To connect aremote networkto Prisma Access via Strata Cloud Manager (SCM), the remote network requires anIPSec termination node. This acts as the VPN endpoint, ensuring secure connectivity between branch locations and Prisma Access.
"To onboard a remote network, configure the IPSec termination node on the customer's premises. This VPN endpoint establishes the secure tunnel to Prisma Access for traffic backhauling." (Source: Onboard Remote Networks) Key takeaway:
The IPSec termination node is fundamental for secure, encrypted connectivity.

To fully leverageinline cloud analysisin Advanced Threat Prevention, security profiles (e.g., anti-spyware) must beupdated or newly createdto enable local deep learning and inline cloud analysis models.
"To activate inline cloud analysis, update your Anti-Spyware profile to enable advanced inline detection engines, including deep learning-based models and cloud-delivered signatures." (Source: Inline Cloud Analysis and Deep Learning) This ensuresreal-time protectionfrom sophisticated threats beyond static signatures.

Host Information Profile (HIP) checksare used in GlobalProtect to collect and evaluate endpoint posture (OS, patch level, AV status) to enforce granular security policies for remote users.
"The HIP feature collects information about the host and can be used in security policies to enforce posture- based access control. This ensures only compliant endpoints can access sensitive resources." (Source: GlobalProtect HIP Checks) This enables fine-grained, context-aware access decisions beyond user identity alone.

The firewall must be running a PAN-OS version that is supported by Panorama. This means thatPanorama must be running the same or a newer PAN-OS versionas the one being installed on the firewalls to maintain compatibility.
"Before you upgrade the firewall, ensure that Panorama is running the same or a later PAN-OS version than the firewall. Panorama must always be at the same or a higher version to maintain compatibility." (Source: Panorama Admin Guide - Upgrade Process)

In Prisma Access, the interzone security policy rule is available and plays a crucial role in controlling traffic between zones.
"You can configure an interzone rule to control traffic that flows between different zones in Prisma Access, enabling granular security policy enforcement." (Source: Prisma Access Security Policies) This ensures comprehensive control of traffic crossing security boundaries in the cloud-delivered architecture.
