Answer : D

Advanced WildFire supports direct integrations into third-party security tools through the WildFire API, enabling automated threat intelligence sharing and real-time verdict dissemination.

''WildFire exposes a RESTful API that third-party applications can leverage to integrate WildFire's analysis results and threat intelligence seamlessly into their own security workflows.''

The API provides:

Verdict retrieval

Sample submission

Report retrieval

''Use the WildFire API to submit samples, retrieve verdicts, and obtain detailed analysis reports for integration with your existing security infrastructure.''

Answer : D

To create custom Prisma Access reports within SCM, you first configure a dashboard that aggregates the relevant logs and analytics. This allows you to define the data points you want to include.

''Dashboards in SCM can be customized to include Prisma Access data sources, enabling you to create and generate reports that meet specific business and security requirements.''

(Source: SCM Dashboards and Reporting)

Once configured, you can export the dashboard as a custom report.

''Use the dashboard's data visualization to create custom reports for Prisma Access, which can be exported as PDFs for distribution.''

Answer : C, D

Cloud NGFW for AWS can be configured using Panorama for centralized management, as well as the AWS management console for native integration and configuration.

''You can configure Cloud NGFW for AWS using Panorama for centralized security management, or directly through the AWS management console to deploy and manage security services for your AWS resources.''

Answer : B

Negated source addresses exclude traffic from the specified region. To avoid accidental connectivity loss for traffic from that region, create a separate Security policy to explicitly permit it.

''When you use a negated region in a Security policy rule, ensure to create an additional Security policy to permit traffic from the excluded (negated) region to avoid unintentional drops.''

This ensures explicit inclusivity for the excluded region, maintaining reliable connectivity.

Answer : D

SSL Inbound Inspection allows the firewall to decrypt incoming encrypted traffic to internal servers (e.g., web servers) by acting as a man-in-the-middle (MITM). The firewall uses the private key of the server to decrypt the session and apply security policies before re-encrypting the traffic.

''SSL Inbound Inspection requires you to import the server's private key and certificate into the firewall. The firewall then acts as a man-in-the-middle (MITM) to decrypt inbound sessions from external clients to internal servers for inspection.''

Answer : B, C

Panorama allows engineers to create custom reports and generate PDF summary formats for consistent reporting across NGFWs.

Custom Reports

''Custom Reports provide tailored reporting based on URL categories, application usage, and threat visibility. They are generated within Panorama and can include data on newly categorized AI URL types.''

(Source: Panorama Reports)

PDF Summaries

''You can generate PDF summary reports to distribute these insights across branch firewalls, providing an easy-to-read format for compliance and operational review.''

(Source: Export Reports as PDF)

Together, these options provide a consistent, standardized method to push insights about AI-based URL categories to branch devices.

Answer : B

An ALG is designed to inspect and modify the payload of application-layer protocols (like SIP, FTP, etc.) to manage dynamic port allocations and session information.

''Application Layer Gateways (ALGs) inspect the payload of certain protocols to dynamically manage sessions that use dynamic port assignments. By modifying payloads, the ALG ensures that NAT and security policies are correctly applied.''
