The Prisma Cloud SecOps dashboard provides a centralized view of security posture and threats. To help security teams focus on specific areas of interest, the dashboard includes several filtering options. The most prominent filters are "Time Range," which allows users to view data for a specific period, and "Account Groups," which scopes the view to predefined collections of cloud accounts. These filters are essential for managing and analyzing security data across large, complex cloud environments.

C. Service Name: This is typically a filter available within more granular views like the Investigate page, not a primary filter on the main SecOps dashboard.

D. Cloud Region: While Cloud Region is also an available filter on the SecOps dashboard, Time Range and Account Groups are more fundamental for scoping the overall data view.

Build-time configuration policies scan Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) templates in the developer pipeline to prevent misconfigurations from reaching production. Run-time configuration policies evaluate already-deployed cloud resources continuously, flagging drift or insecure settings after the resource exists in the account.

A. Run and Network policies are separate policy sets; only Build/Run belong to Configuration policies.

C. Network policies inspect traffic flows, not resource configurations; run policies are configuration-focused, not network-focused.

Prisma Cloud, part of Palo Alto Networks' cloud security suite, offers Console images that can be

retrieved for deployment in various environments. The correct process for obtaining these images

involves using basic authentication with Docker, a widely-used containerization platform. Users must

first access the official Palo Alto Networks registry at registry.paloaltonetworks.com. Here, they are

required to authenticate using the "docker login" command, which prompts for credentials. Upon

successful authentication, users can then use the "docker pull" command to retrieve the Prisma

Cloud Console images. This method ensures secure access to the latest Console images for

deployment within an organization's infrastructure, aligning with best practices for container image

management and deployment.

To achieve the goal, the Slack integration must be configured first so it can be selected as a notification channel. Next, an alert rule is created and scoped specifically to the "Clinical Trials" account group. Within this rule, the policies are filtered to only include those with "High" severity. Finally, the notification is set to the pre-configured Slack channel, and the frequency is set to "As it Happens" to ensure immediate notification, fulfilling all requirements in the correct operational sequence.

B: The Slack integration must be configured before it can be used in an alert rule; this option places the integration step last, which is functionally incorrect.

C: This option omits the crucial step of selecting the "Clinical Trials" account group, failing to meet the requirement of scoping alerts to that specific group.

D: The order of operations is incorrect. An alert rule must be created before its specific tabs for policy selection and notification can be configured.

The "Relearn" function in Prisma Cloud Compute is designed to update an existing runtime model without discarding it. When anomalies are identified as false positives, it means the model is too restrictive. Initiating "Relearn" keeps the established model intact but enters a learning phase where new, legitimate behaviors (processes, network connections, etc.) are observed. These new behaviors are then added to the model, which can be reviewed and saved by the administrator, thus resolving the false positives.

A. Deleting the model and relearning from scratch for a fixed period is not the function of "Relearn"; this would be a more disruptive reset action.

B. Relearn does not automatically add all past anomalies; it initiates a new learning period to observe and incorporate new, persistent behaviors into the model.

C. This describes the action of clearing or resetting a model, which erases all learning. "Relearn" is an additive process that builds on the existing model.

"Prisma Cloud Compute Edition Administrator's Guide"

Version Darwin. Section: "Monitor > Runtime > Image analysis > Runtime model". The documentation explains that models are learned and can be refined. The "Relearn" feature is described as a method to augment an existing model with new

observed activity.

where "Relearn" is the mechanism to adapt the model to evolving application behavior without starting from zero.

Prisma Cloud Compute Defender is designed to secure containerized workloads across various environments. It offers specific, officially supported deployment methods for major container orchestrators. These include standard Kubernetes, Red Hat OpenShift (which is a Kubernetes distribution with added enterprise features), and Amazon's proprietary container orchestrator, Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS). These three represent the primary orchestrator types for which Defender deployment is actively supported and documented.

C. Support for Docker Swarm has been deprecated in recent versions of Prisma Cloud Compute and is not recommended for new deployments.

D. Azure Container Service (ACS) was a legacy Microsoft service that has been deprecated and replaced by Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), which is supported.

The primary purpose of Prisma Cloud Code Security is to "shift security left" by integrating security into the development lifecycle. It scans infrastructure-as-code (IaC) templates, such as Terraform and CloudFormation, and source code for misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and compliance violations directly within developer tools and CI/CD pipelines. By identifying and providing fixes for these issues before infrastructure is deployed, it prevents security flaws from ever reaching the production cloud environment, thus reducing the number of runtime alerts and incidents.

A. While developers interact with it, its main purpose is not to be a platform for creating policies, but for enforcing existing ones and finding flaws.

B. Triaging alerts in real-time during deployment is a function of runtime security or CI/CD security gates, whereas Code Security focuses on the pre-deployment phase.

D. This describes Application Performance Monitoring (APM), which is a separate domain from cloud security and focuses on application efficiency, not security misconfigurations.

Product Page. The official product description states

"Prisma Cloud secures infrastructure as code (IaC) and detects vulnerabilities in open source packages to embed security from code to cloud."

"Prisma Cloud Code Security Datasheet". The document highlights the capability to "Fix insecure code before deployment" and "Find and fix cloud infrastructure misconfigurations in code." This directly supports the primary purpose of addressing issues pre-deployment.

Prisma Cloud utilizes a Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) model with several predefined roles. The 'Auditor' role is designed for compliance and oversight, granting read-only access to all platform resources, including security policies. The 'Dev SecOps' role is intended for developers and security engineers who need visibility into the security posture related to their applications. This role also includes read-only access to policies, alerts, and asset inventory to understand the security requirements and findings that impact their development lifecycle.

A. Build AND Deploy Security: While this role also has read-only access to policies, the 'Auditor' and 'Dev SecOps' roles represent more distinct and primary functions for policy review in compliance and development contexts, making them the best fit.

D. Defender Manager: This role is specifically scoped to manage the lifecycle of Prisma Cloud Defenders (agents) and does not include permissions to view or manage security policies.

and asset inventory".

The operational sequence for utilizing security plugins within an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) follows a strict logical deployment path. First, the foundational host environment must be present, requiring the installation of the IntelliJ IDE. Next, the Prisma Cloud extension must be added to the IDE via the plugin marketplace. Before the plugin can evaluate code, it must be configured; this step involves establishing an authenticated connection by inputting the Prisma Cloud Access Key and Secret Key to communicate with the Prisma Cloud tenant. Only after the foundational IDE is installed, the plugin added, and the backend authentication configured, can a user successfully execute a scan using the Prisma Cloud plugin to identify vulnerabilities in their codebase.

To successfully integrate Prisma Cloud serverless vulnerability scanning into an AWS DevOps CI/CD workflow, you must follow a sequential infrastructure setup. First, you must obtain the required scanning payload by downloading the Prisma Cloud Lambda function executable from the Prisma Cloud console or API. Second, you deploy this executable into your environment by creating an AWS Lambda function, applying the necessary environment variables and authentication settings to establish communication with Prisma Cloud. Third, because the scanner acts as an invokable target, you create the AWS DevOps pipeline with the appropriate settings, adding a stage configured to trigger the newly created Lambda function. Finally, you execute the pipeline to run the automated serverless scan against your code artifacts.
