A global organization is in the process of securing critical applications during a cloud-based migration while migrating to a cloud-first design, and it is currently performing a brownfield migration of its most critical applications - such as CRM and product intellectual property / design systems - into Azure Cloud. The organization already has an active/passive high availability (HA) NGFW deployed at its data center with multiple zones and has replicated that design into its existing Azure HA deployment.
The organization recognizes the need to modernize its security posture as critical workloads move out of the data center and users connect from anywhere. Its security model is defined by a traditional "hard shell, soft center" approach:
Zero Trust Gaps
- Current network segmentation is perimeter-based. The organization wants to expand Zero Trust principles across cloud and on-premises environments.
- The network relies heavily on VLANs and IP address-based Access Control Lists (ACLs) segmented primarily by office location and broad departmental groups.
- Once employees are on the corporate network (i.e., inside the "perimeter"), they have relatively wide access.
- If attackers compromise a single endpoint (e.g., via a phishing email), they can easily move laterally and scan for high-value targets.
Cloud Blind Spots
- The organization uses Azure for its production environments and hosts applications that contain sensitive customer data.
- Security controls in the cloud are often managed independently of the on-premises network.
Access is frequently granted with overly permissive identity and access management (IAM) roles and keys based on the resource rather than the user's real-time context or application health.
Remote User Access
- Many remote users are still hairpinning into the corporate data center just to reach internet or SaaS resources, creating latency and inefficiency.
- Traditional VPN is used for remote employees.
- The VPN grants access to the entire internal network segment making the remote endpoint the new, weaker perimeter. There is no continuous check on the user's device health after the initial connection.
Visibility and Logging
- Logs are primarily stored on-premises, then forwarded to a local Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution. As applications move to Azure, visibility into cloud traffic and user behavior becomes fragmented.
Data Security Concern
- Sensitive data, including product design files, will now live in SaaS and cloud environments. The organization needs data security to prevent leakage and enforce compliance.
Ingress Security
- Third-party partners and suppliers require access into the data center and cloud applications, introducing risk at ingress points.
The current Microsoft Azure NGFW architecture will not support the increased traffic with the new applications being migrated.
Which architectural solution will provide scalable inspection?

• A. Maintain the Azure active/passive design and use Azure scale sets to vertically scale the firewall size to handle all current and anticipated future east-west traffic.
• B. Keep the active/passive firewall only for north-south traffic and rely entirely on Azure Network Security Groups (NSGs) for east-west traffic inspection.
• C. Migrate to a load balancer-based autoscaling firewall cluster that uses User-Defined Routes (UDRs) to traffic to multiple concurrent firewall instances for inspection.
• D. Decommission the firewall pair and use a multi-region deployment of Azure VPN gateways to manage VNet-to-VNet connections.

An organization wants to modernize its legacy branch architecture. The existing architecture is rigid, complex, and ill-suited for a cloud-first strategy, creating high operational costs and latency.
- The four core data centers are strategically located in Dallas, Toronto, London and Tokyo, and they are interconnected by a dedicated MPLS backbone providing reliable connectivity but incurring significant costs and offering limited bandwidth scalability.
- Branches rely on MPLS or site-to-site VPN to connect to the nearest geographical data center.
- All internet-bound traffic from the branches is backhauled to the data center egress firewalls.
This creates latency for SaaS applications and increases bandwidth strain on the MPLS links.
The organization requires a proposal for a new WAN architecture for branch connectivity with the goal of improving security posture and SaaS application access as well as supporting local internet breakout for all branch devices, including IoT.
Which two implementations will achieve the goal of modernizing the branch architecture?
(Choose two.)

• A. SD-WAN using on-premises NGFWs for Direct Internet Access (DIA)
• B. SSE with Prisma Access for mobile users and service connections
• C. SASE with Prisma Access for remote networks and service connections
• D. NGFW at each branch with Large Scale VPN (LSVPN) for data center access and Direct Internet Access (DIA)

A multinational organization has a large worldwide remote user base. This user base consists of several persona types with distinct requirements and concerns regarding the adoption of a Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) solution.
- Developers have a requirement to temporarily bypass security controls for business purposes, but the security team sees this as a potential risk. The developers commonly access development servers onsite in private data centers and public cloud. These development applications use web (HTTP/HTTPS), API, RPC, and SMB-based applications.
- Sales staff travel regularly and connect to the network via many different types of connections, but they are generally limited to SaaS-based web applications. They often complain about performance when any agent is installed and want the ability to temporarily disable these agents.
Data exfiltration and insider risk have been identified as the primary threats for this class of user.
- Executives have concerns about being high-value targets. Security must be consistent across the multiple endpoint types, including mobile and desktop devices. The executive team members have indicated that their primary objective is to ensure that the solution is responsive and easy to troubleshoot.
Which two solutions will help mitigate the risk to the sales staff? (Choose two.)

• A. GlobalProtect in hybrid mode to provide explicit proxy-based secure web gateway (SWG) protection even when the tunnel is disconnected
• B. Network enforcement feature on GlobalProtect to restrict access to high-risk URL categories
• C. Forwarding profiles in Prisma Access Agent with end users granted route control access to bypass specific domains without disabling the agent
• D. Endpoint DLP on Prisma Access Agent to ensure organization data is not exfiltrated
