Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
GlobalProtect client in transparent tunnel mode forwarding traffic to Prisma Access SWG
Why this is correct
Transparent forwarding via the GlobalProtect client routes all traffic securely to Prisma Access SWG without requiring client-side proxy settings.
- ✗
GRE tunnel forwarding from local ISP routers
Why it's wrong here
GRE tunnels are used for Remote Networks branch connections, not individual mobile client transparent SWG deployment.
- ✗
Static NAT configuration on the branch office gateway
Why it's wrong here
Static NAT translates IP addresses for site connectivity, not mobile user SWG transparent interception.
- ✗
GlobalProtect client in explicit proxy mode
Why it's wrong here
Explicit proxy mode requires manual or PAC-file-based browser configuration, which contradicts transparent interception.
