The Compute Console has recently been upgraded, and the administrator plans to delay upgrading the Defenders and the Twistcli tool until some of the team's resources have been rescaled. The Console is currently one major release ahead.
What will happen as a result of the Console upgrade?

  1. Defenders will disconnect, and Twistcli will stop working.
  2. Defenders will disconnect, and Twistcli will remain working.
  3. Both Defenders and Twistcli will remain working.
  4. Defenders will remain connected, and Twistcli will stop working.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

When the Compute Console in Prisma Cloud is upgraded to a newer major release, while the Defenders and the Twistcli tool remain on the older version, the system is designed to ensure backward compatibility to a certain extent. As a result, both Defenders and Twistcli will continue to operate despite the version discrepancy. The Defenders will remain connected, continuing their monitoring and protection duties, and the Twistcli tool will keep functioning, allowing for continued scanning and other CLI-based operations. This design ensures that the security and functionality of the environment are not abruptly interrupted due to the upgrade process, providing administrators with a window to plan and execute the upgrade of Defenders and Twistcli without immediate pressure.



Which three types of runtime rules can be created? (Choose three.)

  1. Processes
  2. Network-outgoing
  3. Filesystem
  4. Kubernetes-audit
  5. Waas-request

Answer(s): A,B,C

Explanation:

In Prisma Cloud, runtime rules are created to monitor and control the behavior of applications and services during their execution to ensure compliance with security policies. The three types of runtime rules that can be created in Prisma Cloud are:
Processes: These rules monitor and control the execution of processes within the environment. They can be used to detect unauthorized or malicious processes and take actions such as alerting, blocking, or terminating the processes.
Network-outgoing: These rules govern the outbound network connections from the applications or containers. They help in controlling access to external resources, preventing data exfiltration, and ensuring that the communication complies with the security policies. Filesystem: Filesystem rules are related to the access and modification of the file system by applications or containers. These rules can help in detecting unauthorized access, changes to sensitive files, and ensuring that the applications adhere to the least privilege principle in terms of file access.
These runtime rules are essential for maintaining the security and integrity of applications running in cloud environments, especially in dynamic and distributed architectures where traditional perimeter- based security controls may not be sufficient.



On which cloud service providers can you receive new API release information for Prisma Cloud?

  1. AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, IBM
  2. AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle, Alibaba
  3. AWS, Azure, GCP, IBM
  4. AWS, Azure, GCP, IBM, Alibaba

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Prisma Cloud, developed by Palo Alto Networks, is known for its comprehensive cloud security capabilities across various cloud service providers (CSPs). The integration and support extend to major CSPs, including AWS (Amazon Web Services), Azure (Microsoft's Cloud), GCP (Google Cloud Platform), Oracle Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud. This wide range of support ensures that organizations leveraging multi-cloud environments can maintain consistent security postures across all their cloud assets. The information regarding supported CSPs by Prisma Cloud can typically be found in their official documentation and release notes, which detail the features, integrations, and enhancements specific to each CSP.



Web-Application and API Security (WAAS) provides protection for which two protocols? (Choose two.)

  1. HTTP
  2. SSH
  3. Tomcat Web Connector via AJP
  4. TLS

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

Web-Application and API Security (WAAS) is a feature within Prisma Cloud that focuses on protecting web applications and APIs from various threats and vulnerabilities. The primary protocols it provides protection for are HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) and TLS (Transport Layer Security). HTTP is the foundation of data communication for the World Wide Web, and TLS is a cryptographic protocol designed to provide communications security over a computer network.
While SSH (Secure Shell) is a protocol for secure remote login and other secure network services, and Tomcat Web Connector via AJP (Apache JServ Protocol) is used for Tomcat server communication, they are not the primary focus of WAAS protection.



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

  1. prisma.pan.dev
  2. docs.paloaltonetworks.com
  3. Prisma Cloud Administrator's Guide
  4. Live Community

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

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.
