How does Prisma Access support IoT security?

Question

Options

• ABy automatically identifying and classifying IoT devices on the network
• BBy requiring all IoT devices to authenticate using SAML
• CBy blocking all traffic from unknown devices
• DBy restricting IoT devices to a single VLAN

• A
  94% (31)
• B
  3% (1)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Prisma Access supports IoT security primarily through automatic device identification and classification - it uses machine learning and behavioral analytics to discover and profile IoT devices on the network without requiring manual intervention, enabling policy enforcement based on device type and risk posture.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (SAML authentication): IoT devices typically cannot support complex authentication protocols like SAML; requiring it would break most IoT deployments and is not a Prisma Access IoT feature.
• C (blocking unknown devices): Blocking all unknown traffic would be operationally destructive; Prisma Access aims to identify and secure unknown devices, not blanket-block them.
• D (single VLAN restriction): VLAN segmentation is a traditional network control; Prisma Access operates at a higher level using zero-trust policy, not simply confining devices to one VLAN.

Memory tip: Think of Prisma Access IoT security as "see it, know it, secure it" - the first step is always visibility through auto-identification, which then enables policy. If an answer skips identification and jumps straight to restriction, it's likely wrong.
