Using the 'No Decrypt' action for specific traffic flows in Palo Alto Networks Strata NGFW or Prisma Access Decryption policy has significant implications for security visibility. When a session matches a 'No Decrypt' rule, which of the following security features or inspection capabilities are typically unavailable or severely limited for that specific encrypted session? (Select all that apply)

• A. Applying Threat Prevention signatures (Vulnerability Protection, Antispyware) to detect exploits or command-and-control traffic hidden within the encrypted payload.
• B. Scanning the file content transferred within the session for malware using WildFire or Antivirus.
• C. Blocking sessions based on the source or destination IP address matching a high-risk external dynamic list (EDL).
• D. Enforcing URL Filtering based on the full requested URL path, beyond just the hostname presented in the Server Name Indication (SNI) field.
• E. App-ID identification of the application within the encrypted tunnel.

In a GlobalProtect deployment using a Palo Alto Networks NGFW or Prisma Access, what is the primary role of a GlobalProtect Portal?

• A. To act as the central management point for all GlobalProtect Gateways.
• B. To collect and fomard logs to Cortex Data Lake.
• C. To perform deep security inspection (Threat Prevention, URL Filtering) on user traffic.
• D. To provide the GlobalProtect agent software and initial client configurations to end-users.
• E. To terminate the secure tunnel from the GlobalProtect agent.

An organization is deploying GlobalProtect. They want to implement certificate-based authentication for the GlobalProtect clients to the Gateway, in addition to username/password or multi-factor authentication. This provides an extra layer of trust based on the client device identity Which configuration steps are necessary on the Palo Alto Networks NGFW or Prisma Access Gateway and potentially on the client side to enable this? (Select all that apply)

• A. Enable SSL Inbound Inspection on the GlobalProtect Gateway interface.
• B. Import a Client CA certificate onto the GlobalProtect Gateway and configure an Authentication Profile to use certificate authentication, referencing this C
• C. Configure the GlobalProtect Agent settings to use certificate-based authentication when connecting to the Gateway.
• D. Ensure the certificate presented by the Gateway is signed by a CA trusted by the client device.
• E. Issue and deploy unique Client Certificates to each GlobalProtect endpoint that will authenticate via certificate.

An administrator is monitoring a Prisma Access deployment. They need to visualize the volume of traffic from remote users to various applications and destinations over the past 24 hours, segmented by application category (e.g., web-browsing, file-sharing, business- systems). Which dashboard or reporting tool within the Prisma Access Cloud Management Console provides this type of high-level traffic visibility?

• A. HIP Match Logs.
• B. Real-time Session Browser.
• C. System Logs.
• D. Monitor > App Scope or ACC (Application Command Center) view.
• E. Security Policy rule hit counter view.

A remote user connected to Prisma Access via GlobalProtect attempts to access both a public SaaS application (e.g., Salesforce) and a private application hosted in the corporate data center. Both applications are accessed over HTTPS. How does Prisma Access facilitate and secure access to these two distinct types of applications for the remote user?

• A. Public SaaS traffic is routed directly to the internet via the user's local connection, bypassing Prisma Access security inspection.
• B. Access to both application types is determined solely by the user's device posture, as evaluated by GlobalProtect HIP.
• C. Both public SaaS and private application traffic are routed to the corporate data center first, where they are inspected by an on-premises firewall before being forwarded to their destinations.
• D. Prisma Access only secures access to private applications; public internet access requires a separate security solution.
• E. Both public SaaS and private application traffic are tunneled to Prisma Access. Public SaaS traffic is then inspected and routed to the internet via the nearest cloud service edge, while private application traffic is routed through a 'Service Connection' tunnel to the corporate data center for access.
