Which platform associated with Palo Alto Networks is used to manage dynamic block lists?

• A. Panorama (Palo Alto)
• B. Next Generation Firewall
• C. Splunk
• D. SolarWinds

Answer: (A)

Centralized management of dynamic block lists across Palo Alto devices is handled by Panorama. Panorama serves as the single control plane for Palo Alto firewalls, allowing you to create, update, and push security objects—such as dynamic block lists—from one interface to all managed appliances. It ensures consistent enforcement of threat intelligence across the network by distributing the lists to every device you manage, without needing to update each firewall individually. The other options describe the actual firewall product, a separate log analysis platform, and a general network management suite, none of which provide the centralized block-list management capability for Palo Alto devices.
