PCNSE-2023 EXAM RATED A+
1.1 Identify how Palo Alto Networks products work together to improve PAN-OS services - ✔✔Security
Operations
PA cybersecurity portfolio is organized into 3 offerings. What are they? - ✔✔1- strata for enterprise
security
2- prisma for cloud security
3- cortex for security operations
What functions does strata provide? - ✔✔Strata prevents attacks with the industry-leading network
security suite that enables organizations to embrace network transformation while consistently security
users applications, and data - no matter where they reside. The suite brings together the following:
Machine learning powered next generation firewalls (physical appliance, virtual appliance, and cloud
delivered services)
What functions does prisma cloud provide? - ✔✔Prisma cloud delivers complete security across the
development lifecycle on any cloud, enabling you to develop cloud native applications with confidence.
The prisma suite includes prisma cloud, prisma access secure access service edge (sase), prisma saas,
and the vm series ml powered ngfws.
What functions does cortex provide? - ✔✔Cortex is the industry's most comprehensive product suite
for security operations, empowering enterprises with best-in-class detection, investigation, automation,
and response capabilities. The Cortex product suite includes Cortex XDR, Cortex XSOAR, Cortex Data
Lake, and AutoFocus.
1.2 Firewall Components - ✔✔Security Zones
Security Policy
Traffic Processing Sequence
app-id - ✔✔information about application
, PCNSE-2023 EXAM RATED A+
user-id - ✔✔information about the source user
content-id - ✔✔the content of allowed sessions can be scanned based on security profiles to identify
unwanted traffic content.
Single Pass Parallel Processing Architecture - ✔✔The PA Networks NGFW was designed to use an
efficient system known as next-generation processing. Next-generation processing enables packet
evaluation, application identification, policy decisions, and content scanning in a single, efficient
processing pass.
1.1.3 Panorama components - ✔✔
Define Panorama - ✔✔The Panorama management server provides centralized monitoring and
management of multiple Palo Alto Networks (NGFWs) and Prisma Access deployments and of Wildfire
appliances and appliance clusters. The server provides a single location for overseeing all of the
applications, users, and content traversing the network and then, it uses this knowledge to create
application enablement policies that protect and control the network.
Panorama uses device groups and templates to group firewalls into logical sets that require similar
configuration. You can use the device groups and templates to manage all the configuration elements,
policies, and objects on the managed firewalls centrally. Panorama also enables you to manage licenses,
software (for example, PAN-OS software, SSL-VPN client software, GlobalProtect agent software), and
content updates (for example, application and threat, Wildfire, and antivirus updates) centrally.
1.1.4 PAN-OS subscriptions and the features they enable - ✔✔- security subscriptions
Security Subscriptions offered - ✔✔- threat prevention
- advanced url filtering
- wildfire
- dns security
