Explanation

Option B: This is a significant benefit. Cloud NGFWs can often be configured to auto-scale based on traffic demands. As your applications grow and require more bandwidth and processing, the NGFW can automatically scale up its resources (or deploy additional instances) to maintain performance and security. This elasticity is a core advantage of cloud-based firewalls. Option D: This is a crucial advantage, especially in multi-cloud deployments. Palo Alto Networks NGFWs allow you to enforce consistent security policies across different cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.). This ensures consistent protection regardless of where your workloads are running and simplifies security management. East-west traffic (traffic between workloads within the same cloud environment) is also a key focus, as it's often overlooked by traditional perimeter-based security.
