Auto VPN allows you to configure secure connectivity between your managed firewalls using SD-WAN. Peers in the VPN cluster use a pre-shared key to mutually authenticate each other. To strengthen your security posture, Palo Alto Networks recommends refreshing the pre-shared keys used for authenticating VPN tunnels for existing VPN clusters periodically to ensure your VPN tunnels are not compromised.
Refreshing the pre-shared key may cause a temporary service disruption. To avoid impact to your business, Palo Alto Networks recommends scheduling a maintenance window to ensure you can resolve and service disruption issues outsides of business hours.
