These two are new Palo Alto Networks exams. You need to know the new Palo Alto Networks certification structure in detail.

Palo Alto Networks’ role-based certification framework has launched

The Palo Alto Networks’ role-based certification framework has launched. The framework aims to address the growing complexity of cyber threats by equipping individuals with skills for real-world cybersecurity roles, helping organizations build a skilled workforce and robust security infrastructure. All the role-based certifications will focus on practical, job-relevant knowledge and skills.

Palo Alto Networks’ new certification exams will be released in three tracks:

1. Network Security Track

● Network Security Generalist: Validates comprehensive knowledge of Palo Alto Networks' security solutions, suitable for those with a broad understanding of network security.

● Network Security Analyst: Targets professionals responsible for analyzing and responding to network security threats, emphasizing object configuration and policy creation.

● Next-Generation Firewall Engineer: Validates expertise in deploying PAN-OS networks, automating solutions, and managing systems with Panorama, for professionals demonstrating advanced network security skills.

● Security Service Edge Engineer: Validates an engineer's ability to deploy, configure, manage, and troubleshoot security service edge (SSE) environments, targeting professionals who want to demonstrate expertise in SSE and SASE deployments.

● Network Security Engineer (PCNSE): Validates advanced skills in designing and managing Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls, intended for professionals seeking to demonstrate comprehensive network security expertise.

2. Cloud Security Track

● Prisma Certified Cloud Security Engineer (PCCSE): Validates the ability to onboard, deploy, and administer all aspects of Prisma Cloud, including workload protection and compliance.

3. Security Operations Track

● Security Operations Generalist: Covers foundational knowledge in security operations, including threat detection and incident response.

● XSIAM Analyst: Focuses on skills related to Palo Alto Networks' Extended Security Intelligence and Automation Management (XSIAM) platform.

● XSIAM Engineer: Validates an engineer's ability to deploy, configure, manage, onboard data, and create playbooks using Cortex XSIAM in a security operations environment, targeting professionals aiming to showcase their expertise in XSIAM deployments within SOCs.

● XDR Analyst: Centers on expertise in Extended Detection and Response (XDR) technologies.

● XDR Engineer: Geared towards professionals implementing and managing XDR solutions.

● Detection and Remediation Analyst (PCDRA): Validates expertise in deploying and managing the Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR platform, focusing on best practices and operational standards.

● Security Automation Engineer (PCSAE): Validates expertise in developing and managing the Palo Alto Networks Cortex XSOAR platform with threat intelligence, for professionals who administer XSOAR in production.

Besides all these role-based certification exams, there are two foundation exams available:

● Cybersecurity Apprentice: An entry-level certification designed for individuals new to cybersecurity, covering foundational concepts and security measures.

● Cybersecurity Practitioner: Focuses on practical skills in threat prevention and security tools, building upon the Apprentice level.

These two foundation exams are available for all platforms.

Palo Alto Networks is currently transitioning its legacy certifications

Palo Alto Networks is currently transitioning from its legacy certification structure to a role-based certification framework that aligns with specific job functions.

Key points about the transition:

● Legacy certifications like PCNSE, PCDRA, and PCSAE are being gradually phased out.

● Candidates are encouraged to pursue the new role-based certifications that map more directly to operational tasks in modern security environments.

● The new certifications offer clearer career paths and better reflect practical, hands-on skills.

As part of Palo Alto Networks’ new certification framework rollout, they will retire legacy exams that cover content now addressed in the role-based exams. Specifically, the Palo Alto Networks Detection and Remediation Analyst (PCDRA) exam will be retired on April 30, 2025.

We hope you have understood the transition and know the new role-based certification framework. If you want to get the latest study materials to make preparations, focus on DumpsBase here.
