Medium22Which TWO functions are performed by the Cloud Identity Engine (CIE) within a Unified SASE environment?
Medium23Which TWO types of traffic are typically steered to Prisma Access in a Unified SASE architecture?
Medium24You are monitoring traffic in a Unified SASE environment. You notice that traffic from a branch is taking a non-optimal path to Prisma Access. Which tool would you use to verify the path selection logic?
Medium25When onboarding a new branch site into a Unified SASE environment, what is the prerequisite for the branch ION device to establish a tunnel to Prisma Access?
Easy26An administrator wants to ensure that all traffic from a specific branch is routed to Prisma Access, but bypasses the Cloud SWG for specific trusted SaaS applications. How is this achieved?
Medium27Which THREE items must be configured to ensure that traffic is correctly routed through a Service Connection for security inspection?
Hard28A network administrator is configuring Prisma SD-WAN to integrate with Prisma Access using the Automated Service Connection. During the onboarding process, which specific parameter must be configured in the ION device's service route to ensure traffic is correctly steered to the Prisma Access Service Infrastructure?
Medium29An engineer is troubleshooting a scenario where users at a branch office cannot access SaaS applications via Prisma Access. The SD-WAN path is active, but the traffic is not reaching the Cloud SWG. What is the most likely cause related to the Unified SASE policy?
Medium30Which component in the Unified SASE stack is responsible for enforcing URL filtering and threat prevention policies for remote users?
Easy31Which THREE parameters are essential when troubleshooting a Service Connection tunnel status?
Hard32An engineer notices that some traffic is not being optimized by the Prisma SD-WAN fabric. Upon inspection, the traffic is bypassing the SD-WAN tunnels. What is the most likely cause?
Hard33What is the primary function of the 'Cloud Identity Engine' in the Unified SASE architecture?
Easy34How are security logs from Prisma Access and Prisma SD-WAN correlated in a Unified SASE environment?
Medium35Which protocol is primarily used for the tunnel between the ION device and the Prisma Access Service Infrastructure?

Which configuration step is required to ensure that user identity information is successfully propagated from the enterprise directory to the Prisma Access security nodes?
Hard37Which THREE components are involved in the process of applying a user-based policy in a Unified SASE architecture?
Hard38Which THREE items are required to successfully deploy a new branch ION device with zero-touch provisioning for a Unified SASE environment?
Hard39An administrator wants to limit the bandwidth used by a specific application when routed to Prisma Access. Where is this configured?
