https://killexams.com/exam_list/Palo-AltoPalo Alto Networks Steps Up Endpoint Security Game With Certification Of Traps As AV Replacement
Palo Alto Networks is stepping up its next-generation endpoint security game, with the announcement Tuesday that its Traps technology has received third-party PCI and HIPAA certification as a replacement for legacy antivirus.
Coalfire Systems, a Qualified Security Assessor, completed an independent analysis of Traps, including technical testing, design review, architecture and supporting documentation, and expert interviews, and found the advanced endpoint protection offering allows organizations to meet or remain compliant with HIPAA and PCI regulations around endpoint security.
The announcement is significant for Traps, because with it the technology joins the few next-generation endpoint security solutions that are certified as an antivirus replacement, including SentinelOne and Cylance. Sources told CRN that Palo Alto Networks had eyed at least one of those companies, SentinelOne, for acquisition in latest months.
’Earning compliance was the last piece they needed, and with this announcement, objections based on requirements around compliance standards are addressed and partners can position Traps as a viable replacement for legacy antivirus solutions. The endpoint market is at an inflection point and together, with their partners, they are poised to capitalize,’ Dal Gemmell, head of Traps marketing at Palo Alto Networks, said in an email to CRN.
Jon Robinson, president of Digital Scepter, an Irvine, Calif.-based Palo Alto Networks partner, said the launch is significant because it ’unlocks’ customers who need antivirus solutions, but are looking for a better alternative than legacy solutions. Robinson said his business has been seeing strong traction for Traps, but he expects the certification will make it an ’easier sell’ to customers who have a dedicated budget for AV and can now put that money towards a certified alternative like Traps.
’This is definitely a watershed moment because people have this latent desire to get rid of AV… Everyone has been waiting for this moment where they can get Traps and AV in the same product,’ Robinson said.
Palo Alto Networks has been looking to make a play in the endpoint security market since its $200 million acquisition of Cyvera in 2014, which it now sells as its Traps solution. While multiple partners said they have seen slow sales or been hesitant to sell the solution, CEO Mark McLaughlin said the company has hit an ’inflection point’ when it comes to Traps and saw ’really great growth’ in the second half of its fiscal year.
In addition to the new independent analysis, Palo Alto Networks rolled out version 3.4 updates to Traps in August, including static analysis via machine learning, trusted publisher identification, quarantine of malicious executables, and grayware classification.
Andrew Nowinski, senior research analyst at Piper Jaffray, said the new certification gives Palo Alto Networks the opportunity to address a much larger market for enterprise endpoint security, and potentially displace legacy antivirus vendors like McAfee and Symantec. That certification, combined with the version 3.4 updates rolled out this summer, could be a ’game changer’ for Palo Alto Networks in the endpoint security market where it has been slower to gain traction, he said.
’It certainly was slow prior to that because incremental purchase for customers…It really wasn’t much of a viable solution. Now you have more capabilities, you have the certification and I think you will start to see it gaining traction really quickly,’ Nowinski said.
Gemmell said he expects the new certification will ’remove the hurdle’ for customers looking to adopt Traps, but have faced regulatory compliance standards.
’This announcement continues the momentum and increases market awareness that Traps, with its unique multi-method approach to threat prevention and native integration with the Palo Alto Networks next-generation security platform, provides a viable solution for partners looking for an effective alternative to legacy AV solutions,’ Gemmell said.

EAST PALO ALTO, CA
That common ground was actually a basketball court, however the game itself was only part of the point.
"Why are police officers so rude sometimes?" asked one young man.
"Somebody call you, it takes like 30 minutes to get there..." said another.
East Palo Alto teens at the Boys and Girls Club wanted to know why local police have been behaving the way they have towards young people, especially those that are caught doing something illegal. It is the first time these teens have had this opportunity.
Officer Richard Barries, his wife Veronica, and Clay Warford, are three of the East Palo Alto police officers who organized the question and answer period at the Boys and Girls Club.
The talk was held just before the first ever basketball game between officers and the staff and members of the club. It was a night of getting to know their local police.
"So I thought this would be an opportunity to where they could build a relationship with them," said Richard.
Richard said police are having a lot of trouble with youth in the city. That is why an 11 p.m. curfew is now in place for anyone under age 18.
"...a lot of things from robbing cars to shooting, so pretty much every crime that you hear being committed. We're just trying to reduce a lot of those crimes and show them that we're out here to help them," said Richard.
"Alcohol, why did it become such a big deal and you go to court?" asked 14-year-old Everline Vargas.
"Alcohol is very dangerous," said Richard.
