A systems engineer (SE) has joined a team to work with a managed security services provider (MSSP) that is evaluating PAN-OS for edge connections to their customer base. The MSSP is concerned about how to efficiently handle routing with all of its customers, especially how to handle BGP peering, because it has created a standard set of rules and settings that it wants to apply to each customer, as well as to maintain and update them. The solution requires logically separated BGP peering setups for each customer. What should the SE do to increase the probability of Palo Alto Networks being awarded the deal?

Establish with the MSSP the use of vsys as the better way to segregate their environment so that customer data does not intermingle

A customer with a legacy firewall architecture is focused on port and protocol level security, and has heard that next generation firewalls open all ports by default.
What is the appropriate rebuttal that positions the value of a NGFW over a legacy firewall?

Palo Alto Networks keep ports closed by default, only opening ports after understanding the application request, and then opening only the application- specified ports

Default policies block all interzone traffic. Palo Alto Networks empowers you to control applications by default ports or a configurable list of approved ports on a per-policy basis

Palo Alto Networks NGFW protects all applications on all ports while leaving all ports opened by default

Palo Alto Networks does not consider port information, instead relying on App-ID signatures that do not reference ports

What is the recommended architecture to synchronize the company's AD with Palo Alto Networks firewalls?

Configure a group mapping profile with an include group list

Configure NGFWs to synchronize with the AD after deploying the Cloud Identity Engine (CIE) and agents

Recommend deploying a new NGFW firewall alongside the customer's existing port-based firewall until they are comfortable removing the port-based firewall

Assure the customer that the migration wizard will automatically convert port-based rules to application-based rules upon installation of the new NGFW

Discuss the PAN-OS Policy Optimizer feature as a means to safely migrate port-based rules to application-based rules

A prospective customer currently uses a firewall that provides only Layer 4

inspection and protections. The customer sees traffic going to an external destination, port 53, but cannot determine what Layer 7 application traffic is going over that port

Which capability of PAN-OS would address the customer's lack of visibility?

App-ID, because it will give visibility into what exact applications are being run over that port and allow the customer to block unsanctioned applications using port 53

User-ID, because it will allow the customer to see which users are sending traffic to external destinations over port 53

Single pass architecture (SPA), because it will improve the performance of the Palo Alto Networks Layer 7 inspection

Device ID, because it will give visibility into which devices are communicating with external destinations over port 53

and regulatory issues. How does the platform address the customer’s concern?

It allows a list of websites or URL categories to be defined for exclusion from decryption

It bypasses the need to decrypt SSL traffic by analyzing the file while still encrypted

It overcomes reservations about SSL decrypt by offloading to a higher-capacity firewall to help with the decrypt throughput

It shows how AutoFocus can provide visibility into targeted attacks at the industry sector

55 / 60

58 / 60

A packet that is already associated with a current session arrives at the firewall.

What is the flow of the packet after the firewall determines that it is matched with an existing session?

It is sent through the fast path because session establishment is not required. If subject to content inspection, it will pass through multiple content inspection engines before egress

It is sent through the slow path for further inspection. If subject to content inspection, it will pass through a single stream-based content inspection engines before egress
