Encrypted Traffic Insights is a feature of Juniper ATP Cloud and SRX Series firewalls that can detect malicious threats that are hidden in encrypted traffic without intercepting and decrypting the traffic. It permits organizations greater visibility and policy control over encrypted traffic, without requiring resource-intensive SSL Decryption1.

Encrypted Traffic Insights assesses the threat of the traffic by using two methods:

• It validates the certificates used by the external servers that the internal hosts are trying to connect to. It compares the certificate signatures with a blocklist of known malicious certificates and also checks the certificate validity, issuer, and subject. If the certificate is invalid or matches a malicious signature, the connection is blocked or alerted2.
• It reviews the timing and frequency of the connections to the external servers. It uses behavior analysis and machine learning to identify patterns and anomalies that indicate malicious activity, such as command and control (C&C) communications, botnet traffic, or data exfiltration. It also uses threat intelligence feeds to enrich the analysis and provide additional context2.

Encrypted Traffic Insights does not decrypt the file or the data in a sandbox or to validate the hash, as these methods would require breaking the encryption of the traffic, which would violate data privacy laws and introduce latency and performance issues21. References:

 The error occurred because the “http” application is not defined in this context of Juniper SRX Series device configuration. One solution is to create a custom application named “http” at the [edit applications] hierarchy level (Option C). Another solution is to modify the security policy to use the built-in “junos-http” application which is predefined and doesn’t need an explicit definition (Option D). Options A and B are not correct because they do not address the root cause of the error, which is the undefined application “http”. References: The answers can be verified from Juniper’s official documentation on security policies and applications available on their website.

• A stateful firewall in SRX Series devices keeps track of the state of network connections, distinguishing legitimate packets for different types of connections and allowing only packets that match a known active connection. Sessions are created when a TCP SYN packet is received and permitted by the security policy1.
• A security policy is a set of rules that defines how traffic is processed by the SRX Series device. A security policy applies the security rules to the transit traffic within a context (from-zone to to-zone) and each policy is uniquely identified by its name. The traffic is classified by matching the source and destination zones, the source and destination addresses, and the application that the traffic carries in its protocol headers with the policy database in the data plane2.
• A Layer 3 route is a path that a packet takes to reach its destination based on the destination IP address. The SRX Series device performs a longest-match Layer 3 route table lookup to determine the next hop for the packet3.
• An Application Layer Gateway (ALG) is a software component that provides application-level awareness, security, and control for specific protocols. An ALG inspects the application-layer payload of a packet and modifies it if necessary to allow the application to traverse the SRX Series device. For example, an ALG can rewrite IP addresses and port numbers in the payload of FTP or SIP packets4.
• The sequence that an SRX Series device uses when implementing stateful session security policies using Layer 3 routes is as follows3:

Juniper ATP Cloud is a cloud-based service that provides advanced threat prevention for SRX Series devices. Juniper ATP Cloud can inspect files for malware by sending them to the cloud or performing a hash lookup. To reduce delays in the inspection of files, Juniper ATP Cloud performs the following two functions12:

• Juniper ATP Cloud allows the creation of allowlists. Allowlists are lists of trusted files or domains that are not sent to the cloud for inspection. This reduces the network traffic and the processing time for the files that are known to be safe. You can create allowlists from the Juniper ATP Cloud Web UI or the SRX Series device CLI.
• Juniper ATP Cloud performs a cache lookup on files. Cache lookup is a feature that checks if a file has been previously scanned by Juniper ATP Cloud and returns the cached verdict. This avoids sending the same file to the cloud again and saves bandwidth and time. Cache lookup is enabled by default and can be configured from the SRX Series device CLI. References:
• Juniper ATP Cloud User Guide
• Juniper ATP Cloud Deployment Guide for SRX Series Devices

