Paloalto Networks SSE-Engineer - Palo Alto Networks Security Service Edge Engineer

By usingsecurity checks under posture settingsinStrata Cloud Manager (SCM), the senior engineer can enforcepolicy compliance standardsbyautomatically denyingany security policy that does notalign with best practices. This ensures that junior engineers can create policies while preventing configurations that might introduce security gaps. This proactive approacheliminates manual oversightand enforces compliance at the time of policy creation, reducing risk and ensuring consistent security enforcement.

When multitenancy is enabled in Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama), a key characteristic is the isolation of resources between tenants. Palo Alto Networks documentation emphasizes that each tenant operates within its own logically separate Prisma Access environment. This includes dedicated compute instances, ensuring that the performance and security of one tenant are not impacted by the activities of another.

Let's analyze why the other options are incorrect based on official documentation:

A. Service connection licenses will be assigned only to the first tenant, and these service connections can be shared with the other tenants. This statement is incorrect. In a multitenant Prisma Access deployment, licenses are typically managed and allocated per tenant. While the underlying infrastructure might be shared by Palo Alto Networks, the logical resources and often the licensing are segmented for each tenant. Sharing service connections across completely separate tenants would violate the principle of tenant isolation.  

B. A single tenant cannot consist solely of mobile users or solely of remote networks. This statement is incorrect. Prisma Access multitenancy allows for flexibility in how tenants are configured. A tenant can be designed to exclusively serve mobile users, exclusively connect remote networks, or a combination of both, depending on the organizational structure and requirements.  

D. There is flexibility to manage different tenants using separate Panoramas, which allows for better organization and management of the multiple tenants. While it is possible to have multiple Panorama instances managing different parts of a large infrastructure, when discussing multitenancy within a single Prisma Access instance (as implied by the question "enabling multitenancy in Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama))", all configured tenants are managed by that single Panorama instance. Managing different tenants with separate Panoramas is a different architectural consideration, not a defining characteristic of enabling multitenancy within one Prisma Access deployment managed by a specific Panorama.

Therefore, the defining characteristic of Prisma Access multitenancy (Managed by Panorama) is the allocation of dedicated Prisma Access instances and compute resources for each tenant, ensuring logical separation and resource isolation

TheSASE Health Dashboardprovides visibility intouser and group synchronizationbetween theCloud Identity Engine and the Security Processing Nodes (SPNs). It allows administrators to verifywhether a group from the Cloud Identity Engine is properly fetched and available on the SPN for policy enforcement. This feature helps in troubleshooting identity-based access control issues and ensures thatuser group mappings are correctly applied within Prisma Access.

Embargo rules inPrisma Accessare designed toblock traffic from specific countriesthat are subject to regulatory or policy-based restrictions. These rules help organizations enforce compliance bypreventing inbound and outbound connectionsto or from regions that may pose security risks or arerestricted due to legal or geopolitical reasons. They are commonly used toalign with government sanctions and corporate security policies.

When network routers appear multiple times with different IP addresses in IoT Security, it is likely because they have multiple interfaces with separate IPs. Merging these entries into a single device with multiple interfaces ensures that the system correctly identifies each router as a unique entity while maintaining visibility across all its interfaces. This approach prevents unnecessary duplicates, improves asset management, and enhances security monitoring.

When onboarding a new branch office to anexisting IPSec termination nodeinPrisma Access, theQoS bandwidth is not automatically assigned. Instead, the newly added branchremains unallocateduntil the administratormanually assigns bandwidthwithin theQoS configuration settings. This ensures thatcustomized bandwidth per siteremains intact and allows forfine-tuned traffic managementbased on business needs.

TheCommand CenterwithinStrata Cloud Manager (SCM)provides acentralized view of applications, threats, and user insightsacross bothNGFW (Next-Generation Firewall) and Prisma Accesssimultaneously. This feature enables theoperations teamto monitorbranch locations, analyzesecurity events, and detect anomalies in real time, offering acomprehensive visibility and threat intelligence interfacefor proactive network and security management.

When terminating aPartner Interconnect-based Colo-ConnectinPrisma Access, theCustomer Premises Equipment (CPE)must supportIPSecas the overlay protocol. Prisma Access establishes secureIPSec tunnelsbetween theColo-Connect infrastructure and the CPE, ensuringencrypted communicationand reliable connectivity.IPSecprovidessecure site-to-cloud integration, enabling customers to extend their private network securely over the Prisma Access infrastructure.

When configuringRemote Browser Isolation (RBI)inPrisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)for mobile users, aURL access management profilemust be created with thesite access action set to "Isolate". This profile is thenapplied to a Security policyto enforce isolation for specific URLs. This ensures thatweb traffic to designated high-risk or untrusted sitesisredirected to a remote, secure browser instance, protecting endpoints from potential web-based threats.
