Question #: 5
Topic #: 2

Which statement applies when identifying the appropriate Palo Alto Networks firewall platform for virtualized as well as cloud environments?

AVM-Series firewalls cannot be used to protect container environments.

BAll NGFW platforms support API integration.

CPanorama is the only unified management console for all NGFWs.

DCN-Series firewalls are used to protect virtualized environments.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

A . VM-Series firewalls cannot be used to protect container environments: This is incorrect. While CN-Series is specifically designed for container environments, VM-Series can also be used in certain container deployments, often in conjunction with other container networking solutions. For example, VM-Series can be deployed as a gateway for a Kubernetes cluster.

B . All NGFW platforms support API integration: This is correct. Palo Alto Networks firewalls, including PA-Series (hardware), VM-Series (virtualized), CN-Series (containerized), and Cloud NGFW, offer robust API support for automation, integration with other systems, and programmatic management. This is a core feature of their platform approach.

C . Panorama is the only unified management console for all NGFWs: This is incorrect. While Panorama is a powerful centralized management platform, it's not the only option. Individual firewalls can be managed locally via their web interface or CLI. Additionally, Cloud NGFW has its own management interface within the cloud provider's console.

D. CN-Series firewalls are used to protect virtualized environments: This is incorrect. CN-Series is specifically designed for containerized environments (e.g., Kubernetes, OpenShift), not general virtualized environments. VM-Series is the appropriate choice for virtualized environments (e.g., VMware vSphere, AWS EC2).

Wait, is Panorama really the only management console? That seems off.
