Palo Alto Networks System Engineer – SASE — Question 5

Which connection method allows secure web gateway (SWG) access to internet-based SaaS applications using HTTP and HTTPS protocols?

Answer options

• A. GlobalProtect
• B. Broker VM
• C. explicit proxy
• D. system-wide proxy

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, explicit proxy, as it specifically facilitates secure connections to SaaS applications over HTTP and HTTPS. Options A (GlobalProtect) and B (Broker VM) serve different purposes, primarily focusing on VPN and virtualization, respectively, while D (system-wide proxy) may not provide the same level of granular control for web traffic as an explicit proxy does.
