What will happen when a Prisma Cloud Administrator has configured agentless scanning in an environment that also has Host and Container Defenders deployed?

  1. Agentless scan will automatically be disabled, so Defender scans are the only scans occurring.
  2. Agentless scans do not conflict with Defender scans, so both will run.
  3. Defender scans will automatically be disabled, so agentless scans are the only scans occurring.
  4. Both agentless and Defender scans will be disabled and an error message will be received.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In a Prisma Cloud environment where both agentless scanning and Defender-based scans (Host and Container Defenders) are configured, there is no inherent conflict between these two scanning methods. Both agentless scans and Defender scans are designed to complement each other, providing comprehensive coverage and depth in the security analysis of the environment. Agentless scans offer a broad, less intrusive overview, while Defender scans provide deep, detailed insights into the security posture. Therefore, both types of scans will run concurrently, enhancing the overall security visibility and protection of the environment without disabling or interfering with each other's operations.



An administrator of Prisma Cloud wants to enable role-based access control for Docker engine.
Which configuration step is needed first to accomplish this task?

  1. Configure Docker's authentication sequence to first use an identity provider and then Console.
  2. Set Defender's listener type to TCP.
  3. Set Docker's listener type to TCP.
  4. Configure Defender's authentication sequence to first use an identity provider and then Console.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

To enable role-based access control (RBAC) for the Docker engine in a Prisma Cloud environment, the first configuration step involves setting Docker's listener type to TCP. This change allows Docker to accept connections over the network, facilitating the integration with Prisma Cloud Defenders, which can then enforce RBAC policies. Configuring Docker to listen on TCP is essential for enabling communication between the Docker daemon and Prisma Cloud Defenders, which act as the enforcement point for RBAC, controlling which users or services can perform actions on the Docker engine based on their roles and permissions. This setup is foundational for implementing granular access controls and enhancing the security of Docker operations within the environment.



Which of the below actions would indicate ­ "The timestamp on the compliance dashboard?

  1. indicates the most recent data
  2. indicates the most recent alert generated
  3. indicates when the data was ingested
  4. indicates when the data was aggregated for the results displayed

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The timestamp on the compliance dashboard in a cloud security context typically reflects the point in time when data from various sources is collected, processed, and then consolidated to present the compliance status or results. This aggregation process involves compiling data from multiple scans, logs, and other compliance-related information to provide a comprehensive overview of the current compliance posture. Therefore, the timestamp usually indicates when this aggregation was completed, ensuring that users are viewing the most up-to-date and relevant compliance information based on the latest data compilation.



During the Learning phase of the Container Runtime Model, Prisma Cloud enters a "dry run" period for how many hours?

  1. 4
  2. 48
  3. 1
  4. 24

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

In the context of Prisma Cloud and its Container Runtime Model, the Learning phase is a crucial period where the system observes and understands the normal behaviors and patterns of container activities. This "dry run" period allows Prisma Cloud to establish a baseline of what is considered normal, which later helps in identifying anomalies or malicious activities. A 48-hour period is typically used for this learning phase to ensure that a sufficient amount of data is collected across various times and conditions, providing a comprehensive understanding of typical container operations.



Which three incident types will be reflected in the Incident Explorer section of Runtime Defense? (Choose three.)

  1. Crypto miners
  2. Brute Force
  3. Cross-Site Scripting
  4. Port Scanning
  5. SQL Injection

Answer(s): A,D,E

Explanation:

The Incident Explorer section in Runtime Defense of a cloud security platform like Prisma Cloud is designed to reflect various types of security incidents that might occur within a containerized environment. Incident types such as Crypto miners, Port Scanning, and SQL Injection are common threats that are actively monitored. Crypto miners indicate unauthorized cryptocurrency mining activities; Port Scanning involves scanning a computer network or a single machine for open ports, which could be a precursor to more serious attacks; and SQL Injection is a code injection technique that might be used to attack data-driven applications. These incident types are critical to monitor for maintaining the security and integrity of cloud and container environments.
