Question #1
What is the key benefit of Palo Alto Networks Single Pass Parallel Processing design?
- AThere are no benefits other than slight performance upgrades
- BIt allows Palo Alto Networks to add new functions to existing hardwareMost Voted
- COnly one processor is needed to complete all the functions within the box
- DIt allows Palo Alto Networks to add new devices to existing hardware
Correct Answer:
C
C

The correct understanding here pertains to how the Single Pass Parallel Processing architecture operates. Despite the given answer suggesting that only one processor is required, this isn't accurate. The architecture indeed utilizes multiple processors, each dedicated to different functions to efficiently and simultaneously process data. This setup doesn't confine all functionalities to a single processor but leverages multiple processors to handle various tasks concurrently, enhancing overall processing efficiency and speed. It's essential to correct this misconception for a clearer insight into the design's capabilities.

Question #4
A customer is looking for an analytics tool that uses the logs on the firewall to detect actionable events on the network. They require something to automatically process a series of related threat events that, when combined, indicate a likely compromised host on their network or some other higher level conclusion. They need to pinpoint the area of risk, such as compromised hosts on the network, allows you to assess the risk and take action to prevent exploitation of network resources.

Question #5
Which two email links, contained in SMTP and POP3, can be submitted from WildFire analysis with a WildFire subscription? (Choose two.)
- AFTP
- BHTTPS
- CRTP
- DHTTP
Correct Answer:
BD
BD

HTTPS and HTTP links can indeed be submitted for WildFire analysis. WildFire analyzes links found within SMTP and POP3 emails, focused notably on these protocols because they are common in web browsing and capable of delivering malicious payloads through typical user interactions. This makes them crucial in identifying potential threats in email traffic.
