Panorama is the designated centralized management solution from Palo Alto Networks. It provides a single console to manage security policies, device configurations, and logs across the entire Strata ecosystem. This includes physical Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs), virtualized VM-Series firewalls, and the cloud-delivered Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) solution, Prisma Access. Using Panorama ensures consistent policy enforcement and operational efficiency across both on-premises and cloud-based security infrastructure, making it the primary management interface for both platforms.

B. AWS Management Console is used to manage Amazon Web Services infrastructure, not the internal security policies of Palo Alto Networks devices.

C. Cisco SecureX is a security platform from a competing vendor (Cisco) and cannot be used to manage Palo Alto Networks products.

D. The CLI is a valid interface for managing individual firewalls but is not the primary tool for centralized management of both NGFWs and SASE.
