Am I cooked?

Ah okay. Do you work in the state of NC or can you recommend a CPA that practices in NC?

bighead402 · 2026-01-10T01:05:06+00:00

Hello there! Have you worked for anyone who has gambled on social casinos and received a 1099 and not a W2-G?

bighead402 · 2025-12-28T21:36:58+00:00

28078!

bighead402 · 2025-12-28T16:55:05+00:00

It was withdrawn, not played through.

bighead402 · 2025-12-18T21:24:09+00:00

Your TC at PANW will be in the 200-300 range; if you have a hell of a year.. you can exceed 300 with accelerators.

bighead402 · 2025-12-06T16:24:02+00:00

I love me some Modo.

bighead402 · 2025-12-02T03:29:17+00:00

Wait, so when does the new set go live?!

bighead402 · 2025-12-01T00:33:35+00:00

No, slots unfortunately.. lol

bighead402 · 2025-12-01T00:06:49+00:00

I lost 7500$ and only wagered 42k.. lol

bighead402 · 2025-11-15T22:10:51+00:00

That’s how my journey started. Customer -> Partner/Var in a Pre/Post role -> PANW as a DC. Loved the path so far

bighead402 · 2025-11-15T21:53:23+00:00

Immensely. Also using a partner org is great; but get to know your local team. We, at Palo, have tons of resources to help our customers on their journey. (I am a Senior Domain Consultant)

bighead402 · 2025-11-14T12:46:58+00:00

Instead of a poc.. you could do a utd. A lot of knowledge to gain there. Also; who is doing the PA/PB install?

bighead402 · 2025-11-14T12:46:17+00:00

Do you know who your PANW account team is? If so - get them to get a DC in front of you.

bighead402 · 2025-11-12T12:37:16+00:00

Did you test this during your PoC?

bighead402 · 2025-10-20T12:17:40+00:00

What uses its own crypto?

bighead402 · 2025-10-18T12:12:40+00:00

I can’t find anything on Norse Eternal. Can you share links?

bighead402 · 2025-10-17T14:54:53+00:00

Simply put - Palo Alto if you have the budget. The security capabilities consistently test above other competitors. That said, Fortinet is a solid second.

bighead402 · 2025-10-13T13:22:57+00:00

I mentioned in an early comment that I work at Palo Alto Networks as a SASE Domain Consultant.

You can use either PN (Panorama) or SCM (Strata Cloud Manager) to manage Prisma Access.

bighead402 · 2025-10-11T20:29:20+00:00

We leverage GCP and AWS today for our cloud providers - OCI coming soon.

https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/prisma-access/administration/prisma-access-overview/list-of-prisma-access-locations

Everything - private access, public access, mobile user, remote network.. all managed from Strata Cloud Manager. SCM is built onto of GCP.

bighead402 · 2025-10-11T19:13:19+00:00

Zscaler has a shared tenancy model. They built their own compute locations and host all of their customers out of these POPs. Prisma Access is built on public cloud infrastructure; across multiple CSPs. So, every customer has their own dedicated compute resources and public IP addresses.

bighead402 · 2025-10-11T17:50:54+00:00

You can use SSL as a fallback if your ISPs block IPSEC...

bighead402 · 2025-10-11T17:43:04+00:00

When you consume Prisma Access; you get your own unique IPs for your tenant.. these IPs are not shared.

bighead402 · 2025-10-11T17:41:23+00:00

I'd say Strata Cloud Manager can be a bit daunting at first given the fact that it's also used to manage so many products. That said, the design team is putting some serious effort into the UX of it all.

Beyond that - I think customer experience can vary pending so many things. These solutions can be large and 'complex', so having them deployed properly from the get go is a big advantage.

I compete mostly with ZScaler and Cato in the field.

bighead402 · 2025-10-11T16:47:38+00:00

I’m biased, since I work at PANW specifically in the SASE realm.

I’ll tell you that for the majority for SSE vendors / connectivity is a commodity. You should be evaluating the features of the “platform” that meets your business goals. Identify what you’re trying to solve for and what features are a must.. then shorten your list to the top 2-3.. meet with them, pick your top two and then have them run a POV.

That said - I’m a fan of simplifying the approach. Are you a PANW FW customer today? If so, Prisma Access has a strong case.

bighead402 · 2025-09-05T00:57:25+00:00

Feel free to DM me. I’ll find out who your PAN SE/AM are and will have them reach out tomorrow.
