The Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) certifies that individuals have demonstrated knowledge of key features of Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls and can effectively deploy the firewalls to securely enable traffic based on who (users), what (applications), when (time-based policy), and how (content). Palo Alto Networks next-generation firewalls that are configured correctly enable administrators to prevent successful cyberattacks.

The Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Administrator (PCNSA) exam is a formal certification exam that can be attempted by anyone who has completed either the Next-Generation Firewall 10.0 Digital Learning courses, or attended and completed the Firewall Essentials: Configuration and Management (EDU-210) instructor-led course.

How can I register for PCNSA Exam on Pearsonvue if I don't want to tie my certification to my company's email?

Excited to share that I passed the PCNSA exam! 🎉 The journey wasn’t easy, but with consistent study and the right resources, I made it through. I highly recommend using Practice Tests to prepare—they were a game-changer for me. They help you identify weak spots and get comfortable with the exam format. Ready to take on my next certification challenge! >>  https://bit.ly/PCNSA_Practice_Questions
