Source: Untrust (Any) Destination: DMZ Application(s): web-browsing Action: allow

Source: Untrust (Any) Destination: DMZ Application(s): ssh Action: allow

NEW QUESTION 24

Which dynamic component should the administrator use when setting the Peer HA1 IP address?

Template stack

Template variable

Address object

NEW QUESTION 25
After a Best Practice Assessment (BPA) is complete, it is determined that dynamic updates for Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS) used by company branch offices do not match recommendations. The snippet used for dynamic updates is currently set to download and install updates weekly.
Knowing these devices have the Precision Al bundle, which two statements describe how the settings need to be adjusted in the snippet? (Choose two.)

Applications and threats should be updated daily.

Antivirus should be updated daily.

WildFire should be updated every five minutes.

URL filtering should be updated hourly.

A Best Practice Assessment (BPA) evaluates firewall configurations against Palo Alto Networks’ recommended best practices. In this case, the Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS) update settings do not align with best practices, as they are currently set to weekly updates, which delays threat prevention.
Best Practices for Dynamic Updates in the Precision AI Bundle
Applications and Threats – Update Daily
Regular updates ensure the firewall detects and blocks the latest exploits, vulnerabilities, and malware.
Weekly updates are too slow and leave the network vulnerable to newly discovered attacks.
WildFire – Update Every Five Minutes
WildFire is Palo Alto Networks’ cloud-based malware analysis engine, which identifies and mitigates new threats in near real-time.
Updating every five minutes ensures that newly discovered malware signatures are applied quickly.
A weekly update would significantly delay threat response.
Other Answer Choices Analysis
(B) Antivirus should be updated daily.
While frequent updates are recommended, Antivirus in Palo Alto firewalls is updated hourly by default (not daily).
(D) URL Filtering should be updated hourly.
URL Filtering databases are updated dynamically in the cloud, and do not require fixed hourly updates.
URL filtering effectiveness depends on cloud integration rather than frequent updates.
Reference and Justification:
Firewall Deployment – Ensuring dynamic updates align with best practices enhances security.
Security Policies – Applications, Threats, and WildFire updates are critical for enforcing protection policies.
Threat Prevention & WildFire – Frequent updates reduce the window of exposure to new threats.
Panorama – Updates can be managed centrally for branch offices.
Zero Trust Architectures – Requires real-time threat intelligence updates.
Thus, Applications & Threats (A) should be updated daily, and WildFire (C) should be updated every five minutes to maintain optimal security posture in accordance with BPA recommendations.

NEW QUESTION 26
With Strata Cloud Manager (SCM), which action will efficiently manage Security policies across multiple cloud providers and on-premises data centers?

Use snippets and folders to define and enforce uniform Security policies across environments.

Use the “Feature Adoption” visibility tab on a weekly basis to make adjustments across the network.

Allow each cloud provider’s native security tools to handle policy enforcement independently.

Create and manage separate Security policies for each environment to address specific needs.

With Strata Cloud Manager (SCM), efficiently managing Security Policies across multiple cloud providers and on-premises data centers is achieved by using snippets and folders to ensure policy uniformity.
Why Snippets and Folders Are the Correct Approach?
Enforce Consistent Security Policies Across Hybrid Environments –
SCM allows administrators to define security policy templates (snippets) and apply them uniformly across all cloud and on-prem environments.
This prevents security gaps and misconfigurations when managing multiple deployments.
Improves Operational Efficiency –
Instead of manually creating policies for each deployment, folders and snippets allow reusable configurations, saving time and reducing errors.
Maintains Compliance Across All Deployments –
Ensures consistent enforcement of security best practices across cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP) and on-prem data centers.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect?
B . Use the “Feature Adoption” visibility tab on a weekly basis to make adjustments across the network. ❌ Incorrect, because Feature Adoption is a monitoring tool, not a policy enforcement mechanism.
It helps track feature utilization, but does not actively manage security policies.
C . Allow each cloud provider’s native security tools to handle policy enforcement independently. ❌ Incorrect, because this would create inconsistent security policies across environments.
SCM is designed to unify security policy management across all cloud providers.
D . Create and manage separate Security policies for each environment to address specific needs. ❌ Incorrect, because managing separate policies manually increases complexity and risk of misconfigurations.
SCM’s snippets and folders allow centralized, consistent policy enforcement.
Reference to Firewall Deployment and Security Features:
Firewall Deployment – SCM applies uniform security policies across cloud and on-prem environments.
Security Policies – Enforces consistent rule sets using snippets and folders.
VPN Configurations – Ensures secure communication between different environments.
Threat Prevention – Blocks threats across multi-cloud and hybrid deployments.
WildFire Integration – Ensures threat detection remains consistent across all environments.
Zero Trust Architectures – Maintains consistent security enforcement for Zero Trust segmentation.
Thus, the correct answer is:
✅ A. Use snippets and folders to define and enforce uniform Security policies across environments.

NEW QUESTION 27
When using the perfect forward secrecy (PFS) key exchange, how does a firewall behave when SSL Inbound Inspection is enabled?

It acts as meddler-in-the-middle between the client and the internal server.

It acts transparently between the client and the internal server.

It decrypts inbound and outbound SSH connections.

It decrypts traffic between the client and the external server.
