Prisma Access Services practice questions

This domain covers Prisma Access service configuration and troubleshooting in Panorama: DNS Security, CASB inline policies, Service Connections, and ZTNA private application access. Questions present a symptom or requirement and ask where a setting lives or which feature resolves the issue, so you must know Panorama workflows and the service path traffic takes.

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 Services

Be able to locate Prisma Access DNS Security, CASB, Service Connection, and ZTNA settings in Panorama and trace mobile-user traffic to private apps. The key is knowing which Prisma Access component handles each requirement before choosing a fix.

Configuring Prisma Access DNS Security under Panorama network security profiles and policy

CASB inline policy enforcement using SaaS application identification and URL filtering

Service Connection routing for mobile users to on-premises private applications

ZTNA connector and private application configuration for user-to-app access

Watch out for

Common Prisma Access Services exam traps

  • ▸Assuming DNS Security is set on the firewall or local agent instead of in Panorama profiles applied to Prisma Access
  • ▸Confusing Service Connection versus ZTNA paths when private app traffic fails
  • ▸Blaming CASB policy when the real cause is domain fronting or unsupported URL structures

A security engineer is troubleshooting a ZTNA connection issue where remote users running GlobalProtect are unable to reach internal applications hosted behind a Prisma Access Remote Network. The mobile users and remote networks are in the same region, but direct branch-to-branch routing is failing. Which Prisma Access feature must be verified to ensure direct traffic flow between mobile users and remote networks without backhauling to the cloud service nodes?

An enterprise wants to implement Firewall as a Service (FWaaS) using Prisma Access to protect inter-branch traffic and internet traffic. Which Panorama template type is primarily used to push network and device configurations to Prisma Access nodes?

Question 4mediummultiple choice

An administrator needs to configure Prisma Access Remote Networks to route specific corporate traffic to a local data center while sending internet-bound traffic directly through Prisma Access. Which configuration component in Panorama is used to define this split-tunneling behavior?

Question 5hardmultiple choice

A network administrator needs to verify that the QoS (Quality of Service) settings applied to Prisma Access mobile users are prioritizing real-time voice and video traffic correctly. Where are QoS profiles applied in the Prisma Access configuration hierarchy in Panorama?

An organization wants to restrict access to a sensitive internal financial database so that only users belonging to the 'Finance-Dept' Active Directory group and connecting from compliant corporate laptops can access it. Which Prisma Access security feature combines user identity, device posture, and application access control?

An administrator needs to onboard new mobile users into Prisma Access using a SAML Identity Provider (IdP). Where in Panorama are the SAML authentication settings configured for GlobalProtect mobile users?

A company requires that Prisma Access FWaaS inspects all inter-zone traffic between two different remote branch offices connected via Prisma Access. By default, how does Prisma Access handle traffic between two Remote Networks attached to the same service region?

Which component of Prisma Access is responsible for providing centralized management, monitoring, and reporting for all SWG, ZTNA, CASB, and FWaaS features?

A security analyst is investigating a Prisma Access FWaaS alert indicating a brute-force attack against an internal server published via a Service Connection. Which security profile should be tuned to detect and block this network-layer attack signature?

An enterprise is integrating Prisma Access with their corporate infrastructure. Which THREE components can be connected to Prisma Access to provide centralized cloud security inspection? (Choose three)

A security engineer is troubleshooting traffic inspection issues in Prisma Access FWaaS. Traffic between two mobile users is bypassing security policy inspection. Which THREE factors could cause intra-zone or inter-user traffic to bypass security inspection in Prisma Access? (Choose three)

An administrator is setting up Prisma Access logging and monitoring. Which THREE logs or reporting features in Panorama provide insights into SWG, ZTNA, and CASB activities? (Choose three)

An administrator is configuring a Secure Web Gateway policy in Prisma Access to restrict employee access to high-risk SaaS applications using Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) inline controls. The requirement is to block file uploads to unmanaged personal instances of cloud storage while permitting read access. Where should the administrator configure this granular action?

An enterprise requires their mobile users to use a Secure Web Gateway (SWG) service that intercepts all web traffic without requiring explicit browser proxy configurations on each client machine. Which Prisma Access deployment method meets this requirement transparently?

Question 16mediummultiple choice
Review the full routing breakdown →

A Prisma Access administrator needs to route all traffic from a specific branch office through a dedicated service connection to enforce security inspection, but the branch uses a static public IP that is not managed by Panorama. Which type of service connection should be configured to achieve this?

Question 17mediummultiple choice
Read the full DNS explanation →

An administrator needs to ensure that DNS queries from Prisma Access mobile users are resolved by Prisma Access's built-in DNS proxy rather than by the local DNS servers of the user's ISP. Which configuration step is required in the Prisma Access mobile user settings?

Question 18mediummultiple choice
Read the full DNS explanation →

A Prisma Access administrator needs to ensure that remote users' DNS queries are resolved by Prisma Access DNS Security and that malicious domains are sinkholed. The administrator has already configured DNS Security in a Security policy rule. Which additional configuration is required to enforce DNS sinkholing for mobile users?

Question 19mediummultiple choice

A security engineer is configuring Prisma Access to inspect traffic from a remote network that uses a dynamic public IP address. The remote network's firewall supports only policy-based VPNs. Which Prisma Access feature should be used to ensure traffic is inspected and the connection is established securely?

Question 20mediummultiple choice