Alcohol, teen pregnancy, and drug abuse are just some of the Topics covered, as well as some of the consequences for breaking the law.
"He was cool. I liked how if you didn't know something about the law, that you kind of know it now," said 13-year-old Yomanee Rhodes.
"It was like inspiring and it really helped," said 13-year-old Diana Molina.
"I think it is going to help me later on to think about my consequences," said Vargas.
Organizers hope that activities like this will help build a bridge between youth and police and perhaps even reduce crime.
Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:PANW) stock is poised to be a commercial winner in 2024: As suggested by various CIO surveys, Cybersecurity demand is expected to accelerate momentum in 2024, likely setting up Palo Alto for a close to 20% topline expansion. On that note, investors should consider that Palo Alto's incremental revenue should be highly value accretive for shareholders, as the cybersecurity giant is generating about 0.33 cents of free cash flow for every dollar of incremental sales. However, despite the favorable business backdrop, PANW shares are trading too expensive to warrant an investment, in my opinion. On updated valuation estimates, I now estimate PANW's intrinsic worth at about $162/ share.
Last time I covered Palo Alto stock, I mistakenly argued that a guidance cut would be incoming, following a negative cross read from Fortinet's (FTNT)Q2 results.In this article, I adjust my view to a stronger-than expected commercial backdrop.
For context, Palo Alto stock has strongly outperformed the broad equities market YTD, also when compared to the "Tech" benchmark. Since the start of the year, PANW shares are up about 113%, compared to a gain of approximately 25% for the S&P 500 (SP500) and a gain of close to 55% for the Nasdaq tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (QQQ).
Seeking Alpha
2024 May Support A Cybersecurity Bull Market
As they approach 2024, I see a supportive backdrop for IT budgets. This perspective anchors on various Q3 conference call discussions about gradual shortening sales cycles for new clients and the compression of billing cycles for existing customer base. The set-up going into 2024 looks especially attractive for Cybersecurity spending. Investors should consider that not only is the year 2024 likely seeing geopolitical tensions, but also by emerging security challenges anchored on the evolution of GenAI, e.g. deep-fakes, data poisoning, adversarial attacks, etc. Moreover, Palo Alto management has previously highlighted that as of first quarter FY 2024, ransomware attacks have increased 37% YoY, while attack speed on data exfiltration has accelerated from 9 days two years ago to 2 days as of today.
PANW FY24Q1 reporting
On that note, I point out insights derived from the Piper Sandler 2024 CIO Survey (research note dated 11th December), which suggests that Security spending is the top investment priority for 2024, with 89% of respondents expecting an increased spend, and 22% expecting material (>25%) increases in spending over the coming year. Moreover, within the Security spending vertical the top spending categories were Cloud Security, Endpoint Security, Threat Intelligence, as well as Network Detection & Response -- capabilities that play into Palo Alto's strengths.
A similar takeaway about a bullish spending backdrop for Cybersecurity was confirmed by UBS Evidence Lab AI Survey (research note dated 17th December). According to the survey's insights, the advent of GenAI will result in expanding IT budgets, with Security being a key concern in relation to GenAI applications:
It was clear from the survey results that it wasn’t just Microsoft that was being used to secure AI applications, most were using multiple vendors. Among the “pure-play” security firms, Zscaler and Palo Alto Networks were by far the most frequently-cited, and they both screened well on forward adoption plans as well. Nearly a quarter of their respondents plan to use Zscaler to secure access to GenAI applications and 19% plan to use Palo Alto.
Lastly, there's an emerging trend indicating a desire among software buyers to streamline their vendor relationships. This trend hints at the likelihood of a consolidation wave within the SaaS enterprise sector in 2024, including Cybersecurity. In fact, the Cybersecurity vendor landscape looks quite fragmented, with Palo Alto Networks, Zscaler, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, Fortinet, Microsoft, Cisco, Okta, etc. While Palo Alto may not necessarily be a major buyer in 2024, with only about $1.7 billion of net cash on the balance sheet, I argue that a consolidation should be supportive for the industry's competitive backdrop.
20% Revenue Growth Looks Reasonable
Palo Alto Networks' portfolio of cloud security solutions aligns seamlessly with the 2024 escalating demand for cloud protection; and I broadly agree with analyst consensus projections that Palo Alto's topline in FY 2024 should expand at about 20% YoY vs FY 2023.
Seeking Alpha
On revenue, analyst consensus broadly aligns with PANW management guidance, who sees revenues for FY 2024 in the range of $8.15 to 8.2 billion. Moreover, management has projected that operating income growth will outpace topline expansion, with operating margin estimated +190 to 240 basis points. If this projection would materialize, PANW's earnings per share could be up 22-25% YoY, reaching about $5.46 at midpoint.
