Strata Cloud Manager (SCM) is Palo Alto Networks' centralized cloud-based management platform for managing network security solutions, including Prisma Access and Prisma SD-WAN. SCM can also integrate with VM-Series firewalls for managing virtualized NGFW deployments.
Why A (Prisma SD-WAN) Is Correct
* SCM is the management interface for Prisma SD-WAN, enabling centralized orchestration, monitoring, and configuration of SD-WAN deployments.
Why D (VM-Series NGFW) Is Correct
* SCM supports managing VM-Series NGFWs, providing centralized visibility and control for virtualized firewall deployments in cloud or on-premises environments.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect
* B (Prisma Cloud):Prisma Cloud is a separate product for securing workloads in public cloud environments. It is not managed via SCM.
* C (Cortex XDR):Cortex XDR is a platform for endpoint detection and response (EDR). It is managed through its own console, not SCM.
