Which of the following is a common method used by User-ID to map IP addresses to user identities?

Inspecting the content of all network traffic for user credentials

Using the device's MAC address to identify the user

Analyzing the destination IP address of the traffic

Integrating with Active Directory or LDAP to collect user login events

What is the primary purpose of Device-ID in Palo Alto Networks Strata and SASE products?

To identify devices and apply security policies based on device attributes

To identify users and groups and enforce policies based on user identity

To identify applications and control their content

To segment network traffic into different security zones

An organization uses Strata firewalls to enforce web browsing policies. They need to allow social media access for the Marketing team but block it for all other employees. The firewall currently sees only IP addresses. What must be configured to enforce this policy?

Zones to segment the network, then create a rule based on source zone

User-ID to map IP addresses to user identities, then create a security rule based on the Marketing group

Content-ID to inspect the social media content, then create a rule based on content type

Device-ID to identify the device type, then create a rule based on device category

What is the primary objective of network hardening in the context of Strata and SASE products?

To increase the number of security policies to ensure every possible traffic path is explicitly allowed

To replace all hardware firewalls with cloud-based security services

To ensure all network traffic is encrypted using the strongest available cipher suites

To reduce the attack surface by eliminating unnecessary services, closing unused ports, and enforcing least-privilege access

What is the primary purpose of User-ID in Palo Alto Networks Strata and SASE products?

To identify devices based on their operating system and hostname

To identify applications and control their content

To segment network traffic into different security zones

To identify users and groups and enforce security policies based on user identity
