Question 1 of 121

To maintain security efficacy of its public cloud resources by using native tools, a company purchases Cloud NGFW credits to replicate the Panorama, PA-Series, and VM-Series devices used in physical data centers. Resources exist on AWS and Azure:

The AWS deployment is architected with AWS Transit Gateway, to which all resources connect

The Azure deployment is architected with each application independently routing traffic

The engineer deploying Cloud NGFW in these two cloud environments must account for the following:

Minimize changes to the two cloud environmentsScale to the demands of the applications while using the least amount of compute resourcesAllow the company to unify the Security policies across all protected areasWhich two implementations will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answers: B, D

Cloud NGFW for Azure can be deployed in the required vNETs, with route tables updated so application traffic passes through the firewalls. This fits Azure’s independently routed application design while allowing Panorama to centrally manage consistent security policy. In AWS, a centralized Security VPC connected through Transit Gateway lets Cloud NGFW inspect traffic for multiple VPCs without deploying a firewall per VPC. This minimizes compute use and infrastructure changes while Panorama unifies policy across both clouds.

Question 2 of 121

During an upgrade to the routing infrastructure in a customer environment, the network administrator wants to implement Advanced Routing Engine (ARE) on a Palo Alto Networks firewall.

Which firewall models support this configuration?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: A

PA-5280, PA-7080, PA-3250, and VM-Series firewalls support the Advanced Routing Engine. ARE provides enhanced routing capabilities and a more scalable routing architecture for environments that require advanced dynamic-routing features. Support depends on the firewall platform and PAN-OS compatibility, so it is not available on every PA-Series, VM-Series, or containerized model. The other groups include models that do not support ARE for this configuration.

Question 3 of 121

Which two statements apply to configuring required security rules when setting up an IPSec tunnel between a Palo Alto Networks firewall and a third- party gateway? (Choose two.)

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answers: A, B

Separate security rules for each direction of tunneled user traffic are optional because a single rule can match both directions when the source and destination zones, addresses, and applications are configured appropriately. IKE negotiation and IPsec ESP packets are typically handled within the same zone context and are permitted by the intrazone default allow rule unless an explicit policy overrides that behavior. Separate directional rules are only needed when different controls are required for each traffic flow.

Question 4 of 121

Which statement describes the role of Terraform in deploying Palo Alto Networks NGFWs?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: C

Terraform provides Infrastructure-as-Code to define and automate the deployment of Palo Alto Networks NGFW resources. It uses declarative configuration files to create and manage firewall instances, networking components, and related cloud infrastructure consistently and repeatably. It does not perform traffic inspection, collect firewall performance logs, or synchronize threat intelligence data; those functions are handled by the NGFW and associated security management services.

Question 5 of 121

By default, which type of traffic is configured by service route configuration to use the management interface?

Answer choices
Show answer

Correct answer: D

Autonomous Digital Experience Manager (ADEM) traffic is configured by default to use the management interface through service route settings. Service routes determine which interface the firewall uses for specific management-plane services rather than relying on security zones, VSYS configuration, or IPSec tunnel forwarding. This allows ADEM connectivity to remain separated from dataplane traffic and follow the firewall’s management network path.

Stories from the certified

Charles Sirois
Canada
As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.
Lance Chambers
United States
Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.
Alisha Kelly
Italy
Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.
Casper Claassen
Netherlands
Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.
Gabriele Ghesla
Italy
The content is accurate and clearly presented, and it's more affordable than competitors. The team has been incredibly responsive whenever I've had an issue, and they've been open to small changes that improve the platform.
