Palo Alto Networks PSE-SoftwareFirewall Exam Questions
- Topic 1: Software Firewall Fundamentals: This domain covers a variety of software firewall types, such as subscriptions to Cloud-Delivered Security Services, cloud next-generation firewalls, and VM-Series and CN-Series firewalls. It also looks at other licencing choices such pay-as-you-go, Enterprise Licence Agreement subscriptions, and Flex licencing.
- Topic 2: Securing Environments with Software Firewalls: This section focuses on methodologies for securing data centers, including segmentation, virtualization, application visibility and control, and VPN connectivity controls.
- Topic 3: Deployment Architecture: This domain looks at popular centralised and distributed VM-Series deployment types and describes how to use VM-Series firewalls in centralised and distributed environments, particularly for high availability scenarios and Google Cloud Platform deployments.
- Topic 4: Automation and Orchestration: This section covers software firewall management tools like Panorama, Helm charts, and cloud-specific interfaces. It also describes automation tools such as Ansible, Terraform, and AWS CloudFormation templates.

How are CN-Series firewalls licensed?
Data-plane vCPU Licensing:
The CN-Series firewalls are licensed based on the number of data-plane vCPUs. This licensing model reflects the processing power dedicated to handling traffic and security enforcement within the containerized environment.
Palo Alto Networks CN-Series Licensing Guide
What are two environments supported by the CN-Series firewall? (Choose two.)
OpenShift:
The CN-Series firewall supports deployment in Red Hat OpenShift environments. OpenShift is a Kubernetes-based container platform that provides a comprehensive solution for container orchestration.

Native K8:
The CN-Series firewall is designed to be deployed in native Kubernetes (K8s) environments, providing security for containerized applications running within the Kubernetes clusters.

Which two features of CN-Series firewalls protect east-west traffic between pods in different trust zones? (Choose two.)
Intrusion Prevention System (IPS): The CN-Series firewalls incorporate an Intrusion Prevention System to detect and prevent exploits and attacks on applications and systems. This feature is essential for securing east-west traffic, as it can identify and block threats within the data center traffic between pods in different trust zones.
Layer 7 Visibility: CN-Series firewalls provide Layer 7 (application layer) visibility, enabling deep inspection of application traffic. This allows the firewall to understand and enforce policies based on the application and its behavior, rather than just ports and protocols, ensuring comprehensive security for east-west traffic within a Kubernetes environment.

Which two steps are involved in deployment of a VM-Series firewall on NSX? (Choose two.)
This step involves setting up a connection between Panorama (the centralized management platform for Palo Alto Networks firewalls) and the VMware NSX Manager. This communication is essential for managing and orchestrating the VM-Series firewalls within the NSX environment.
Palo Alto Networks VMware NSX Integration Guide
Register the VM-Series firewall as a service:
Registering the VM-Series firewall as a service in the NSX Manager is crucial for the firewall to be recognized and managed within the NSX environment. This step allows the firewall to be deployed and configured as part of the NSX service chaining.

Auto scaling templates for which type of firewall enable deployment of a single auto scaling group (ASG) of VM-Series firewalls to secure inbound traffic from the internet to Amazon Web Services (AWS) application workloads?
VM-Series Auto Scaling:
The VM-Series firewalls are designed to integrate with cloud environments like AWS and support auto-scaling. This allows for the deployment of a single auto-scaling group (ASG) of VM-Series firewalls to secure inbound traffic from the internet to AWS application workloads.
