What is the purpose of creating security zones on a Palo Alto Networks firewall?
Security zones are logical groupings used to segment traffic on the firewall. Policies are created based on these zones to enforce security controls between different areas of the network.

Please select 3 correct answers
When configuring a security policy, you must specify:
Source Zone: The origin of the traffic.
Destination Zone: The intended target zone for the traffic.
Application: What type of application traffic the policy applies to.
Adding a security profile is optional and depends on the use case.
What happens to traffic that does not match any custom security policy in a Palo Alto Networks firewall?
If traffic does not match any specific security policy, the firewall applies the default interzone-default policy, which denies traffic between different zones unless explicitly allowed.
What type of security policy allows traffic between interfaces in the same zone?
The intrazone-default policy allows traffic between interfaces within the same zone. It operates by default unless overridden by a custom policy.
