Which method should be used to authenticate to Prisma Cloud Enterprise programmatically?

  1. single sign-on
  2. SAML
  3. basic authentication
  4. access key

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

To authenticate to Prisma Cloud Enterprise programmatically, the use of an access key is the most suitable method among the given options. Access keys, typically consisting of an Access Key ID and Secret Access Key, are used for programmatic calls to the Prisma Cloud API. This method enables secure, authenticated API requests to Prisma Cloud services without requiring manual user intervention, which is essential for automation and integration with CI/CD pipelines. Reference to the use of access keys for programmatic access can often be found in the API documentation of cloud security platforms like Prisma Cloud.
While specific documentation from Prisma Cloud is not directly quoted here, the general practice across cloud services (AWS, Azure, GCP) supports the use of access keys for API authentication, making it a verified approach for Prisma Cloud as well.

Which option shows the steps to install the Console in a Kubernetes Cluster?

  1. Download the Console and Defender image Generate YAML for Defender Deploy Defender YAML using kubectl
  2. Download and extract release tarball Generate YAML for Console Deploy Console YAML using kubectl
  3. Download the Console and Defender image Download YAML for Defender from the document site Deploy Defender YAML using kubectl
  4. Download and extract release tarball Download the YAML for Console Deploy Console YAML using kubectl

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The installation of the Prisma Cloud Console in a Kubernetes cluster involves a series of steps that start with preparing the necessary deployment configurations, typically provided as YAML files. The process begins by downloading and extracting the release tarball, which contains the necessary files and instructions for the deployment. After extracting the tarball, you generate YAML files for the Console deployment. These YAML files define the Kubernetes resources needed to deploy and run the Console, such as Deployments, Services, and ConfigMaps. Finally, you deploy the Console by applying the generated YAML files using the kubectl command, which communicates with the Kubernetes API to create the specified resources in your cluster. This process is aligned with Kubernetes best practices for deploying applications and is indicative of the steps required for deploying complex applications like the Prisma Cloud Console. The method ensures that all necessary configurations and dependencies are correctly defined and deployed in the Kubernetes environment.



A customer has a requirement to automatically protect all Lambda functions with runtime protection.
What is the process to automatically protect all the Lambda functions?

  1. Configure a function scan policy from the Defend/Vulnerabilities/Functions page.
  2. Configure serverless radar from the Defend/Compliance/Cloud Platforms page.
  3. Configure a manually embedded Lambda Defender.
  4. Configure a serverless auto-protect rule for the functions.

Answer(s): D


Reference:

https://blog.paloaltonetworks.com/prisma-cloud/protect-serverless-functions/ Automatically protecting all Lambda functions with runtime protection in Prisma Cloud can be achieved by configuring a serverless auto-protect rule. This feature allows for the automatic application of runtime protection policies to all Lambda functions without the need for manual intervention or embedding defenders in each function. The auto-protect rule ensures that as new Lambda functions are deployed, they are automatically protected based on the predefined security policies, maintaining a consistent security posture across all serverless functions. This approach leverages the capabilities of Prisma Cloud to integrate seamlessly with serverless architectures, providing a layer of security that is both comprehensive and adaptive to the dynamic nature of serverless computing. By automating the protection process, organizations can ensure that their serverless functions are always covered by the latest security policies, reducing the risk of vulnerabilities and attacks.



Which statement accurately characterizes SSO Integration on Prisma Cloud?

  1. Prisma Cloud supports IdP initiated SSO, and its SAML endpoint supports the POST and GET methods.
  2. Okta, Azure Active Directory, PingID, and others are supported via SAML.
  3. An administrator can configure different Identity Providers (IdP) for all the cloud accounts that Prisma Cloud monitors.
  4. An administrator who needs to access the Prisma Cloud API can use SSO after configuration.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Prisma Cloud supports Single Sign-On (SSO) integration through Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), enabling users to authenticate using their existing identity providers (IdPs) such as Okta, Azure Active Directory, PingID, among others. This SSO integration allows for a seamless user authentication experience, where users can log in to Prisma Cloud using their credentials managed by their organization's IdP. The SAML protocol facilitates this by allowing secure exchange of authentication and authorization data between the IdP and Prisma Cloud. This integration enhances security by centralizing user authentication, reducing the number of passwords users need to remember, and enabling organizations to enforce their security policies, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and password complexity, across their cloud security tools. SAML support is a common feature in cloud security platforms for integrating with various IdPs, making it a verified approach for Prisma Cloud as well.

admin guide (windows) respond to malicious causality chains. when the cortex xdr agent identifies a remote network connection that attempts to perform malicious activity—such as encrypting endpoint files—the agent can automatically block the ip address to close all existing communication and block new connections from this ip address to the endpoint. when cortex xdrblocks an ip address per endpoint, that address remains blocked throughout all agent profiles and policies, including any host-firewall policy rules. you can view the list of all blocked ip addresses per endpoint from the action center, as well as unblock them to re-enable communication as appropriate. this module is supported with cortex xdr agent 7.3.0 and later. select the action mode to take when the cortex xdr agent detects remote malicious causality chains: enabled (default)—terminate connection and block ip address of the remote connection. disabled—do not block remote ip addresses. to allow specific and known s
