D is just silly. Who would want to decrypt traffic multiple times? Clearly A and B.

I'm a bit confused about option D; I thought the point was to decrypt traffic only once to improve efficiency.

I feel like there was a question similar to this in our practice exam, and it emphasized offloading decryption to the NGFW.

I remember studying that it reduces the number of third-party devices, so I think option B might be correct.

I think the decryption broker is supposed to simplify SSL decryption, but I'm not sure if it decrypts traffic just once or multiple times.

I think I've got it! A and B describe the key benefits of the decryption broker, so those are the two correct answers.

I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll need to review the decryption broker functionality more carefully before making a decision.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between A and D. Aren't they both talking about offloading SSL decryption to the Palo Alto firewall?

I think the key here is to focus on the decryption broker functionality. A and B seem to describe the benefits, while C and D are more about the number of third-party devices.
