Question 1

Prisma Cloud supports which three external systems that allow the import of vulnerabilities and provide additional context on risks in the cloud? (Choose three.)



Answer : B, C, D

Similarly, Prisma Cloud integration with external systems such as Amazon GuardDuty, AWS Inspector, Qualys, and Tenable allow you to import vulnerabilities and provide additional context on risks in the cloud. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/prisma/prisma-cloud/prisma-cloud-admin/configure-external-integrations-on-prisma-cloud


Question 2

A customer wants to monitor its Amazon Web Services (AWS) accounts via Prisma Cloud, but only needs the resource configuration to be monitored at present.

Which two pieces of information are needed to onboard this account? (Choose two.)



Answer : A, D

To onboard an AWS account for monitoring by Prisma Cloud, specifically for resource configuration monitoring, the required pieces of information include:

A . External ID: The External ID is a unique identifier used in the trust relationship between Prisma Cloud and the AWS account, ensuring secure access, making it a correct choice.

D . RoleARN: The Role Amazon Resource Name (RoleARN) is necessary to grant Prisma Cloud the required permissions to access and monitor the AWS account resources, making it a correct choice. Option B (CloudTrail) is related to AWS logging but is not required solely for onboarding. Option C (Active Directory ID) is not relevant to AWS account onboarding for Prisma Cloud.


Question 3

A security team has a requirement to ensure the environment is scanned for vulnerabilities. What are three options for configuring vulnerability policies? (Choose three.)



Answer : A, C, D

https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/prisma/prisma-cloud/prisma-cloud-admin-compute/vulnerability_management/vuln_management_rules

Configuring vulnerability policies within Prisma Cloud involves several options that cater to different aspects of vulnerability management and policy enforcement. Options A, C, and D are valid configurations for vulnerability policies:

A . Individual actions based on package type allow for tailored responses to vulnerabilities found in specific types of software packages, enabling more granular control over the remediation process.

C . Applying policies only when a vendor fix is available helps prioritize the remediation of vulnerabilities for which a patch or update has been released by the software vendor, ensuring efficient use of resources in addressing the most actionable security issues.

D . Setting individual grace periods for each severity level allows organizations to define different time frames for addressing vulnerabilities based on their severity, enabling a prioritized and risk-based approach to vulnerability management.

These configurations support a comprehensive vulnerability management strategy by allowing customization and prioritization based on the nature of the vulnerability, the availability of fixes, and the risk level associated with each vulnerability.


Question 4

Review this admission control policy:

match[{"msg": msg}] { input.request.operation == "CREATE" input.request.kind.kind == "Pod" input.request.resource.resource == "pods"

input.request.object.spec.containers[_].securityContext.privileged msg := "Privileged"

}

Which response to this policy will be achieved when the effect is set to ''block''?



Answer : D

The given admission control policy is designed to evaluate pod creation requests in a Kubernetes environment, specifically targeting the creation of privileged pods, which can pose significant security risks.

Option D: The policy will block the creation of a privileged pod is the correct answer when the effect of the policy is set to ''block''. In this context, the policy's logic checks if a pod being created is set to run in privileged mode (a high-risk configuration that grants the pod extended system privileges). If such a configuration is detected, the policy triggers an action to block the pod's creation, thereby preventing the deployment of privileged pods that could undermine the security posture of the Kubernetes environment.


Kubernetes Admission Controllers Documentation: Provides a comprehensive overview of admission controllers in Kubernetes, including how they can be used to enforce policy decisions, such as preventing the creation of privileged pods.

Best Practices for Kubernetes Security: Discusses the importance of admission control policies in maintaining the security and integrity of Kubernetes environments, with specific emphasis on the risks associated with privileged pods.

Question 5

Given the following JSON query:

$.resource[*].aws_s3_bucket exists

Which tab is the correct place to add the JSON query when creating a Config policy?



Answer : E

When creating a Config policy in Prisma Cloud and incorporating a JSON query, the correct place to add this query is under the 'Build Your Rule (Build tab)' (Option E). This section allows users to define the criteria and conditions for the policy, including specifying JSON or RQL (Resource Query Language) queries that articulate the policy's logic. The 'Details' (Option A) tab is typically used for general information about the policy, such as its name and description. The 'Compliance Standards' (Option B) tab is for associating the policy with specific compliance frameworks. The 'Remediation' (Option C) tab provides guidance on how to remediate any issues detected by the policy. The 'Build Your Rule (Run tab)' (Option D) is not a standard option in Prisma Cloud policy configuration.


Question 6

What must be created in order to receive notifications about alerts generated when the operator is away from the Prisma Cloud Console?



Answer : C

https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/prisma/prisma-cloud/prisma-cloud-admin/manage-prisma-cloud-alerts/prisma-cloud-alert-notifications


Question 7

A customer wants to harden its environment from misconfiguration.

Prisma Cloud Compute Compliance enforcement for hosts covers which three options? (Choose three.)



Answer : A, B, D

Prisma Cloud Compute Compliance enforcement for hosts covers several aspects to ensure a secure and compliant host environment, particularly within containerized environments. These include:

Docker daemon configuration files: Ensuring that Docker daemon configuration files are set up according to best security practices is crucial. These files contain various settings that control the behavior of the Docker daemon, and misconfigurations can lead to security vulnerabilities.

Docker daemon configuration: Beyond just the configuration files, the overall configuration of the Docker daemon itself is critical. This encompasses runtime settings and command-line options that determine how Docker containers are executed and managed on the host.

Host configuration: The security of the underlying host on which Docker and other container runtimes are installed is paramount. This includes the configuration of the host's operating system, network settings, file permissions, and other system-level settings that can impact the security of the containerized applications running on top.

By focusing on these areas, Prisma Cloud ensures that not just the containers but also the environment they run in is secure, adhering to compliance standards and best practices to mitigate risks associated with containerized deployments.
