Paloalto Networks PSE-SWFW-Pro-24 Exam Dumps - Actual Questions Answers

CN-Series firewalls are specifically designed for containerized environments.  

Why A, C, and E are correct:

A. Prevention of sensitive data exfiltration from Kubernetes environments:CN-Series provides visibility and control over container traffic, enabling the prevention of data leaving the Kubernetes cluster without authorization.  

C. Inbound, outbound, and east-west traffic between containers:CN-Series secures all types of container traffic: ingress (inbound), egress (outbound), and traffic between containers within the cluster (east-west).  

E. Enforcement of segmentation policies that prevent lateral movement of threats:CN-Series allows for granular segmentation of containerized applications, limiting the impact of breaches by preventing threats from spreading laterally within the cluster.

Why B and D are incorrect:

B. All Kubernetes workloads in the public and private cloud:While CN-Series can protect Kubernetes workloads in both public and private clouds, the statement "all Kubernetes workloads" is too broad. Its focus is on securing the network traffic around those workloads, not managing the Kubernetes infrastructure itself.

D. All workloads deployed on-premises or in the public cloud:CN-Series is specifically designed for containerized environments (primarily Kubernetes). It's notintended to protect all workloads deployed in any environment. That's the role of other Palo Alto Networks products like VM-Series, PA-Series, and Prisma Access.  

Palo Alto Networks References:The Palo Alto Networks documentation on CN-Series firewalls clearly outlines these use cases. Look for information on:

CN-Series Datasheets and Product Pages:These resources describe the key features and benefits of CN-Series, including its focus on container security.

CN-Series Deployment Guides:These guides provide detailed information on deploying and configuring CN-Series in Kubernetes environments.

These resources confirm that CN-Series is focused on securing container traffic within Kubernetes environments, including data exfiltration prevention, securing all traffic directions (inbound, outbound, east-west), and enforcing segmentation

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 aVALIDbenefit. 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.

This question asks about common characteristics of Cloud NGFW (specifically referring to Cloud NGFW for AWS and Azure) and VM-Series firewalls.

B. In Azure and AWS, both offerings can be managed by Panorama.This is correct. Panorama is the centralized management platform for Palo Alto Networks firewalls, including both VM-Series and Cloud NGFW deployments in AWS and Azure. Panorama allows for consistent policy management, logging, and reporting across these different deployment models.  

D. In Azure, inbound destination NAT configuration also requires source NAT to maintain flow symmetry.This is accurate specifically within the Azure environment. Due to how Azure networking functions, when performing destination NAT (DNAT) for inbound traffic to resources behind a firewall (whether VM-Series or Cloud NGFW), it's typically necessary to also implement source NAT (SNAT) to ensure return traffic follows the same path. This maintains flow symmetry and prevents routing issues. This is an Azure networking characteristic, not specific to the Palo Alto offerings themselves, but it applies tobothin Azure.  

E. In Azure and AWS, internal (east-west) flows can be inspected without any NAT.This is generally true. For traffic within the same Virtual Network (Azure) or VPC (AWS), both VM-Series and Cloud NGFW can inspect traffic without requiring NAT. This is a key advantage for microsegmentation and internal security. The firewalls can act as transparent security gateways for internal traffic.

Why other options are incorrect:

A. In Azure, both offerings can be integrated directly into Virtual WAN hubs.While VM-Series firewallscanbe integrated into Azure Virtual WAN hubs as secured virtual hubs, Cloud NGFW for Azure isnotdirectly integrated into Virtual WAN hubs in the same way. Cloud NGFW for Azure uses a different architecture, deploying as a service within a virtual network.  

C. In AWS, both offerings can be managed by AWS Firewall Manager.AWS Firewall Manager is a service for managing AWS WAF, AWS Shield, and network firewalls (AWS Network Firewall). While AWS Firewall Manager can be used to manage AWS Network Firewall, it isnotthe management plane for Palo Alto Networks VM-Series or Cloud NGFW for AWS. These are managed by Panorama.
