A large organization uses Palo Alto Networks VM-Series firewalls deployed across multiple availability zones in Microsoft Azure. These are managed by an Azure Virtual Machine Scale Set (VMSS) and integrated with an Azure Load Balancer for high availability (HA) traffic inspection within a Transit VNet.
The security team needs to perform a critical PAN-OS software upgrade across the entire fleet of firewalls with the requirement of minimal application downtime.
Following Palo Alto Networks best practices for highly available cloud deployments, what is the recommended approach for safely performing this software upgrade with the least downtime?

• A. Update the image in an Azure VMSS and then initiate an upgrade of the instances
• B. Provision a new, parallel VMSS with the new PAN-OS version, validate it, and redirect traffic from the old VMSS to the new one
• C. Use Azure Update Manager to push the PAN-OS upgrade package directly to all firewall instances simultaneously during a scheduled maintenance window
• D. Configure Azure Load Balancer probes to handle the health check failover during upgrades

An architect is reviewing a use case with the following requirements:
- Visibility on the health of an end user's path for the five most
critical applications
- Metrics on the impact of endpoint health for application
- Centralized call quality analytics from Zoom video conferencing
solution
- Insights into the supporting protocols, such as DNS
- Support 600 users on Windows desktops in a single sales office
Which solution should be recommended to meet these requirements?

• A. Remote networks with ADEM enabled and an ION device
• B. GlobalProtect with a Prisma Access portal configured and ADEM enabled
• C. Prisma SD-WAN using the native application dashboard and link quality monitoring
• D. Prisma Browser or the Prisma Browser extension with RUM metrics

Which custom component can mitigate the risk associated with an organization's sales staff filling out a customer intake PDF form that contains corporate confidential information?

• A. Document type using trainable classifiers applied using a profile
• B. Threat signature blocking the file based on a hash of the PDF
• C. File blocking rule unique matching header or byte-code of the PDF
• D. App-ID matching distinct components of the PDF applied using a security rule

An organization has a directive to adopt a Zero Trust framework focused on using identity and role-based access groups, device security and content inspection across all Security policies. To achieve this goal, an Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) was purchased, including Advanced Threat Prevention, IoT Security, and GlobalProtect.
The current security architecture uses Panorama to manage 60 NGFWs - a mix of PA-3240, PA-1410, and PA-440. Sites with PA-3240s host private application resources in the trust data center zone All sites have an untrust zone for internet access and a users zone for managed and unmanaged endpoint devices. A transit mesh zone exists to establish site-to-site connectivity through PAN-OS SD-WAN.
Privately hosted applications include web servers, SMB and NFS file servers and hosted Active Directory. The organization is in the process of adopting group mapping restrictions to these private applications, with daily additions of groups. It is also planning to build AI applications to assist the data teams with complex queries that will be hosted in the large offices containing data centers and is exploring hosting in the public cloud.
The organization uses on-premises Exchange, Dropbox, Zoom, and ChatGPT. There are a number of shadow SaaS applications that require further investigation. Users have been using Google Drive to upload confidential files within the organization by using their personal logins.
IoT devices on the network are associated on their own VLAN on the users zone. Using Device Security, all IoT devices have been categorized by asset profiles with medium or high confidence, policy sets imported into Panorama, and a default deny applied to the IoT networks.
The organization has rolled out SSL decryption and is using URL categorization for the majority of content filtering. Malicious categories, unknown and high-risk websites are blocked, with the remainder of sites set to alert.
Which action should the architect recommend to restrict the confidential file exfiltration present in the organization's environment using existing technology?

• A. Using Enterprise DLP, create custom data patterns notifying confidential data, and block the custom data pattern from being uploaded
• B. In Prisma Browser create an access security rule and a data security rule preventing file-upload unsanctioned file-sharing applications
• C. Using SaaS Security, enable tenant restrictions, preventing personal logins from using unsanctioned applications
• D. Using App-ID, create a policy denying google- drive-web-upload
