Dynamic Address Group allows Security policies to adapt dynamically to changes in the network topology or workload characteristics without requiring manual updates.
When VM-Series firewalls are setup as part of an NSX deployment, they can leverage the NSX tags assigned to virtual machines (VMs) or containers by the NSX manager or controller to populate Dynamic Address Groups and update Security policies accordingly. Boundary automation, Hypervisor integration, and Bootstrapping are not PAN-OS features that allow for automated updates to address objects when VM-Series firewalls are setup as part of an NSX deployment, but they are related concepts that can be used for other purposes.

Which two factors lead to improved return on investment for prospects interested in Palo Alto Networks virtualized next-generation firewalls (NGFWs)? (Choose two.)

  1. Decreased likelihood of data breach
  2. Reduced operational expenditures
  3. Reduced time to deploy
  4. Reduced insurance premiums

Answer(s): A,C

Explanation:

The two factors that lead to improved return on investment for prospects interested in Palo Alto Networks virtualized next-generation firewalls (NGFWs) are:
Decreased likelihood of data breach
Reduced time to deploy
Palo Alto Networks virtualized NGFWs are virtualized versions of the Palo Alto Networks next- generation firewall that can be deployed on various cloud or virtualization platforms. Palo Alto Networks virtualized NGFWs provide comprehensive security and visibility across hybrid and multi- cloud environments, protecting applications and data from cyberattacks. By using Palo Alto Networks virtualized NGFWs, prospects can decrease the likelihood of data breach by applying granular security policies based on application, user, content, and threat information, and by leveraging cloud-delivered services such as Threat Prevention, WildFire, URL Filtering, DNS Security, and Cortex Data Lake. By using Palo Alto Networks virtualized NGFWs, prospects can also reduce the time to deploy by taking advantage of automation and orchestration tools such as Terraform, Ansible, CloudFormation, ARM templates, and Panorama plugins that simplify and accelerate the deployment and configuration of firewalls across different cloud platforms. Reduced operational expenditures and reduced insurance premiums are not factors that lead to improved return on investment for prospects interested in Palo Alto Networks virtualized NGFWs, but they may be potential benefits or outcomes of using them.

Auto scaling templates for which type of firewall enable deployment of a single auto scaling group (ASG) of VM-Series firewalls to secure inbound traffic from the internet to Amazon Web Services (AWS) application workloads?

  1. HA-Series
  2. CN-Series
  3. IPA-Series
  4. VM-Series

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Auto scaling templates for VM-Series firewalls enable deployment of a single auto scaling group

(ASG) of VM-Series firewalls to secure inbound traffic from the internet to Amazon Web Services (AWS) application workloads. An ASG is a collection of EC2 instances that share similar characteristics and can be scaled up or down automatically based on demand or predefined conditions. Auto scaling templates for VM-Series firewalls are preconfigured templates that provide the necessary resources and configuration to deploy and manage VM-Series firewalls in an ASG on AWS. Auto scaling templates for VM-Series firewalls can be used to secure inbound traffic from the internet to AWS application workloads by placing the ASG of VM-Series firewalls behind an AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) or a Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) that distributes the traffic across the firewalls. The firewalls can then inspect and enforce security policies on the inbound traffic before sending it to the application workloads. Auto scaling templates for HA-Series, CN-Series, and IPA-Series firewalls do not enable deployment of a single ASG of VM-Series firewalls to secure inbound traffic from the internet to AWS application workloads, as those are different types of firewalls that have different deployment models and use cases.
