Prisma Access Administration And Operation practice questions

This domain covers day-to-day Prisma Access operations: service connections, mobile user and remote network onboarding, User-ID with Cloud Identity Engine, HIP enforcement, and security processing for branch and data center traffic. Questions are scenario-based, asking you to choose the correct configuration objects, routing, and policy to meet a stated security outcome.

Courseiva uses original exam-style practice questions designed for learning and revision. The goal is to understand the concepts, recognise exam patterns, and improve through explanations — not memorise copied exam dumps.

What the exam tests

What to know about Prisma Access Administration And Operation

Be able to translate a stated security requirement into the right Prisma Access configuration: service connection routing, HIP profiles, Cloud Identity Engine identity sources, and remote network traffic steering. The single most important thing is matching policy objects to the exact traffic path being secured.

Configuring Prisma Access service connections and associated routing for data center workloads

Enforcing Host Information Profile checks on Mobile Users before granting internal access

Integrating Cloud Identity Engine for User-ID, authentication, and group-based policy

Directing remote network site traffic through Prisma Access for outbound inspection

Watch out for

Common Prisma Access Administration And Operation exam traps

  • ▸Assuming service connections automatically carry all subnets; you must define the routed networks and security processing rules explicitly.
  • ▸Forgetting that HIP checks require both a HIP profile and a security policy rule referencing it to actually block non-compliant endpoints.
  • ▸Mixing up Cloud Identity Engine directory sync versus authentication; group-based policy needs the correct identity source and user mapping.

An administrator is troubleshooting a HIP (Host Information Profile) check failure for mobile users. Where can the administrator view the collected HIP reports and check compliance status in real-time?

Where do administrators configure service connections in Prisma Access to connect the cloud security infrastructure to the organization's data center or headquarters?

An administrator notices that specific applications identified via App-ID are failing decryption inspection in Prisma Access because the server uses an unsupported cipher suite. Where can the administrator adjust the SSL decryption profile to resolve handshake failures?

An organization requires that specific SaaS applications are accessed only by corporate-managed devices that pass a specific HIP check. Which policy type should the administrator configure?

A Prisma Access administrator notices that remote network traffic destined for another remote network (branch-to-branch traffic) is being dropped or failing to establish. What is the required configuration to allow branch-to-branch traffic?

An administrator wants to configure authentication for mobile users using SAML 2.0 with Prisma Access. Where is the identity provider (IdP) metadata imported and configured?

A Prisma Access mobile user reports that they cannot access internal resources, and the GlobalProtect app status shows 'Connected' but with an internal IP address assigned from the reserve pool. What is the most likely cause of routing failure?

An administrator wants to view real-time metrics, node status, and active connection counts for Prisma Access Mobile Users and Remote Networks directly from Panorama. Which tool within Panorama should the administrator access?

An administrator configures Decryption Policies in Prisma Access to inspect inbound traffic destined for internal applications published via Service Connections. Users report that certain internal web applications using custom internal Certificate Authorities (CAs) are failing TLS handshakes. Where should the administrator check and install the enterprise internal CA certificate to resolve this inspection issue?

When configuring Mobile Users in Prisma Access, an administrator needs to define the regions where GlobalProtect gateway nodes will be instantiated to serve remote workers. Which Panorama menu path is used to configure Mobile Users locations and bandwidth allocations?

Question 13mediummultiple choice

An administrator is troubleshooting a scenario where remote users connected via Prisma Access Mobile Users cannot access a specific newly added subnet behind a Remote Network location. Which configuration check should the administrator perform first in Panorama?

A network administrator needs to restrict access for remote users to a specific SaaS application based on their device's security posture. Which configuration sequence allows this in Prisma Access?

When using Cloud Identity Engine (CIE) for authentication, which method allows for the most seamless user experience for mobile users?

Which THREE items must be configured to successfully enforce HIP-based security policies for mobile users?

Question 17easymultiple choice

A Prisma Access administrator must add a new remote network site in the Americas region and needs the branch firewall to establish the IPSec tunnel to the closest Prisma Access service connection. Which Prisma Access component must the branch firewall's IKE gateway peer address resolve to?

An administrator needs to ensure that Security policy rules in Prisma Access apply consistently to both mobile users and remote networks. The administrator creates a rule with the source zone set to Trust and the destination zone set to Untrust. Mobile user traffic is being evaluated by the rule, but remote network traffic is not. Which action should the administrator take to correct the zone configuration?

An administrator deploys Prisma Access with a Service Connection to an on-premises data center. Branch users connected through a Remote Network must reach an internal application server at 10.20.30.40/32, which is advertised from the data center over BGP. Traffic is reaching the service connection but the return path fails. Which Prisma Access configuration is required so that Prisma Access advertises the Remote Network summary route back to the data center BGP peer?

An administrator is deploying a new Prisma Access instance and needs to onboard a Remote Network site. The ISP has provided a single public IP address for the branch firewall. The administrator must configure the IPSec tunnel to Prisma Access using that address. Which TWO settings are required on the branch firewall to establish the tunnel? (Choose two.)