PANW FY24Q1 reporting
Adjust Target Price to $162.22
Reflecting a bullish backdrop, and in line with updated analyst consensus EPS estimates for PANW through 2025, I adjust my residual earnings model for the company's stock: For FY 2024, I now estimate that Palo Alto's EPS will likely fall within the range of between $5.3 and 5.7 (non-GAAP). For FY 2025, and FY 2026 I set my EPS expectation at $26.4 and $7.8, respectively. Lastly, while I maintain my terminal growth rate input at about 150 basis point above expected nominal U.S. GDP growth, at 4.25%, I reduce my cost of equity assumption by 50 basis points, mostly as a consequence of the pending Fed rate cut projections.
On the backdrop of the adjustments highlighted above, I now calculate a fair implied stock price for PANW stock equal to $162.22, suggesting approximately 38% downside based on fundamentals.

Below also the sensitivity table, which tests different assumptions for cost of equity (row) as well as terminal growth rate (column).
PANW financials, author's estimates and calculation
Investor Takeaway
Going into 2024, Palo Alto is seen leveraging strong momentum in Cybersecurity budgets to achieve strong topline and earnings growth, estimated at 20% and 23.5% YoY respectively. However, although I like the commercial backdrop, it is impossible for me to justify either a "Buy" or "Hold" rating for a stock that is trading at a 11x FY 2024 EV/Sales and 43x FY 2024 EV/EBIT. On updated valuation estimates, I now estimate PANW's intrinsic worth at $162; and as a function of valuation, I assign an Underweight/ Sell rating.

The correct answer is D, A/D converter. A digital controller requires a digital signal as its input. A 4-20 mA transmitter outputs an analog signal. Therefore, a device to convert an analog (A) signal to a digital (D) is required. This class of device is referred to as an A/D converter.
An I/P transducer is used to convert an analog current (I) signal to a pneumatic (P) signal, as for actuation of final control elements. A P/I transducer is used to convert a pneumatic signal (P) to an analog current (I) signal, as for a pneumatic transmitter in a programmable logic controller loop. A DP transmitter is a differential pressure transmitter, which can output a pneumatic, an analog, or a digital signal, depending on the model of transmitter used.
Reference: Goettsche, L.D. (Editor), Maintenance of Instruments and Systems, Second Edition, ISA, 2005.
The correct answer is C, "sample conditioning system."Â Answers A and C are items not generally associated with extractive field analyzers. Capillary tubes are used for collecting small samples (water, for instance) from a larger container. There are special capillary tubes that can be used in the analyzer chamber of a gas chromatograph, but they are not constructed from glass. Smooth-walled pipe is important for reducing friction losses in piping systems.
A trial probe calibration system is important to the overall function and maintenance of an extractive field analyzer. However, these systems are not used to prepare the trial for analysis, but rather to provide a mechanism to verify and maintain analyzer performance.
A trial conditioning system can contain devices, such as filters, demisters, flow regulators, and heaters. trial conditioning systems are used to bring the trial to the ideal process conditions for accurate measurement in the analyzer itself. The trial conditioning system can be a key maintenance item in an analyzer system, since each device needs to be calibrated, cleaned, etc.
Reference: Goettsche, L.D. (Editor), Maintenance of Instruments and Systems, Second Edition, ISA, 2005.
The correct answer is B, "equal to." In order for air to be discharged from the end of a bubbler purge tube, the air pressure in the tube must be equal to (or higher than) the pressure exerted by the liquid head in the tank.
As the tank level is decreased, the liquid head pressure at the tip of the purge tube decreases, and more bubbles per unit of time can escape. The corresponding reduction in pressure in the purge tube is proportional to the level in the tank. Therefore, the point at which the liquid head pressure and the purge tube pressure are equal is the highest level (URV = 100%) that the device will measure.
Reference: Goettsche, L.D. (Editor), Maintenance of Instruments and Systems, Second Edition, ISA, 2005.
The correct answer is A, "51 K ohms ± 5%."
The four-color band coding is: Color   Value   Multiplier Black   0   1 Brown   1   10 Red   2   100 Orange   3   1000 Yellow   4   10 K Green   5   100K Blue   6   1 M Violet   7   10 M Gray   8    White   9    Gold   ± 5%   0.1 Silver   ± 10%   0.01
So a resistor with four bands, green-brown-orange-gold, has a value of: 5 1 x 1000 ± 5% or 51 KΩ.