Juniper Identity Management Service (JIMS) is a service that collects and maintains a large database of user, device, and group information from identity sources, enabling SRX Series Service Gateways to rapidly identify users in a large, distributed enterprise1. JIMS supports the following identity sources: Microsoft Active Directory on Windows Server 2008 R2 and later, and Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 with Service Pack 3 (SP3) and later2. JIMS collects username and device IP addresses from these sources by monitoring the event logs of the Active Directory domain controllers and the Exchange servers3. JIMS does not use DNS or OpenLDAP service ports as identity sources. References:

SRX Series device chassis clusters are created by physically connecting two identical cluster-supported SRX Series devices using a pair of the same type of Ethernet connections. The connection is made for both a control link and a fabric (data) link between the two devices. The chassis cluster data plane is connected with revenue ports, which are the ports that carry user traffic. The chassis cluster can contain a maximum of two devices, as only two nodes can form a cluster. The chassis cluster data plane is not connected with SPC ports, which are the ports that provide services processing. The chassis cluster cannot contain more than two devices, as this would violate the cluster design. References: Chassis Cluster Overview, Connecting SRX Series Firewalls to Create a Chassis Cluster

Based on the information from the exhibit, node0 is the primary node for both redundancy group 0 (RG0) and redundancy group 1 (RG1). RG0 is responsible for the control plane, which includes the Routing Engine and the management interface. RG1 is responsible for the data plane, which includes the interfaces and services. Therefore, node0 is the active node for the data plane, and node1 is the active node for the control plane34 References:

 Logging for a security policy can be configured to generate log entries at session initialization, at session close, or both. Logging at session initialization records the initial packet that matches the policy and triggers the session creation. Logging at session close records the summary statistics of the session, such as bytes and packets transmitted and received, and the reason for session termination. Logging at session initialization and close provides the most complete information about the traffic that matches the policy. Logging at fixed intervals, such as every 10 minutes or every 60 seconds, is not supported by Junos OS security policies. References:

Juniper Secure Analytics (JSA) is a security information and event management (SIEM) system that consolidates, analyzes, and manages surveillance data from network devices, endpoints, and applications. JSA uses two types of data collectors: Event Collector and Flow Collector1

The Event Collector collects and parses logs from various log sources, such as firewalls, routers, servers, and intrusion detection or prevention systems. The Event Collector normalizes the log data into a common format and sends it to the JSA console for further analysis and correlation. The Event Collector supports different protocols for log collection, such as syslog, SNMP, JDBC, and SDEE12

The Flow Collector collects and processes network traffic data from various flow sources, such as Flowlog files, NetFlow, J-Flow, sFlow, and Packeteer. The Flow Collector enriches the flow data with additional information, such as application identification, geolocation, and threat intelligence. The Flow Collector sends the flow data to the JSA console for further analysis and correlation. The Flow Collector can use statistical sampling to reduce the amount of flow data that is collected and processed, which can improve the performance and scalability of the system12

The Event Collector does not collect information using BGP FlowSpec, which is a protocol that allows the distribution of traffic flow specification rules among BGP peers. BGP FlowSpec is not a supported flow source for JSA3

The Flow Collector does not parse logs, which are textual records of network activity generated by log sources. The Flow Collector only handles flow data, which are binary records of network traffic generated by flow sources12

 AppQoE is an AppSecure component that provides application quality of experience by monitoring the network performance and dynamically adjusting the traffic routing based on predefined policies1. AppQoE can detect excessive packet loss on a WAN link and route the traffic to another link that has better performance2. AppQoE can also prioritize the traffic based on the application type and user group3. AppQoE is suitable for accomplishing the task of routing traffic from the degraded link to the working link.

The other options are not correct for the following reasons:

• AppFW is an AppSecure component that provides application firewalling by enforcing granular policies to allow, deny, or limit access to applications based on user roles, locations, and devices4. AppFW does not monitor or adjust the traffic routing based on network performance.
• AppQoS is an AppSecure component that provides application quality of service by allocating bandwidth and shaping traffic based on application priority and user group. AppQoS does not monitor or adjust the traffic routing based on network performance.
• APBR is an AppSecure component that provides application-based routing by selecting the best path for each application based on predefined criteria such as latency, jitter, packet loss, and cost. APBR does not monitor the network performance dynamically or adjust the traffic routing automatically.

