SSE-Engineer Prisma Access Troubleshooting Practice Question
When troubleshooting a Prisma Access deployment where traffic from remote users is failing Threat Prevention inspection, which TWO components or configurations must be verified? (Choose two)
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
✓
Decryption policy configuration ensuring traffic is not bypassing inspection
For Threat Prevention to inspect traffic in Prisma Access, Decryption policies must be active (since most traffic is SSL/TLS encrypted) and Anti-Spyware/Antivirus security profiles must be attached to the respective Security Policy rules.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Decryption policy configuration ensuring traffic is not bypassing inspection
Why this is correct
Encrypted traffic cannot be inspected for threats unless a Decryption policy is actively decrypting the session.
- ✗
Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) API connector tokens
Why it's wrong here
CASB API connectors monitor out-of-band SaaS applications and do not impact inline threat inspection.
- ✗
GlobalProtect user username-to-IP mapping agent status
Why it's wrong here
Username-to-IP mapping is used for User-ID policy enforcement, not directly required for Threat Prevention signature matching.
- ✓
Security Policy rules having appropriate Threat Prevention profiles (Antivirus, Vulnerability, Anti-Spyware) attached
Why this is correct
Security rules must have security profiles explicitly assigned to inspect and block identified threats.
- ✗
Service Connection BGP peer keepalive intervals
Why it's wrong here
BGP keepalives manage site-to-site tunnel uptime, not threat inspection functionality.
