Three of the 68 questions in this pack

Question 1

A customer is implementing Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager) to connect mobile users, branch locations, and business-to-business (B2B) partners to their data centers.

The solution must meet these requirements:

The mobile users must have internet filtering, data center connectivity, and remote site connectivity to the branch locations.

The branch locations must have internet filtering and data center connectivity.

The B2B partner connections must only have access to specific data center internally developed applications running on non-standard ports.

The security team must have access to manage the mobile user and access to branch locations.

The network team must have access to manage only the partner access.

How should Prisma Access be implemented to meet the customer requirements?

  1. Deploy two Prisma Access instances - the first with mobile users, remote networks, and private access for all internal connection types, and the second with remote networks and private application access for B2B connections - and use the Strata Multitenant Cloud Manager Prisma Access configuration scope to manage access.
  2. Deploy a Prisma Access instance with mobile users, remote networks, and private access for all connection types, and use the Prisma Access Configuration scope to manage all access.
  3. Deploy two Prisma Access instances - the first with mobile users, remote networks, and private access for all internal connection types, and the second with remote networks and private application access for B2B connections - and use the specific configuration scope for the connection type to manage access.
  4. Deploy a Prisma Access instance with mobile users, remote networks, and private access for all connection types, and use the specific configuration scope for the connection type to manage access.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. Deploy a Prisma Access instance with mobile users, remote networks, and private access for all connection types, and use the specific configuration scope for the connection type to manage access.

remote networks, and private access for all connection types, and use the specific configuration scope for the connection type to manage access. A single Prisma Access instance can support all three connection types (mobile users, remote networks, and private access) simultaneously. Using specific configuration scopes for each connection type allows granular access control, enabling the security team to manage mobile users and remote networks while the network team manages only partner access through private application access scopes. This meets all requirements with one deployment rather than unnecessarily splitting into two instances.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Deploying two instances is unnecessary when one instance with properly configured scopes can meet all requirements.
  • B. The Prisma Access Configuration scope is too broad and does not provide the granular access control needed to separate security team and network team permissions.
  • C. Deploying two instances adds complexity and operational overhead that is not required by the stated requirements.

Question 2

A customer is implementing Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager) to connect mobile users, branch locations, and business-to-business (B2B) partners to their data centers.

The solution must meet these requirements:

The mobile users must have internet filtering, data center connectivity, and remote site connectivity to the branch locations.

The branch locations must have internet filtering and data center connectivity.

The B2B partner connections must only have access to specific data center internally developed applications running on non-standard ports.

The security team must have access to manage the mobile user and access to branch locations.

The network team must have access to manage only the partner access.

How can the engineer configure mobile users and branch locations to meet the requirements?

  1. Use GlobalProtect and Remote Networks to filter internet traffic and provide access to data center resources using service connections.
  2. Use Explicit Proxy to filter internet traffic and provide access to data center resources using service connections.
  3. Use GlobalProtect to filter internet traffic and provide access to data center resources using service connections.
  4. Use Explicit Proxy and Remote Networks to filter internet traffic and provide access to data center resources using service connections.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. Use GlobalProtect and Remote Networks to filter internet traffic and provide access to data center resources using service connections.

internet traffic and provide access to data center resources using service connections. GlobalProtect is the appropriate technology for mobile users requiring internet filtering and data center connectivity. Remote Networks is the appropriate technology for branch locations (static sites) requiring the same capabilities. Together, they provide internet filtering via Prisma Access and data center connectivity through service connections. Explicit Proxy is not needed since GlobalProtect and Remote Networks provide the required functionality.

Why the other options are wrong

  • B. Explicit Proxy is used for traffic inspection and filtering but does not provide the site- to-site connectivity required for branch locations.
  • C. GlobalProtect alone does not support branch location connectivity; Remote Networks is required for static branch site connectivity.
  • D. Explicit Proxy is not needed when GlobalProtect and Remote Networks together provide all required capabilities.

Question 3

A customer is implementing Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager) to connect mobile users, branch locations, and business-to-business (B2B) partners to their data centers.

The solution must meet these requirements:

The mobile users must have internet filtering, data center connectivity, and remote site connectivity to the branch locations.

The branch locations must have internet filtering and data center connectivity.

The B2B partner connections must only have access to specific data center internally developed applications running on non-standard ports.

The security team must have access to manage the mobile user and access to branch locations.

The network team must have access to manage only the partner access.

Which two options will allow the engineer to support the requirements? (Choose two.)

  1. Configure the CPE with Static Routes pointing to Prisma Access Infrastructure and Mobile User routes.
  2. Enable eBGP for dynamic routing and configure RemoteNetworks.
  3. Configure Remote Networks and define the branch IP subnets using Static Routes.
  4. Enable Remote Networks Advertise Default Route.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: B, C

B. Enable eBGP for dynamic routing and configure RemoteNetworks. C. Configure Remote Networks and define the branch IP subnets using Static Routes. Remote Networks with eBGP enables dynamic routing for branch locations, allowing automatic route updates as network topology changes. This is more scalable than static routes. Alternatively, Remote Networks with Static Routes explicitly defining branch IP subnets provides a simpler, deterministic approach for customers who prefer manual control. Both options leverage Remote Networks to establish the site-to-site connectivity required. eBGP provides automation while Static Routes provides manual control, both are valid architectural choices.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. Configuring static routes on the CPE alone does not establish the managed site-to- site connectivity provided by Remote Networks.
  • D. Enabling Advertise Default Route on Remote Networks is used for internet egress scenarios, not for establishing branch-to-data-center connectivity.

What makes the SSE Engineer hard

This is the Prisma Access exam, and the March 2026 datasheet changed its shape. For the first time a Palo Alto Networks blueprint gives Prisma Browser a domain of its own, worth more than a fifth of the marks. Anyone who learned Prisma Access before the Talon acquisition became Prisma Browser has never studied that material.

Three domains carry 22% each. Planning and deployment covers security processing nodes, compute locations, IP addressing and DNS, routing preference and traffic steering, mobile users through the VPN client and explicit proxy, remote networks, private app access through service connections, Colo-Connect and the ZTNA Connector, and identity through Cloud Identity Engine with SAML, Kerberos, certificates, LDAP and RADIUS. Services covers App Acceleration, traffic replication, IoT Security, Remote Browser Isolation, SaaS Security, Enterprise DLP and AI Access Security, plus security, decryption and QoS profiles. Prisma Browser covers deployment for public and private apps, the browser extension, and security, decryption and DLP policy inside the browser.

The remaining marks test running the service. Administration (16%) puts Panorama and Strata Cloud Manager side by side: multitenancy, RBAC, configuration versioning, reporting, upgrades, Copilot, Strata Logging Service and Best Practice Assessment. Troubleshooting (18%) covers connectivity for mobile users, remote networks, service connections and ZTNA connectors, performance and latency, and enforcement problems caused by HIP, User-ID mismatch and split tunnelling.