The cSRX is a containerized version of the SRX Series device that runs on Linux platforms. The cSRX has the following benefits for deploying in a virtual environment:

• The cSRX supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 deployments, which means it can operate as a transparent or a routed firewall. The cSRX can also support multiple routing instances and virtual routers2
• The cSRX supports firewall, NAT, IPS, and UTM services, which means it can provide comprehensive security features for protecting the virtual network. The cSRX can also support application identification, user firewall, and VPN services2

The cSRX default configuration does not contain three default zones: trust, untrust, and management. The cSRX default configuration contains only one zone: junos-host. The cSRX does not have low memory requirements. The cSRX requires at least 2 GB of memory and 2 CPU cores to run2 References:

 SSL proxy is a transparent proxy that performs SSL encryption and decryption between the client and the server. It allows inspection of encrypted traffic by terminating the SSL connection from either end and applying security policies to the clear text. SSL proxy can leverage pre-match or post-match results to determine whether to apply SSL proxy to a session. Pre-match results are based on the initial packet of the session, while post-match results are based on the application identification after the session is established. In the exhibit, the session shows that the application services identification is “ssl-proxy”, which means that SSL proxy is applied based on the pre-match results. The cache lookup status for application services is “on”, which means that the SRX Series device uses the application system cache to store the pre-match results for faster processing. Therefore, the correct answer is D. SSL proxy leverages pre-match result. References: = SSL Proxy, Configuring SSL Proxy, and Application System Cache

Juniper ATP Cloud is a cloud-based threat detection service that protects all hosts in your network against evolving security threats. It uses a combination of tools to identify and block malware, such as cache lookup, static analysis, and dynamic analysis12

Cache lookup is the first step in the malware detection process. It checks the file hash against a database of known malicious and benign files. If the file is found in the cache, the analysis is completed and the file is either allowed or blocked based on the cache result12

Static analysis is the second step in the malware detection process. It examines the file attributes, such as file size, file type, file name, and embedded URLs, to determine if the file is suspicious or not. If the file is deemed suspicious, it is sent to the next step for further analysis. If the file is deemed benign, it is allowed to pass through12

Dynamic analysis is the third and final step in the malware detection process. It executes the file in a sandbox environment and observes its behavior, such as network connections, registry changes, file operations, and process injections. If the file exhibits malicious behavior, it is blocked and reported. If the file does not exhibit malicious behavior, it is allowed to pass through12

Therefore, dynamic analysis is not always performed to determine if a file contains malware, as it depends on the results of the cache lookup and static analysis. Similarly, if the cache lookup determines that a file contains malware, static analysis is not performed to verify the results, as the file is already blocked based on the cache lookup12

• Referring to the SRX Series flow module diagram shown in the exhibit, application security is processed at the Services ALGs stage. Application Layer Gateways (ALGs) are software components that enable the SRX Series device to provide application-level security for specific protocols and applications1.
• ALGs inspect the application layer payload of packets and perform various actions, such as modifying the payload, opening pinholes, creating sessions, applying security policies, and enforcing application-specific behavior12.
• ALGs are required for protocols and applications that embed IP address information or port numbers in the application layer data, that open secondary connections, or that are dynamically assigned ports1. Some examples of protocols and applications that require ALGs are FTP, SIP, H.323, RTSP, PPTP, and DNS2.
• ALGs are configured as part of the security policy and are applied to the traffic that matches the policy criteria. ALGs can also be enabled or disabled globally or per zone12.

