Palo Alto Networks PCCSE Online Practice Questions and Exam Preparation

Palo Alto Networks PCCSE Online Questions & Answers

• Question 131:

  What is the primary purpose of Cloud Native Application Firewall (CNAF) in Prisma Cloud?

  A. Enforce IAM policies
  B. Protect against web application threats
  C. Monitor container CPU usage
  D. Detect Kubernetes misconfigurations
  B. Protect against web application threats

  ---

  Explanation

  CNAF helps protect containerized web applications from attacks such as SQL Injection (SQLi) and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS).

• Question 132:

  Which action must be taken to enable a user to interact programmatically with the Prisma Cloud APIs and for a nonhuman entity to be enabled for the access keys?

  A. Create a role with System Admin and generate access keys.
  B. Create a user with a role that has minimal access.
  C. Create a role with Account Group Read Only and assign it to the user.
  D. Create a role and assign it to the Service Account.
  D. Create a role and assign it to the Service Account.

  ---

  Explanation

  To enable a user to interact programmatically with Prisma Cloud APIs and for a nonhuman entity to access keys, the correct action is to create a role and assign it to the Service Account (D). Service accounts in Prisma Cloud are designed for programmatic access by applications or automated tools, allowing these entities to interact with Prisma Cloud APIs securely. By creating a specific role with the necessary permissions and assigning it to a service account, administrators can ensure that the entity has the appropriate level of access required for its operations, aligning with the principle of least privilege and enhancing the security posture of API interactions.

• Question 133:

• Question 134:

  In Prisma Cloud Software Release 22.06 (Kepler), which Registry type is added?

  A. Azure Container Registry
  B. Google Artifact Registry
  C. IBM Cloud Container Registry
  D. Sonatype Nexus
  B. Google Artifact Registry

  ---

  Explanation

  In the Prisma Cloud Software Release 22.06, referred to as the Kepler release, the addition of Google Artifact Registry as a supported Registry type was a significant update. Google Artifact Registry is designed to store, manage, and secure your container images and language packages (such as Maven and npm). It provides a single place for teams to manage their artifacts and dependencies, improving consistency and security across software development and deployment processes. This update in Prisma Cloud reflects the platform's commitment to supporting the latest cloud-native technologies and services, enhancing its capabilities in securing modern cloud environments.

• Question 135:

  Prisma Cloud supports which three external systems that allow the import of vulnerabilities and provide additional context on risks in the cloud? (Choose three.)

  A. Splunk
  B. Qualys
  C. Amazon Inspector
  D. Amazon GuardDuty
  E. ServiceNow
  B. Qualys
  C. Amazon Inspector
  D. Amazon GuardDuty

  ---

  Explanation

  Similarly, Prisma Cloud integration with external systems such as Amazon GuardDuty, AWS Inspector, Qualys, and Tenable allow you to import vulnerabilities and provide additional context on risks in the cloud.

• Question 136:

  Which two attributes of policies can be fetched using API? (Choose two.)

  A. policy label
  B. policy signature
  C. policy mode
  D. policy violation
  A. policy label
  C. policy mode

  ---

  Explanation

  Using the Prisma Cloud API, users can fetch various attributes of policies, including the policy label (Option A) and policy mode (Option C). The policy label helps in categorizing and organizing policies, while the policy mode determines how

  the policy is enforced (e.g., alert, enforce). The policy signature (Option B) is not a standard attribute exposed via the API for fetching, as it relates more to the internal identification and handling of policies. The policy violation (Option D) is an

  outcome or event resulting from a policy breach, not an attribute of the policy itself that can be fetched via the API.

• Question 137:

  By default, which type of policy in Prisma Cloud is used to detect data exposure?

  A. Configuration policy (Config Policies)
  B. Network policy (Network Policies)
  C. Runtime policy (Runtime Policies)
  D. Compliance policy (Compliance Policies)
  A. Configuration policy (Config Policies)

  ---

  Explanation

  Configuration policies focus on cloud misconfigurations that may expose sensitive data, such as publicly accessible S3 buckets or misconfigured IAM roles.

• Question 138:

  Where can a user submit an external new feature request?

  A. Aha
  B. Help Center
  C. Support Portal
  D. Feature Request
  A. Aha

• Question 139:

  Which two bot types are part of Web Application and API Security (WAAS) bot protection? (Choose two.)

  A. Chat bots
  B. User-defined bots
  C. Unknown bots
  D. Customer bots
  B. User-defined bots
  C. Unknown bots

  ---

  Explanation

  Web Application and API Security (WAAS) bot protection within the Prisma Cloud ecosystem includes various types of bots, with "User-defined bots" and "Unknown bots" being two key categories. User-defined bots refer to bots that organizations have explicitly identified and categorized based on their behavior and purpose. These can include legitimate bots such as search engine crawlers or internal automation tools, which are recognized and allowed based on predefined criteria set by the user. Unknown bots, on the other hand, encompass bots that have not been explicitly identified or categorized by the user or the system. These can potentially include malicious bots that attempt to scrape data, perform DDoS attacks, or exploit vulnerabilities in web applications and APIs. The categorization of unknown bots is crucial for maintaining security, as it allows for the monitoring and analysis of bot behavior to identify potential threats and take appropriate actions. In the context of Prisma Cloud and its emphasis on securing cloud-native applications, the differentiation between user-defined and unknown bots is significant. Prisma Cloud's approach to WAAS bot protection is designed to provide granular control over bot traffic, enabling organizations to distinguish between beneficial and harmful bot activities. This aligns with the broader goal of ensuring the security and integrity of web applications and APIs in a cloud environment, as highlighted in documents such as the "Prisma-Cloud- Visibility-and-Control-Qualification-Guide" and "Guide-to-CSPM-Tools-Email-Social -LP- Copy." These resources emphasize the importance of comprehensive security measures that include the management of bot traffic to protect against a wide range of web-based threats.

  References: "Prisma-Cloud-Visibility-and-Control-Qualification-Guide" discusses the importance of visibility and control in cloud environments, including the management of bot traffic as part of a comprehensive security strategy. "Guide-to-CSPM-ToolsEmail-Social -LP-Copy" highlights the need for advanced security tools and practices, such as WAAS bot protection, to manage and mitigate the risks associated with web applications and APIs in the cloud.

• Question 140:

  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?

  A. Configure Docker's authentication sequence to first use an identity provider and then Console.
  B. Set Defender's listener type to TCP.
  C. Set Docker's listener type to TCP.
  D. Configure Defender's authentication sequence to first use an identity provider and then Console.
  B. Set Defender's listener type to TCP.
