Question 1

Anomaly policy uses which two logs to identify unusual network and user activity? (Choose two.)



Answer : A, B

Anomaly policies in Prisma Cloud utilize Network flow logs (A) and Audit logs (B) to identify unusual network and user activities. Network flow logs provide visibility into the traffic flow across the network, helping detect anomalies in communication patterns that might indicate malicious activities or network misconfigurations. Audit logs record user actions within the system, offering insights into potentially unauthorized or suspicious operations that could compromise security. By analyzing these logs, anomaly policies can effectively pinpoint irregularities that deviate from established baselines, enabling timely detection and response to potential security threats.


Question 2

When configuring SSO how many IdP providers can be enabled for all the cloud accounts monitored by Prisma Cloud?



Answer : C

Prisma Cloud supports configuring Single Sign-On (SSO) with Identity Providers (IdPs) to streamline user authentication processes. However, for all the cloud accounts monitored by Prisma Cloud, only one IdP provider can be enabled at any given time. This limitation ensures a unified authentication mechanism across the platform, reducing complexity and potential security risks associated with managing multiple IdP configurations.


Question 3

What is the most reliable and extensive source for documentation on Prisma Cloud APIs?



Answer : A

Prisma Cloud's API documentation and extensive developer resources are primarily hosted on prisma.pan.dev, which is Palo Alto Networks' developer portal. This site offers comprehensive guides, API references, and resources for developers to integrate, automate, and extend the capabilities of Prisma Cloud within their applications and workflows. While docs.paloaltonetworks.com provides official product documentation, and Prisma Cloud Administrator's Guide offers in-depth administrative guidance, prisma.pan.dev is specifically designed to serve as the hub for API documentation and developer resources. The Live Community is another valuable resource for peer support and discussions but is not the primary source for API documentation.

Question 4

Which IAM Azure RQL query would correctly generate an output to view users who have sufficient permissions to create security groups within Azure AD and create applications?



Answer : D

The correct RQL query to view users who have sufficient permissions to create security groups within Azure AD and create applications is option D. This query is specifically designed to assess policies within Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) by checking the authorization policy settings related to user default role permissions. The query targets the azure-active-directory-authorization-policy API to fetch configurations (config from cloud.resource) and then filters those configurations based on the JSON rules that dictate whether users are allowed to create security groups (defaultUserRolePermissions.allowedToCreateSecurityGroups is true) and applications (defaultUserRolePermissions.allowedToCreateApps is true). This query provides a comprehensive check by ensuring both conditions are met, which is necessary for users to have the combined capabilities of creating security groups and applications within Azure AD.

In the context of Prisma Cloud and cloud security principles, the RQL (Resource Query Language) is utilized for querying the configuration state of resources within cloud environments to ensure compliance with security policies. The RQL syntax in option D precisely aligns with the requirements for identifying users with specific permissions, leveraging Prisma Cloud's capability to provide visibility and control over cloud resources, as emphasized in various resources like the 'Prisma Cloud Visibility and Control Qualification Guide' and the 'Guide to Cloud Security Posture Management Tools.' These documents highlight the importance of continuous monitoring and validation of cloud resource configurations to maintain a secure and compliant cloud environment, which is effectively achieved through targeted RQL queries like the one in option D.


'Prisma Cloud Visibility and Control Qualification Guide' discusses the importance of visibility and compliance in cloud environments, which is directly applicable to the use of RQL for querying resource configurations.

'Guide to Cloud Security Posture Management Tools' emphasizes the need for comprehensive visibility and governance across cloud environments, further supporting the rationale behind the specific RQL query used to assess user permissions in Azure AD.

Question 7

Which two variables must be modified to achieve automatic remediation for identity and access management (IAM) alerts in Azure cloud? (Choose two.)



Answer : A, C

AZURE:

% export SB_QUEUE_KEY=your_sb_queue_key

% export SB_QUEUE_KEY_NAME=your_sb_queue_key_name

% export SB_QUEUE_NAME_SPACE=your_sb_queue_name_space
