Overview PCNSE Exam Questions :
Palo Alto Networks technology is highly integrated and automated. The Palo Alto Networks product portfolio comprises multiple separate technologies working in unison to prevent successful cyberattacks. The Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer (PCNSE) demonstrates that engineers can correctly deploy and configure Palo Alto Networks Next-Generation Firewalls while leveraging the rest of the platform.
Target Audience
Anyone who uses Palo Alto Networks products, including network security engineers, system engineers, systems integrators, and support engineers.
How much does the Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer cost?
The Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer or PCNSE costs $175. There are no prerequisite exams, certifications or courses to take before you attempt the PCNSE, so $175 is the total cost. But remember, the Palo Alto Networks Certified Network Security Engineer isn’t easy, and there are no refunds for failed tests. So the PCNSE only costs $175 if you can pass it on your first try.

Andy Wilson –
These practice exams are challenging enough to let you take the real exam without too much worries. Some questions are actually more difficult that the actual exam!
I recommend doing one practice exam per day max, and reading through all the explanations (even if you got the question right)
Zuhayr Ansari –
Passed and compared these prep exams to other providers, skillcertpro offering was the best in quality and price point.
All questions were on the mark compared to the real exam and helped me to be prepared.
Clovis Bonheur –
I just passed the exam! It wasn’t easy but I can say that this course helped me a lot, from this course I learned many new things and it is basically the same difficulty level you should expect to see in the actual exam. If you are taking these mock exams and you are passing with 90 or more I would say that It is highly probable that you should pass it.
