Eliminate Risk of Failure with Palo Alto Networks PSE-SWFW-Pro-24 Exam Dumps

A . DNS sinkholing: DNS sinkholing redirects DNS requests for known malicious domains to a designated server, preventing users from accessing those sites. It doesn't inherently protect or hide an internal network in outbound flows. It's more of a preventative measure against accessing malicious external resources.

B . User-ID: User-ID maps network traffic to specific users, enabling policy enforcement based on user identity. It provides visibility and control but doesn't hide the internal network's addressing scheme in outbound connections.

C . App-ID: App-ID identifies applications traversing the network, allowing for application-based policy enforcement. Like User-ID, it doesn't mask the internal network's addressing.

D . NAT (Network Address Translation): NAT translates private IP addresses used within an internal network to a public IP address when traffic leaves the network. This effectively hides the internal IP addressing scheme from the external network. Outbound connections appear to originate from the public IP address of the NAT device (typically the firewall), thus protecting and hiding the internal network's structure.

Therefore, NAT is the element that protects and hides an internal network in an outbound flow.

AWS: Cloud NGFW for AWS leverages AWS Gateway Load Balancer (GWLB) endpoints. These endpoints require dedicated subnets in your VPC for each Availability Zone where you want to deploy the Cloud NGFW. This ensures high availability and proper traffic routing.

Let's look at why the other options are not the primary answer:

Google Cloud Platform (GCP): While GCP has its own networking constructs, Cloud NGFW for GCP doesn't have the same dedicated subnet requirement for endpoints as AWS.

Alibaba Cloud: I don't have specific information about Cloud NGFW deployment models for Alibaba Cloud.

Microsoft Azure: Cloud NGFW for Azure integrates with Azure Virtual WAN and doesn't have the same dedicated subnet requirement for endpoints as AWS.

Credit-based flexible licensing provides flexibility in deploying and managing Palo Alto Networks software firewalls. Let's analyze the options:

A . Create virtual Panoramas: While Panorama can manage software firewalls, credit-based licensing is primarily focused on the firewalls themselves (VM-Series, CN-Series, Cloud NGFW), not on Panorama. Panorama has its own licensing model.

B . Add Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS) subscriptions to CN-Series firewalls: This is a VALID benefit. Credit-based licensing allows customers to use credits to enable CDSS subscriptions (like Threat Prevention, URL Filtering, WildFire) on CN-Series firewalls. This provides flexibility in choosing and applying security services as needed.

C . Create Cloud NGFWs: This is a VALID benefit. Cloud NGFW for AWS and Azure are licensed through a credit-based system. Customers consume credits based on usage.

D . Add Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS) subscriptions to PA-Series firewalls: PA-Series firewalls are hardware appliances and use traditional licensing methods. Credit-based licensing is not applicable to them.

CN-Series firewalls are containerized firewalls designed for Kubernetes environments. They support key next-generation firewall features:

A . App-ID: This is SUPPORTED. App-ID is a core technology of Palo Alto Networks firewalls, enabling identification and control of applications regardless of port, protocol, or evasive techniques. CN-Series firewalls leverage App-ID to provide granular application visibility and control within containerized environments.

B . Decryption: This is SUPPORTED. CN-Series firewalls can perform SSL/TLS decryption to inspect encrypted traffic for threats and enforce security policies on decrypted content.

C . GlobalProtect: This is NOT SUPPORTED. GlobalProtect is primarily designed for endpoint security and remote access. While there are integrations with containerized applications in the context of securing access to them, GlobalProtect is not a core feature of the CN-Series firewall itself.

D . Content-ID: This is SUPPORTED. Content-ID provides threat prevention capabilities, including antivirus, anti-spyware, vulnerability protection, and URL filtering. CN-Series firewalls utilize Content-ID to protect containerized workloads from known and unknown threats.

E . IPSec: While CN-Series can participate in secure communication with other systems, they don't directly terminate IPSec tunnels in the same way a traditional firewall might. Their focus is on securing traffic within the Kubernetes cluster and between the cluster and external networks through other means (like service meshes or ingress controllers).

Automating VM-Series firewall deployment in public clouds is crucial for efficient and consistent deployments. Here's a breakdown of the options:

A . GitHub PaloAltoNetworks Terraform SWFW modules: This is a VALID method. Palo Alto Networks maintains Terraform modules on GitHub specifically designed for deploying VM-Series firewalls in various cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP). These modules provide pre-built configurations and best practices, simplifying and automating the infrastructure provisioning.

B . Deployment configuration in the public cloud Panorama plugins: While Panorama plugins enhance management and visibility, they don't directly automate the deployment of the VM-Series instances themselves in the cloud provider's infrastructure. Plugins primarily focus on post-deployment configuration, management, and monitoring. They rely on the instances being already deployed.

C . paloaltonetworks.panos Ansible collection: While Ansible is a powerful automation tool and the paloaltonetworks.panos collection allows for configuring and managing existing Palo Alto Networks devices, it's not the primary tool for deploying the VM-Series instances in the cloud. It's used for configuration after the instances are deployed.

D . panos Terraform provider: This is a VALID method. The Terraform provider for Palo Alto Networks firewalls (panos) allows for managing the configuration of the firewalls (like policies, objects, etc.) but also, importantly, can be used in conjunction with cloud provider Terraform providers (like aws, azurerm, google) to automate the entire deployment process, including the creation of the VM instances themselves.
