Which PAN-OS SD-WAN feature provides visibility into device and traffic monitoring?

Application and device identification integrated into PAN-OS

A company is comparing Prisma SD-WAN and PAN-OS SD-WAN for IoT visibility. They need to monitor IoT devices across multiple sites and want a cloud-managed solution. Which option provides centralized cloud-based visibility?

Both provide identical cloud-based visibility.

Neither provides IoT visibility.

Prisma SD-WAN, because it is cloud-managed and provides centralized analytics.

PAN-OS SD-WAN, because it is on-premises and provides local visibility.

How does a virtual metadata collector enhance visibility compared to relying solely on NGFW logs?

It provides real-time blocking of threats

It replaces the need for any logging

It provides a centralized aggregation of metadata from multiple sources

It only works with cloud-based IoT devices

A global enterprise uses PAN-OS SD-WAN in its NGFWs. The security team needs to provide IoT device visibility to a central SOC, but they also need to ensure that the solution works even if the WAN link to the central site fails. Which approach best meets both requirements?

Use a third-party SIEM that requires a constant connection to the central site.

Deploy a virtual metadata collector at each site and only access it locally.

Rely solely on Prisma SD-WAN's cloud analytics, assuming the WAN link is always available.

Use PAN-OS SD-WAN's local monitoring dashboards and configure log forwarding to the SOC when the link is up.

What is the primary role of a virtual metadata collector in an IoT security architecture?

To provide physical connectivity for IoT devices

To block malicious IoT traffic in real time

To replace the NGFW in the data path

To aggregate and analyze IoT metadata for enhanced visibility
