Panorama for centralized template and device group policy administration
Panorama provides centralized management and policy orchestration, while Cloud/Remote Networks and Mobile Users represent the architecture types managed within Prisma Access.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Local command-line interface (CLI) scripts executed independently on each compute location
Why it's wrong here
Zero Trust management at scale avoids manual CLI management in favor of centralized orchestrators like Panorama.
- ✓
Panorama for centralized template and device group policy administration
Why this is correct
Panorama is required for unified configuration management across all Prisma Access remote networks and mobile user deployments.
- ✗
Disabling Panorama cloud services plugin in favor of legacy SNMP polling
Why it's wrong here
The Panorama cloud services plugin is mandatory for managing Prisma Access, whereas SNMP polling is outdated for modern cloud-delivered security.
- ✓
Prisma Access Remote Networks and Mobile Users locations configured via Panorama
Why this is correct
These are the core connection types managed centrally in Prisma Access to secure both branch offices and traveling workers.
- ✗
Local standalone DNS servers deployed at every branch office without any central integration
Why it's wrong here
Standalone decentralized DNS does not support centralized Zero Trust visibility or uniform policy application.
