Prisma Certified Cloud Security Engineer (PCCSE) — Question 130

A customer has a development environment with 50 connected Defenders. A maintenance window is set for Monday to upgrade 30 stand-alone Defenders in the development environment, but there is no maintenance window available until Sunday to upgrade the remaining 20 stand-alone Defenders.
Which recommended action manages this situation?

Answer options

• A. Go to Manage > Defender > Manage, then click Defenders, and use the Scheduler to choose which Defenders will be automatically upgraded during the maintenance window.
• B. Find a maintenance window that is suitable to upgrade all stand-alone Defenders in the development environment.
• C. Upgrade a subset of the Defenders by clicking the individual Actions > Upgrade button in the row that corresponds to the Defender that should be upgraded during the maintenance window.
• D. Open a support case with Palo Alto Networks to arrange an automatic upgrade.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because using the Scheduler allows for the automated management of Defender upgrades during the available maintenance window. Option B is not feasible as the customer has already identified that the next maintenance window is not until Sunday. Option C, while possible, is not as efficient as scheduling the upgrades in bulk, and option D does not address the immediate need for managing upgrades within the set maintenance windows.
