Palo Alto Networks NGFW Engineer — Question 27

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 environments
Scale to the demands of the applications while using the least amount of compute resources
Allow the company to unify the Security policies across all protected areas
Which two implementations will meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Deploy a VM-Series firewall in AWS in each VPC, create an IPSec tunnel between AWS and Azure, and manage the policy with Panorama.
• B. Deploy Cloud NGFW for Azure in vNET/s, update the vNET/s routing to path traffic through the deployed NGFWs, and manage the policy with Panorama.
• C. Deploy Cloud NGFW for Azure in vWAN, create a vWAN to route all appropriate traffic to the Cloud NGFW attached to the vWAN, and manage the policy with local rules.
• D. Deploy Cloud NGFW for AWS in a centralized Security VPC, update the Transit Gateway to route all appropriate traffic through the Security VPC, and manage the policy with Panorama.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct as it allows for minimal changes to the Azure environment while routing traffic through the deployed NGFWs and managing the policies with Panorama. Option D is also correct because it centralizes security management in AWS while efficiently routing traffic through the Security VPC. Options A and C do not meet the requirement of minimizing changes and unifying security policies as effectively as B and D do.
