According to a customer’s CIO, who is upgrading PAN-OS versions, “Finding issues and then engaging with your support people requires expertise that our operations team can better utilize elsewhere on more valuable tasks for the business.” The upgrade project was initiated in a rush because the company did not have the appropriate tools to indicate that their current NGFWs were reaching capacity. Which two actions by the Palo Alto Networks team offer a long-term solution for the customer? (Choose two.)

Answer options

A: Recommend that the operations team use the free machine learning-powered AIOps for NGFW tool. Correct answer

B: Suggest the inclusion of training into the proposal so that the operations team is informed and confident in working on their firewalls.

C: Inform the CIO that the new enhanced security features they will gain from the PAN-OS upgrades will fix any future problems with upgrading and capacity.

D: Propose AIOps Premium within Strata Cloud Manager (SCM) to address the company’s issues from within the existing technology. Correct answer

Correct Answer:

A. Recommend that the operations team use the free machine learning-powered AIOps for NGFW tool.; D. Propose AIOps Premium within Strata Cloud Manager (SCM) to address the company’s issues from within the existing technology.

Explanation

AIOps for NGFW provides free, ML-driven health monitoring and upgrade readiness, offloading routine checks from operators. Upgrading to AIOps Premium inside Strata Cloud Manager extends this with proactive capacity forecasting and guided remediation—addressing both upgrade pain and future capacity exhaustion.

Why Incorrect

B. Training improves skills but doesn’t continuously monitor capacity or automate upgrades.
C. New PAN-OS features alone cannot predict or prevent future upgrade/capacity issues.
