Palo Alto Networks System Engineer – SASE — Question 23

What is a benefit of deploying secure access service edge (SASE) with a secure web gateway (SWG) over a SASE solution without a SWG?

Answer options

• A. A heartbeat connection between the firewall peers ensures seamless failover in the event that a peer goes down.
• B. It prepares the keys and certificates required for decryption, creating decryption profiles and policies, and configuring decryption port mirroring.
• C. Protection is offered in the cloud through a unified platform for complete visibility and precise control over web access while enforcing security policies that protect users from hostile websites.
• D. It creates tunnels that allow users and systems to connect securely over a public network as if they were connecting over a local area network (LAN).

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, highlights that using SASE with SWG provides cloud-based protection and enhanced visibility and control over web access, which is crucial for enforcing security policies. Options A and B focus on specific technical features unrelated to the broader benefits of web access control, while D describes secure connections but does not emphasize the additional security features provided by SWG.