Reference: Goettsche, L.D. (Editor), Maintenance of Instruments and Systems, Second Edition, ISA, 2005.
The correct answer is D, series and energized. To measure current, you must connect the two leads of the ammeter in the circuit so that the current flows through the ammeter. In other words, the ammeter must become a part of the circuit itself. The only way to measure the current flowing through a simple circuit is to insert your ammeter into the circuit (in series) with the circuit energized.
Reference: Goettsche, L.D. (Editor), Maintenance of Instruments and Systems, Second Edition, ISA, 2005.
The correct answer is A; it prevents the formation of a second temperature measurement junction.
A thermocouple measurement junction is formed wherever two dissimilar metals are joined. KX-type thermocouple extension wire is made of the same metals as the K-type thermocouple (chromel and alumel). When extending the thermocouple leads with an extension wire back to the control system input card, KX thermocouple extension wire must be used, and the chromel wire and the alumel wire must be joined to the wire of the same metal in the extension cable. If JX or another type of extension wire is used, another measurement junction is formed. For instance, if JX extension cable is used in the example in this problem, the point where the iron and chromel wires are joined would form another thermocouple. This will negatively affect the intended measurement signal. Proper installation of thermocouple extension wires also requires special terminal blocks to prevent additional junctions from being formed.
Reference: Goettsche, L.D. (Editor), Maintenance of Instruments and Systems, Second Edition, ISA, 2005.
The correct answer is B, "hydraulic actuation." Although many pneumatic actuators can provide a large force, they require either a large diaphragm area (in the case of a diaphragm actuator) or a large cylinder (in the case of a rack and pinion actuator).
Hydraulic actuators are driven by a high-pressure fluid (up to 4,000 psig) that can be delivered to the actuator by a pump that is remote from the actuator itself. Hydraulic cylinders can deliver up to 25 times more force than a pneumatic cylinder of the same size.
Manual actuation is accomplished by turning a valve handle, and is limited to the amount of force that an operator can exert on the lever or hand wheel.
Electric actuation delivers high torques for rotary-style valves, but electric actuators tend to be large and heavy compared to hydraulic actuators.
Reference: Goettsche, L.D. (Editor), Maintenance of Instruments and Systems, Second Edition, ISA, 2005.
The correct answer is D; they measure pressure by sensing the deflection of the diaphragm. For most pressure applications, changes in pressure are detected by the change in deflection of a measuring diaphragm.
The deflection is converted into an electrical signal (voltage) by a piezoelectric or capacitance device. The small electrical current is converted to a standard signal (e.g., 4-20 mA or a digital signal) by a transmitter. Therefore, answer B is not correct.
Answer A is not correct, because pressure sensors can measure very small pressure changes (inches of water) and in some cases, millimeters of water.
Pressure measurement devices are not affected by volume, since they are measuring force over an area only. Many pressure sensors are sensitive to temperature (capillary tubes are filled with fluids that can expand with temperature). Therefore, answer C is not correct.
Reference: Goettsche, L.D. (Editor), Maintenance of Instruments and Systems, Second Edition, ISA, 2005.
The correct answer is C, "Gather information about the problem."Â Once a problem is identified, data must be gathered and analyzed to determine a viable set of potential actions and solutions.
The logical analysis troubleshooting method consists of (in order): 1. Identify and define the problem. 2. Gather information about the problem. 3. Evaluate the information/data. 4. Propose a solution or develop a test. 5. Implement the solution or conduct the test. 6. Evaluate the results of the solution or test. 7. If the problem is not resolved, reiterate until the problem is found and resolved. 8. If the problem is resolved: document, store/file, and send to the appropriate department for follow up if required.
Reference: Goettsche, L.D. (Editor), Maintenance of Instruments and Systems, Second Edition, ISA, 2005.
The correct answer is B, “location, elevation, and tag number.” Instrument location plans are most often used to support new plant installations and give the installer information about the actual physical location of the installation of an instrument, the elevation of installation (at grade, on a platform, at what height on a process line, etc.), and the tag number of the instrument to be installed.
Specification numbers (part of answers C and D) are usually indicated on instrument lists and instrument installation details. Wiring plans (part of answer A) are typically shown on conduit and wiring schedules or cabling diagrams. Although these details are useful in the installation of a plant, they are not part of the instrument installation plans.

