&lt;H5&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Who is this certification for?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H5&gt;

Candidates should have a recommended&amp;nbsp; 5+ years of experience in designing and implementing security and networking solutions, combined with 2+ years specific experience with Palo Alto Networks architecture.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H5&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;What does the exam cover?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/H5&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The blueprint focuses on the critical design and architecture skills needed for today's complex environments, including:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
