Introducing the NGFW/Panorama Management Certificate Expiration alert that detects the upcoming expiration of the NGFW or Panorama Management certificate on devices by April 7, 2024. When these certificates expire, it results in a loss of connection between Panorama and NGFWs, M-Series appliances operating in PAN-DB private cloud mode, WildFire appliances (WF500/B), and Peer Panoramas, regardless of their management or Log Collector modes. Consequently, expired certificates compromise centralized management and visibility, posing security risks and operational inefficiencies. This alert helps you identify the PAN-OS devices within your network that are susceptible to this issue and provides information about the remediation options.

The probable cause analysis is enhanced to use the Cortex Data Lake (CDL) logs and provide additional metadata to identify the probable cause that led to the creation of an alert or incident. This analysis enables pinpointing the policies, applications, source zones, URLs, source IPs, and regions potentially causing the alert, thereby facilitating appropriate remediation actions. For instance, when session exhaustion triggers an Adverse Resource Usage alert, you can utilize the probable cause analysis to identify the primary contributors to the alert and follow the suggested remediation recommendations.