We continue to be buy-rated on CyberArk (NASDAQ:CYBR). 3Q23 results and outlook confirm their belief that CYBR is better positioned to outperform as the transition to the SaaS business model completes; this quarter, subscription bookings made up 97% of license bookings in the quarter, higher than 87% in the year-ago quarter. Our focus for CYBR is its annual recurring revenue or ARR growth to track both the cybersecurity demand environment and traction for CYBR offerings; in their opinion, ARR is a key performance metric for SaaS companies to measure success and identify potential risks, and hence, they use it for CYBR as the company is soon to wrap up its SaaS business model transition. Our bullish sentiment on CYBR is largely driven by the company's steadily increasing ARR growth rate Y/Y, which they believe indicates a solid product-market fit into 2024.
The company reported 38% Y/Y ARR growth this quarter to $705M, of which 72% accounted for the subscription portion and grew 68% Y/Y. Next quarter, they think CYBR will be better positioned to grow ARR as it's estimated to have a strong base of recurring revenues, with 91% of quarterly revenue being recurring in nature in 3Q23. Management now guides for revenue in the range of $206.5-211.5M in 4Q23, representing a 22-25% Y/Y growth; they believe CYBR will be able to beat consensus estimates for the quarter at $209.33M comfortably. They expect a similar beat in 4Q23 as they did this quarter, where management surpassed guidance and consensus, reporting 25% Y/Y growth to $191.2M.
The following outlines CYBR's recurring revenue in 3Q23.

Additionally, they see room for higher Y/Y revenue growth in FY24 guidance expected to be announced next quarter; for FY23, management estimates revenue to be in the range of $735.3M to $740.3M, representing a 24-25% Y/Y growth in comparison to FY22. Given the expanding threat landscape and increased urgency for identity security solutions, they see FY24 guidance being materially higher. They expect the demand environment to Strengthen in 2024 due to the combined impact of the pandemic-incited shift to remote work and the ongoing digital business transformation that has raised awareness of cybersecurity concerns. Hence, they see more room for FY24 revenue growth to be in the higher double-digit range Y/Y.
We believe CYBR will continue to be among the top cyber names due to its diversified product offerings that allow it to capture demand from both new clients and old clients within its install base. The stock price movement reflects the higher investor confidence in the identity security solution provider over the past two months. Since their buy-rating in early September, the stock has outperformed the S&P 500 by ~24%. Over the past six months, the stock outperforms the S&P 500 by roughly 34% and 25% over the past three months. They see more upside potential in 2024 as IT spending rebounds; Gartner now projects IT spend to rebound 8% Y/Y in 2024. They recommend investors explore entry points into the stock at current levels.
The following outlines their rating history on CYBR.
Seeking Alpha
CYBR is not without risk. The company, along with the broader cybersecurity peer group, is exposed to macro headwinds weighing on enterprise budgets and IT spend. They think the company will be relatively resilient as cybersecurity remains a top priority heading into 2024. They also think that CYBR has the upper hand in its competition against Okta (OKTA) in the identity security market after OKTA suffered the cyber breach earlier this year. They expect customers to prefer CYBR over OKTA in 1H24 and, hence, see more traction on the platform.
CYBR also faced a headwind on revenue growth, which is its perpetual license wind-down process, but they now think this headwind is easing as the company completes its transition to a SaaS business model. They see a more favorable risk-reward profile for the stock heading into 2024.
Valuation
The stock is fairly valued, in their opinion. On a P/E basis, CYBR is trading at 128.5x C2024 EPS $1.71 compared to the peer group average of 112.8x. The stock is trading at 9.6x EV/C2024 Sales versus the peer group average of 9.0x. They think CYBR should be valued on an EV/Sales ratio and view the company as a growth stock. Additionally, they believe the company deserves a higher multiple for its ARR growth and may re-rate to one in 1H24.

Word on Wall Street
Wall Street shares their bullish sentiment on the stock; the 31 analysts covering the stock are buy-rated. They see more upside potential in 2024 due to the expected rebound in IT spending next year. The stock is currently priced at $220 with a median sell-side price-target of $190 and a mean of $189 with a downside of 14%. They think the downside is due to the stock's run-up over the past six months and expect price targets to reset higher in 2024.

What to do with the stock
We continue to buy-rated on CYBR. They think CYBR will continue to be relatively resilient to macro uncertainty, similar to Palo Alto Networks (PANW) and CrowdStrike (CRWD). They believe ARR will continue to accelerate further as CYBR and see increased incentive for customer spend on cybersecurity as AI is weaponized by attackers and the cyber threat landscape expands; according to Gartner, the worldwide end-user spend on cybersecurity and risk management is estimated to increase 14.3% in 2024 from this year. They recommend investors add to their position opportunistically to ride the upward trend in 2024.
