Exam NetSec-Architect Topic 1 Question 7 Discussion

Actual exam question for Palo Alto Networks's NetSec-Architect exam
Question #: 7
Topic #: 1
An organization is in the process of building a network infrastructure that is cloud first. Part of the revised architecture includes Prisma Access as demonstrated in the diagram below. The organization has selected Strata Cloud Manager (SCM) as the management method for Prisma Access and NGFWs deployed at the data center and in public cloud environments. There are 150 NGFWs in place that are used to terminate service connections and segment networks as well as to secure the data center and public cloud resources.

One of the resilience requirements is to provide highly available directory services and authentication for the NGFW and Prisma Access deployment.
Which two configurations meet the design and customer requirements in this scenario? (Choose two.)

Suggested Answer: C,D Vote an answer

Cloud Identity Engine connected to Entra ID provides centralized, highly available directory services for both NGFWs and Prisma Access, which aligns with a cloud-first design and Strata Cloud Manager-based operations.
SAML authentication provides resilient, modern identity-based authentication for Prisma Access mobile users and integrates well with cloud identity providers, supporting the requirement for highly available authentication across the environment.
