Security Service Edge Engineer Intermediate Practice Exam: Medium Difficulty 2025

An organization is adopting Prisma Access as its SSE platform. They want to apply consistent security policy to users whether they are on the corporate network or working remotely, without backhauling traffic to HQ. Which architecture approach best meets this goal?

A security engineer is explaining SSE components to a network team. They need to describe how users get authenticated and how policy decisions are made before allowing access to applications. Which combination best represents the control-plane elements involved?

A company wants to reduce risk from unmanaged BYOD devices accessing internal web applications. They plan to publish apps through SSE so users authenticate via SSO and devices must meet minimum posture checks before access is granted. Which SSE capability combination best fits this requirement?

A branch office is being onboarded to Prisma Access as a Remote Network. The branch uses two ISPs and requires higher availability with automated failover. Which configuration best aligns with this requirement?

Mobile users report that access to corporate SaaS applications works, but access to a private internal app published through ZTNA fails after authentication. The app is hosted in a data center reachable via a service connection. Which misconfiguration is the most likely cause?

A security team wants to prevent users from uploading sensitive data to unsanctioned cloud storage while still allowing access to sanctioned collaboration tools. They also want to apply the same control for remote users and users at branches. Which approach best meets the requirement?

A company integrates its IdP with Prisma Access for user authentication and group-based policy. After a re-org, users are moved to new groups in the IdP, but policy enforcement still reflects the old groups. Which operational action most directly addresses this in an SSE environment?

A security engineer needs to investigate a suspected data exfiltration attempt from a remote user to a file-sharing site. They want to confirm which policy rule matched, what app was identified, and whether DLP triggered. Which operational workflow best supports this investigation?

Users in a specific region complain that web browsing is slow after moving to SSE. The engineer suspects suboptimal onboarding to enforcement locations. Which optimization action is most appropriate to validate and improve user experience while maintaining security inspection?

A remote user can reach most HTTPS sites, but a specific business-critical site fails only when SSL decryption is enabled in SSE. The site works when decryption is bypassed. Which is the best next step to resolve the issue without broadly weakening security?
