A global manufacturing organization has a strategic plan for rapid growth through mergers and acquisitions Several components the organization has purchased are deemed large deployments with existing IP address schemas and allocations that conflict with the parent organization. The manufacturing organization needs access to the resources before a re-IP initiative can be completed.
All of the deployments include a variety of IoT devices Leadership requires protection of vulnerable assets and identification of any known CVEs associated with the IoT devices. The governance, risk and compliance (GRC) team requires comprehensive non-repudiable logs to identify all IoT devices reporting "Critical (9 0+) CVE scores" for mandatory remediation.
Throughput needs to exceed the current 1 Gbps trending rate, and with expected growth will soon scale to 5 Gbps.
Segmentation is a mandatory requirement with enclaves based on region, device type, and function.
Which architectural component ensures the IoT storage, integrity, and non-repudiation of this granular risk data for auditing purposes?

• A. NGFW's session table, which is encrypted with the master key
• B. Strata Logging Service for cloud storage of the security logs and device telemetry
• C. GlobalProtect agent to collect device posture and to locally log all critical CVE scores
• D. Panorama log collector using its local database with a 90-day retention policy

A global organization has fully adopted Prisma Access to provide security for its mobile workforce and remote offices, and user identity is managed in Okta. The security team wants to create consistent Security policies that grant access to specific SaaS applications based on a users' departments, regardless of whether they work from home or a from branch office connected via an SD-WAN device. Which architecture ensures that consistent user-to-group mapping is available to Prisma Access for policy enforcement in this use case?

• A. Deploy Panorama to manage Prisma Access and configure it to pull user and group information from Okta via the Cloud Identity Engine
• B. Install the Palo Alto Networks User-ID agent and configure it to sync user information from Okta to Prisma Access
• C. Configure SAML federation between Prisma Access and Okta to provide user identity for every web request
• D. Configure each remote office SD-WAN device and each user's GlobalProtect client to query Okta directly for user information

An organization has a directive to adopt a Zero Trust framework focused on using identity and role-based access groups, device security and content inspection across all Security policies. To achieve this goal, an Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) was purchased, including Advanced Threat Prevention, IoT Security, and GlobalProtect.
The current security architecture uses Panorama to manage 60 NGFWs - a mix of PA-3240, PA-1410, and PA-440. Sites with PA-3240s host private application resources in the trust data center zone All sites have an untrust zone for internet access and a users zone for managed and unmanaged endpoint devices. A transit mesh zone exists to establish site-to-site connectivity through PAN-OS SD-WAN.
Privately hosted applications include web servers, SMB and NFS file servers and hosted Active Directory. The organization is in the process of adopting group mapping restrictions to these private applications, with daily additions of groups. It is also planning to build AI applications to assist the data teams with complex queries that will be hosted in the large offices containing data centers and is exploring hosting in the public cloud.
The organization uses on-premises Exchange, Dropbox, Zoom, and ChatGPT. There are a number of shadow SaaS applications that require further investigation. Users have been using Google Drive to upload confidential files within the organization by using their personal logins.
IoT devices on the network are associated on their own VLAN on the users zone. Using Device Security, all IoT devices have been categorized by asset profiles with medium or high confidence, policy sets imported into Panorama, and a default deny applied to the IoT networks.
The organization has rolled out SSL decryption and is using URL categorization for the majority of content filtering. Malicious categories, unknown and high-risk websites are blocked, with the remainder of sites set to alert.
Which deployment method should the architect suggest for enabling User-ID based rules, restricting or allowing access as close to the source as possible, while minimizing operational overhead?

• A. Panorama device template with a group mapping profile with group allow list to reduce group update time on the firewalls
• B. Cloud Identity agent to sync user groups to the Cloud Identity Engine and the firewalls
• C. Cloud Directory via SCIM to sync user groups to the Cloud Identity Engine and the firewalls
• D. Panorama device template for data redistribution, referencing primary and secondary Panoramas as the User-ID agent

A company needs to securely enable SaaS application usage while preventing data exfiltration.
The solution must provide visibility into application traffic and enforce granular controls. What should be used?

• A. NAT policies
• B. URL filtering only
• C. App-ID with Data Filtering
• D. Static routing
