Palo Alto Networks Network Security Architect Sample Questions:

1. An organization wants to migrate to an SSE model using Prisma Access for hybrid workforce connectivity. Following bandwidth analysis, network engineers have identified high-bandwidth requirements (>2 Gbps) sustained throughput to the data center for privately hosted applications (e.g., three tier applications active FTP and SMB file servers, EDR toolsets).
Business continuity for the organization requires the ability to use multiple cloud providers for private-application connectivity, ensuring no single cloud provider outage can disrupt operations.
The network operations team has expressed concerns about migrating to SSE with legacy routing technical debt noting multiple redistribution protocols in place across the environment.
Which two network connectivity methods will meet the business requirements to access private applications from Prisma Access? (Choose two.)

A) Service connections
B) ZTNA Connectors
C) Colo-Connect
D) Cloud gateways


2. An organization is in the process of building a network infrastructure that is cloud first. Part of the revised architecture includes Prisma Access as demonstrated in the diagram below. The organization has selected Strata Cloud Manager (SCM) as the management method for Prisma Access and NGFWs deployed at the data center and in public cloud environments. There are 150 NGFWs in place that are used to terminate service connections and segment networks as well as to secure the data center and public cloud resources.

One of the resilience requirements is to provide highly available directory services and authentication for the NGFW and Prisma Access deployment.
Which two configurations meet the design and customer requirements in this scenario? (Choose two.)

A) Firewalls connected to LDAP servers and Prisma Access connected to the Cloud Identity Engine with connections to the LDAP servers for directory services
B) Firewalls and Prisma Access connected to the Cloud Identity Engine with connections to Entra ID for directory services
C) Firewalls and Prisma Access for mobile users with RADIUS authentication
D) Firewalls and Prisma Access for mobile users configured with SAML authentication


3. A technology company is deploying its own AI applications on a Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) cluster. The development team is concerned about protecting the complex, microservices- based AI stack from both internal and external threats: such as data poisoning and lateral movement between containerized components. Which solution should be proposed to address these concerns?

A) AI Access Security with App-ID Cloud Engine
B) Prisma AIRS API Intercept
C) AI Access Security with Advanced URL Filtering
D) Prisma AIRS Network Intercept


4. A global organization is modernizing its data center and private cloud infrastructure. The environment consists of:
- A Nutanix AHV cluster hosting critical east-west application workloads
- A VMware ESXi cluster with multi-socket hosts, supporting high-throughput workloads (>10 Gbps)
- A new pair of PA-5450 firewalls to secure the perimeter and handle encrypted traffic inspection at scale
- Strict performance service-level agreements (SLAs) for both north-south and east-west flows, with heavy reliance on TLS 1.3 and IPSec
- A Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) environment on KVM to provide high-performance security services to maximize packet throughput and minimize latency The chief architect is tasked with ensuring that the firewall design avoids hypervisor contention optimizes non-uniform memory access (NUMA) and uses hardware features for encrypted traffic.
VM-Series on Nutanix AHV - Resource Allocation
- Because the Nutanix cluster is already heavily used, the architect's main concern is preventing performance degradation of the virtual firewall. Thin provisioning or ballooning could introduce latency and unpredictability which is unacceptable for a security-sensitive workload.
VM-Series on VMware ESXi - NUMA and vCPU Placement
- In the VMware ESXi environment, the architect is deploying VM-Series for workloads pushing >10 Gbps. Assigning vCPUs across NUMA nodes or oversubscribing cores would create latency due to cross-socket memory access and scheduling delays. Similarly, dedicating logical hypethreads does not provide the deterministic data plane performance required.
Operational Integration and High Availability
- With performance guaranteed by correct hypervisor and hardware provisioning, the architect also considers high availability (HA). VM-Series pairs are deployed in active/passive HA across Nutanix and VMware clusters, while PA-5450s form the data center's north-south secure perimeter deployment. This ensures resilience without introducing unnecessary east-west inspection bottlenecks.
- The recommendation must be a scalable, high-performance firewall deployment aligned with enterprise SLAs and the CISO's encrypted traffic concerns.
Which resource allocation strategy should the architect use for the VM-Series virtual machine (VM)?

A) Use thin provisioning for the VM's virtual disks to save storage space and allow for flexible growth.
B) Enable memory overcommitment (ballooning) on the VM to allow the hypervisor to reclaim unused memory for other workloads.
C) Implement CPU and memory reservation for the VM, pinning it to specific physical cores and reserving 100% of its allocated RAM.
D) Configure the VM with a high-priority setting in the AHV scheduler to ensure it gets preferential access to CPU cycles.


5. A global organization is modernizing its data center and private cloud infrastructure. The environment consists of:

- The recommendation must be a scalable, high-performance firewall deployment aligned with enterprise SLAs and the CISO's encrypted traffic concerns.
To optimize throughput and minimize latency, what is recommended to configure the vCPUs and NUMA for this deployment?

A) Ensure that all vCPUs assigned to the VM's data plane reside on a single physical NUMA node
B) Configure the number of vCPUs to be greater than the number of physical cores on the host in order to use the ESXi scheduler
C) Assign vCPUs from multiple NUMA nodes to allow the VM to access more memory
D) Enable hyperthreading on the physical host and assign all logical cores from a single physical core to the VM-Series
