Palo Alto Networks System Engineer – Cortex — Question 18

A customer wants the main Cortex XSOAR server installed in one site and wants to integrate with three other technologies in a second site.
What communications are required between the two sites if the customer wants to install a Cortex XSOAR engine in the second site?

Answer options

• A. The Cortex XSOAR server at the first site must be able to initiate a connection to the Cortex XSOAR engine at the second site.
• B. All connectivity is initiated from the Cortex XSOAR server on the first site via a managed cloud proxy.
• C. Dedicated site-to-site virtual private network (VPN) is required for the Cortex XSOAR server at the first site to initiate a connection to the Cortex XSOAR engine at the second site.
• D. The Cortex XSOAR engine at the first site must be able to initiate a connection to the Cortex XSOAR server at the second site.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the Cortex XSOAR server needs to initiate the connection to the engine at the second site to enable proper integration and communication. Options B and C suggest other types of connectivity that are not necessary for this scenario. Option D is incorrect as it reverses the required connection direction.
