Question

An administrator wants to implement additional Cloud-Delivered Security Services (CDSS) on a data center NGFW that already has one enabled. What benefit does the NGFW's single-pass parallel processing (SP3) architecture provide?

Options

AIt allows for traffic inspection at the application level.
BThere will be no additional performance degradation.
CThere will be only a minor reduction in performance.
DIt allows additional security inspection devices to be added inline.

Explanation

The SP3 architecture of Palo Alto NGFWs ensures that additional security services (CDSS) only cause a minor reduction in performance, as traffic is inspected once in a single pass. The single-pass parallel processing (SP3) architecture performs application identification and security enforcement simultaneously in one pass, resulting in only minor performance impacts when enabling multiple security services. Unlike traditional multi-pass engines, SP3 architecture optimizes performance while delivering comprehensive security.
