NetSec-Architect Specialized Security Domains Practice Question
A security architect is configuring branch networking with Prisma SD-WAN and needs to ensure that mission-critical voice traffic is prioritized over bulk file transfers during network congestion. Which feature should be configured?
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
✓
QoS (Quality of Service) policy rules with appropriate traffic classes and priority queues
Prisma SD-WAN utilizes Quality of Service (QoS) policies and traffic prioritizations to manage bandwidth and prioritize voice traffic over bulk transfers.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
WildFire priority analysis queue
Why it's wrong here
WildFire priority queues relate to file sample analysis speed, not network traffic QoS.
- ✓
QoS (Quality of Service) policy rules with appropriate traffic classes and priority queues
Why this is correct
QoS policies in Prisma SD-WAN ensure critical applications like voice are assigned high priority queues during congestion.
- ✗
GlobalProtect QoS marking templates pushed via Panorama
Why it's wrong here
GlobalProtect QoS templates apply to mobile user tunnels, not branch Prisma SD-WAN nodes.
- ✗
A Zone Protection profile restricting bandwidth per security zone
Why it's wrong here
Zone Protection guards against DoS attacks, not application-level prioritization.