The vSRX is a virtual firewall that offers the same features as the physical SRX Series firewalls, but in a virtualized form factor. It supports next-generation firewall (NGFW) capabilities, networking, and automated lifecycle management. It also integrates with cloud orchestration tools and software-defined networking (SDN) solutions1

The vSRX supports VMXNET3 vNICs, which are optimized for performance in virtualized environments. VMXNET3 vNICs offer enhanced networking features such as jumbo frames, hardware offloads, and multicast filtering2

The vSRX runs on Linux as the base OS, which provides a stable and secure platform for the Junos OS and the firewall functionality. Linux also enables the vSRX to leverage the native hypervisor drivers and APIs for better performance and compatibility3

Juniper ATP Cloud is a cloud-based threat detection service that protects all hosts in your network against evolving security threats. It assigns a threat level to each attacker IP address from 1 to 10, with 10 being the highest severity. Once the target threshold ismet, Juniper ATP Cloud continues looking for threats for a configurable duration from 0 to 10 minutes. This allows Juniper ATP Cloud to collect more information about the attacker and the attack vector, and to update the threat intelligence accordingly. The other options are incorrect. Option A is not configurable, and option D is not consistent with the documentation. References:

You can create an exempt rule to skip detection of a set of attacks in certain traffic. You can specify the source and destination IP addresses as the match criteria for the exempt rule. This allows you to exclude traffic from specific hosts or networks from being examined by the IPS rulebase. You can also specify other parameters such as protocol, application, and attack objects for the exempt rule, but source and destination IP addresses are the most common ones. References: = Create IPS or Exempt Rules and rulebase-exempt

JIMS server relies on the timestamps of the event logs to track the user and device status events. If the timestamps are out of order, JIMS server might miss some events or process them incorrectly, leading to unexpected issues. To avoid this, you shouldenable time synchronization on the JIMS server with an Internet time server or a domain controller12. This will ensure that the JIMS server has the correct time and can process the event logs in the right order. References:

AppFW and APPID are two application security features that can be used to block malicious applications regardless of the port number being used. AppFW provides policy-based enforcement and control on traffic based on application signatures. By using AppFW, you can block any application traffic not sanctioned by the enterprise. APPID identifies applications based on their behavior and characteristics, regardless of port, protocol, or encryption method. By using APPID, you can classify applications and apply appropriate security policies to them123 References:

The session table is a limited resource for SRX Series devices. If the session table is full, any new sessions will be rejected by the device. The aggressive session-aging mechanism accelerates the session timeout process when the number of sessions in the session table exceeds the specified high-watermark threshold. This mechanism minimizes the likelihood that the SRX Series devices will reject new sessions when the session table becomes full1. To perform aggressive session aging, you need to configure the following parameters1:

• early-ageout –During aggressive session aging, the sessions with an age-out time lower than the early-ageout threshold are marked as invalid. The early-ageout configuration specifies the timeout value, in seconds, that will be applied once the high-watermark value is met. For example, if you set the early-ageout to 30 seconds, any session that has been inactive for at least 30 seconds will be aged out when the high-watermark is reached2.
• high-watermark –The device performs aggressive session aging when the number of sessions in the session table exceeds the high-watermark threshold. The high-watermark configuration specifies the percentage of how much of the session table can be allocated before applying a more aggressive age-out timer. For example, if you set the high-watermark to 90 percent, the device will start aging out sessions more aggressively when the session table reaches 90 percent of its capacity3.

Therefore, the correct statements are B and D.

Juniper ATP Cloud is the threat intelligence hub for Juniper customers, identifying indicators of compromise for users and devices across the network. It provides security intelligence feeds, such as command and control (C&C) and infected hosts, that can be used to block or log malicious traffic. When you configure the C&C category with Juniper ATP Cloud, you need to specify the authentication token, the URL, and the update interval for the feeds. After you commit the configuration, the feeds are downloaded automatically from the Juniper ATP Cloud server. This may take a few minutes, depending on the network latency and the size of the feeds. Therefore, no action is required from the user, and the feeds will have non-zero objects once the download is complete. You can verify the status of the feeds by using the show services security intelligence category summary command, as shown in the exhibit. References:
