Palo Alto Networks NetSec-Pro Exam - Topic 2 Question 9 Discussion

Actual exam question for Palo Alto Networks's NetSec-Pro exam
Question #: 9
Topic #: 2
[All NetSec-Pro Questions]

A network security engineer needs to implement segmentation but is under strict compliance requirements to place security enforcement as close as possible to the private applications hosted in Azure. Which deployment style is valid and meets the requirements in this scenario?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

In cloud environments like Azure, the VM-Series NGFW is deployed to create Layer 3 segmentation zones closest to the application workloads.

''In Azure, deploy VM-Series firewalls in Layer 3 mode to enforce security policies closest to private applications, meeting strict compliance and segmentation requirements.''

(Source: VM-Series in Public Clouds)

Layer 3 segmentation ensures security policies are enforced at the right boundary to isolate traffic within Azure's virtual networks.

I feel like the VM-Series NGFW is the right choice here, but I’m a bit confused about whether Layer 2 or Layer 3 is more compliant with security requirements.

I think we practiced a similar question, and I recall that using Layer 3 might be more common for segmentation, but I can't remember the specifics.

I remember something about Layer 2 and Layer 3 zones, but I'm not sure which one is better for segmentation in Azure.

I've got this! The question is asking for a valid deployment style that meets the compliance requirements, so I'm going to go with option A - configuring Layer 2 zones on a VM-Series NGFW.

Okay, the key here is that the security enforcement needs to be as close as possible to the private applications in Azure. I think that rules out the Layer 3 options and points me towards the Layer 2 solutions.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between Layer 2 and Layer 3 zones. I'll need to review that concept before deciding on the answer.

This seems like a straightforward question about network segmentation. I'll need to carefully read through the options and think about which one best meets the requirements.

Option C looks good to me. Segmenting the network using Layer 3 zones on a VM-Series NGFW seems like the way to go to meet the compliance requirements.

I agree, using Layer 3 zones with Layer 3 interfaces would provide the necessary security enforcement close to the private applications.
