NetSec-Architect Specialized Security Domains Practice Question
A security architect is configuring Prisma Access for mobile users to ensure that traffic destined for internal corporate applications is routed securely via a specific Remote Networks connection without exposing it to the public internet. Which configuration object must be used to achieve this?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Configure a Traffic Steering rule in Panorama under Cloud Services to steer private subnet traffic via Service Connections.
Explicit Proxy and Service Connections or Remote Networks routing tables via Prisma Access Panorama plugin handle routing of internal corporate traffic. Specifically, defining Traffic Steering rules ensures internal app traffic goes through Service Connections.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Apply an external dynamic list (EDL) of internal subnets to the decryption policy to bypass inspection.
Why it's wrong here
EDLs are for IP/URL blacklists or whitelists, not routing internal app traffic.
- ✓
Configure a Traffic Steering rule in Panorama under Cloud Services to steer private subnet traffic via Service Connections.
Why this is correct
Traffic Steering rules define how traffic from mobile users reaches corporate internal networks via Service Connections.
- ✗
Create an explicit proxy profile and push it to GlobalProtect clients via client setup settings.
Why it's wrong here
Explicit proxy is for web browsing inspection, not general routing of internal app traffic.
- ✗
Implement a Zone Protection profile on the mobile user security zone to encapsulate internal routing tags.
Why it's wrong here
Zone Protection defends against network-level floods and spoofing, not routing.
