A multinational corporation uses Palo Alto Networks NGFWs and needs to centralize the management of all their firewalls globally, ensuring consistent policy deployment, software updates, and reporting across hundreds of devices. Which Palo Alto Networks management solution is designed for this large-scale, centralized control?
- ADevice Manager
- BCortex XDR
- CPanorama
- DPrisma Cloud
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Panorama
Panorama is Palo Alto Networks' centralized security management platform, specifically designed to manage hundreds or thousands of NGFWs, providing unified policy control, logging, and reporting across a distributed network.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Device Manager refers to the local web interface or CLI of an individual NGFW, not a centralized management solution for many devices.
- B. Cortex XDR is an extended detection and response platform for threat detection, not centralized firewall management.
- D. Prisma Cloud is a multi-cloud security platform, not a solution for managing on-premises or cloud-deployed NGFW instances.
