Palo Alto Networks PAN-CSP Online Questions & Answers

• Question 181:

  Which Defender type performs registry scanning?

  A. Serverless
  B. Container
  C. Host
  D. RASP
  B. Container

  ---

  Explanation

  In Prisma Cloud, the Defender type responsible for performing registry scanning is the Container Defender. Registry scanning is crucial for ensuring that container images stored in registries are free from vulnerabilities and compliance issues before they are deployed. Container Defenders scan images within container registries, identifying security risks and ensuring that only secure container images are used in deployment, thereby maintaining the integrity and security of containerized applications.

• Question 182:

  A Prisma Cloud administrator is onboarding a single GCP project to Prisma Cloud.

  Which two steps can be performed by the Terraform script? (Choose two.)

  A. enable ow logs for Prisma Cloud.
  B. create the Prisma Cloud role.
  C. enable the required APIs for Prisma Cloud.
  D. publish the ow log to a storage bucket.
  B. create the Prisma Cloud role.
  C. enable the required APIs for Prisma Cloud.

  ---

  Explanation

  When a Prisma Cloud administrator is onboarding a single GCP project to Prisma Cloud, the Terraform script can perform several steps to facilitate this integration. The steps include

  B. create the Prisma Cloud role, which is essential for defining the permissions and capabilities that Prisma Cloud will have within the GCP environment, and

  C. enable the required APIs for Prisma Cloud, ensuring that Prisma Cloud can access the necessary GCP services and features for comprehensive cloud security management.

• Question 183:

  Which two items are explicitly listed as Application Security features in the blueprint? (Choose two.)

  A. Software composition analysis (SCA)
  B. AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM)
  C. CI/CD posture management
  D. Cloud workload protection (CWP)
  A. Software composition analysis (SCA)
  C. CI/CD posture management

  ---

  Explanation

  The correct answers are A and C because the blueprint includes Software Composition Analysis (SCA) and CI/CD posture management under Application Security. AI-SPM is part of Cloud Posture Security, and CWP is part of Cloud Runtime Security, so B and D are incorrect.

• Question 184:

  Which container image scan is constructed correctly?

  A. twistcli images scan --docker-address https://us-west1.cloud.twistlock.com/us-3-123456789myimage/latest
  B. twistcli images scan --address https://us-west1.cloud.twistlock.com/us-3-123456789myimage/latest
  C. twistcli images scan --address https://us-west1.cloud.twistlock.com/us-3-123456789--containermyimage/latest
  D. twistcli images scan --address https://us-west1.cloud.twistlock.com/us-3-123456789--containermyimage/latest--details
  C. twistcli images scan --address https://us-west1.cloud.twistlock.com/us-3-123456789--containermyimage/latest

• Question 185:

  In Prisma Cloud Compute, which CLI command is used to scan a container image for vulnerabilities?

  A. twistcli scan container <image>
  B. twistcli images scan --address <Console_URL> <image>
  C. docker scan <image>
  D. twistcli security scan <image>
  B. twistcli images scan --address <Console_URL> <image>

  ---

  Explanation

  The twistcli images scan command, when used with the --address flag, connects to Prisma Cloud Console to scan the specified container image.

• Question 186:

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

  A. 2
  B. 4
  C. 1
  D. 3
  C. 1

  ---

  Explanation

  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 187:

  An administrator needs to detect and alert on any activities performed by a root account.

  Which policy type should be used?

  A. config-run
  B. config-build
  C. network
  D. audit event
  D. audit event

  ---

  Explanation

  To detect and alert on activities performed by a root account, an audit event policy should be used. An audit event policy is a type of policy that can be used to detect suspicious activities or events that may be related to security threats. This type of policy will allow the administrator to monitor and alert on any activities performed by a root account.

  https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/prisma/prisma-cloud/prisma-cloud-admin/prisma-cloud-policies/prisma-cloud-threat-detection

  The correct policy type to use in order to detect and alert on any activities performed by a root account is an "audit event" policy. An audit event policy is designed to monitor and record a series of chronological events in the order they occur, typically used to track user activities and changes within the system. When a root account performs any actions, an audit event policy will log these events, allowing the administrator to review and potentially set up alerts if suspicious or unauthorized activities are detected. This type of policy is crucial for security and compliance purposes as it helps ensure that all actions performed with root privileges are legitimate and authorized. Reference to this can be found in most

  cloud security platforms that offer CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) solutions. For example, within Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks, audit events are a part of the Activity Monitoring features, which track user activities and system changes to facilitate investigations into suspicious or unauthorized actions.

• Question 188:

  Which intensity setting for anomaly alerts is used for the measurement of 100 events over 30 days?

  A. High
  B. Medium
  C. Low
  D. Very High
  B. Medium

  ---

  Explanation

  In the context of setting anomaly alert intensities in Prisma Cloud, an intensity setting of "Medium" could be used for the measurement of 100 events over 30 days. This setting indicates a moderate level of anomaly detection sensitivity, which is suitable for environments where there is a need to balance between detecting potential security issues and minimizing false positives.

• Question 189:

  Taking which action will automatically enable all seventy levels?

  A. Navigate to Policies > Settings and enable all severity levels in the alarm center.
  B. Navigate to Settings > Enterprise Settings and enable all severity levels in the alarm center.
  C. Navigate to Policies > Settings and ensure all severity levels are checked under "auto-enable default policies."
  D. Navigate to Settings > Enterprise Settings and ensure all severity levels are checked under "auto-enable default policies."
  D. Navigate to Settings > Enterprise Settings and ensure all severity levels are checked under "auto-enable default policies."

• Question 190:

  Which statement accurately characterizes SSO Integration on Prisma Cloud?

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

  ---

  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.
