Palo Alto Networks Network Security Analyst Sample Questions:
An analyst is configuring an Anti-Spyware profile to identify infected internal hosts that are attempting to contact known malicious Command and Control (C2) servers. Which feature should be enabled to redirect these malicious DNS queries to a controlled internal IP address for forensic analysis?

Which set of actions will allow an administrator to handle traffic redirection most efficiently when degradation occurs on a specific SaaS application that has an on-premises backup?
- A. Use Advanced SD-WAN to create SaaS Quality profiles and Path Quality profiles with appropriate SLA levels, then create a Traffic Distribution profile set for "top down" with a DIA interface first and the SD-WAN path that leads to on-premises backup second. Use these in an SD-WAN rule.
- B. Use Advanced Routing Engine to create a logical router with BGP, then set up a new AS routing environment. Peer the AS to the SaaS company's AS and redistribute routes from the SaaS company's AS with BGP Filtering profile for the application-specific traffic.
- C. Use VPN tunneling to create tunnels between the branches and the SaaS application provider with a backup tunnel pointing to the on-premises backup. Use OSPF to determine the shortest path to reach the application which will reconverge when there is a failure.
- D. Use Policy-Based Forwarding (PBF) to create a rule that sends sessions for the SaaS application to the on-premises backup, then create a path monitor with "wait-recover" selected. Ensure that
"enforce symmetric return" is enabled for the rule so failures do not create routing loops.
