Question 1
How are Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) deployed within a Cisco ACI architecture?
Answer : C
Within a Cisco ACI architecture, Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) are deployed using service graphs. Service graphs in Cisco ACI define the sequence of network services that traffic must pass through. By configuring service graphs, administrators can seamlessly integrate Palo Alto Networks firewalls into the fabric to inspect and secure traffic flows.

Question 4
Which technology allows for granular control of east-west traffic in a software-defined network?
Answer : A
Microsegmentation is a security technique that enables granular control of east-west traffic within a software-defined network. By dividing the network into smaller segments, each with its own security policies, microsegmentation allows for detailed control over communication between workloads, thereby reducing the attack surface and preventing lateral movement of threats within the network.
Which two features of CN-Series firewalls protect east-west traffic between pods in different trust zones? (Choose two.)
Answer : A, D
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 software firewall would assist a prospect who is interested in securing extensive DevOps deployments?
Answer : B
CN-Series for DevOps deployments:
The CN-Series firewall is specifically designed to secure containerized environments and is ideal for protecting extensive DevOps deployments. It integrates seamlessly with Kubernetes and other container orchestration platforms, providing the necessary security controls for DevOps processes.
