Palo Alto Networks PCCSE Online Questions & Answers

• Question 151:

  Which resource and policy type are used to calculate AWS Net Effective Permissions? (Choose two.)

  A. Service Linked Roles
  B. Lambda Function
  C. Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) using Wild Cards
  D. AWS Service Control Policies (SCPs)
  B. Lambda Function
  D. AWS Service Control Policies (SCPs)

  ---

  Explanation

  "The list of AWS policy types and identities that are used to calculate the net effective permissions are as follows: AWS IAM role AWS IAM policy AWS IAM group AWS service control policies (SCPs) Role trust relationships Permission boundaries NotAction Policies with wild card support If your cloud environment has additional resource types, Prisma Cloud does not factor them into the net-effective permissions. In addition, permissions can also be set by a resource-based policy. The following AWS resource-based policies are supported in the net effective permissions calculation: Lambda function S3 bucket SQS queue SNS topic ECS task definition Secret manager KMS key Lambda layer version"

• Question 153:

  How are the following categorized?

  Backdoor account access Hijacked processes Lateral movement Port scanning

  A. audits
  B. incidents
  C. admission controllers
  D. models
  B. incidents

  ---

  Explanation

  The activities listed (Backdoor account access, Hijacked processes, Lateral movement, Port scanning) are categorized as incidents (option B). Incidents represent security events or patterns of activity that indicate potential security breaches or malicious behavior within the environment. Prisma Cloud identifies and classifies such activities as incidents to highlight significant security concerns that require investigation and potential remediation. This categorization helps security teams prioritize their response efforts, focusing on activities that pose a real threat to the integrity and security of the cloud environment. By distinguishing incidents from other types of security findings, Prisma Cloud enables more effective incident response and threat management processes. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/prisma/prisma-cloud/prisma-cloud-admin-compute/runtime_defense/incident_types

• Question 154:

  A security team wants to block container runtime behavior that deviates from the learned model. Which type of policy should they use?

  A. Runtime policy
  B. Network policy
  C. Compliance policy
  D. Configuration policy
  A. Runtime policy

  ---

  Explanation

  Runtime policies enforce security rules based on real-time container behavior and can block malicious activities detected at runtime.

• Question 155:

  Which two IDE plugins are supported by Prisma Cloud as part of its DevOps Security? (Choose two.)

  A. BitBucket
  B. Visual Studio Code
  C. CircleCI
  D. IntelliJ
  B. Visual Studio Code
  D. IntelliJ

  ---

  Explanation

  Prisma Cloud supports integration with various Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) as part of its DevOps Security offerings, including Visual Studio Code (Option B) and IntelliJ (Option D). These integrations allow developers to scan their Infrastructure as Code (IaC) templates and application code for vulnerabilities and compliance issues directly within their preferred development environments, promoting a "shift left" security approach. BitBucket (Option A) and CircleCI (Option C) are more commonly associated with Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines rather than being IDEs.

• Question 156:

  In which two ways can Prisma Cloud images be retrieved in Prisma Cloud Compute Self-Hosted Edition? (Choose two.)

  A. Pull the images from the Prisma Cloud registry without any authentication.
  B. Authenticate with Prisma Cloud registry, and then pull the images from the Prisma Cloud registry.
  C. Retrieve Prisma Cloud images using URL auth by embedding an access token.
  D. Download Prisma Cloud images from github.paloaltonetworks.com.
  B. Authenticate with Prisma Cloud registry, and then pull the images from the Prisma Cloud registry.
  C. Retrieve Prisma Cloud images using URL auth by embedding an access token.

  ---

  Explanation

  In Prisma Cloud Compute Self-Hosted Edition, images can be retrieved by first authenticating with the Prisma Cloud registry and then pulling the images from the Prisma Cloud registry. This process ensures secure access to Prisma Cloud images, as authentication is required to access the registry. By using authentication, Prisma Cloud ensures that only authorized users can retrieve and deploy Prisma Cloud images, maintaining the security and integrity of the deployment.

• Question 157:

  Creation of a new custom compliance standard that is based on other individual custom compliance standards needs to be automated.

  Assuming the necessary data from other standards has been collected, which API order should be used for this new compliance standard?

  A. 1) https://api.prismacloud.io/compliance/add 2) https://api.prismacloud.io/compliance/requirementld/section 3) https://api.prismacloud.io/compliance/complianceld/requirement
  B. 1) https://api.prismacloud.io/compliance 2) https://api.prismacloud.io/compliance/complianceld/requirement 3) https://api.prismacloud.io/compliance/requirementld/section
  C. 1) https://api.prismacloud.io/compliance/add 2) https://api.prismacloud.io/compliance/complianceld/requirement 3) https://api.prismacloud.io/compliance/requirementld/section
  D. 1) https://api.prismacloud.io/compliance 2) https://api.prismacloud.io/compliance/requirementld/section 3) https://api.prismacloud.io/compliance/complianceld/requirement

• Question 158:

  Which compliance frameworks are supported by Prisma Cloud? (Choose two)

  A. PCI DSS
  B. GDPR
  C. CCNA
  D. ITIL
  A. PCI DSS
  B. GDPR

  ---

• Question 159:

  What is the correct method for ensuring key-sensitive data related to SSNs and credit card numbers cannot be viewed in Dashboard > Data view during investigations?

  A. Go to Settings > Data > Snippet Masking and select Full Mask.
  B. Go to Settings > Data > Data Patterns, search for SSN Pattern, edit it, and modify the proximity keywords.
  C. Go to Settings > Cloud Accounts > Edit Cloud Account > Assign Account Group and select a group with limited permissions.
  D. Go to Policies > Data > Clone > Modify Objects containing Financial Information publicly exposed and change the file exposure to Private.
  A. Go to Settings > Data > Snippet Masking and select Full Mask.

  ---

  Explanation

  To ensure that sensitive data such as SSNs and credit card numbers are not visible in Dashboard > Data view during investigations, the correct method is to go to Settings > Data > Snippet Masking and select Full Mask (A). This feature in Prisma Cloud allows administrators to mask sensitive data snippets within the dashboard, ensuring that such information is obfuscated and not exposed to unauthorized viewers. Full Masking provides a robust level of protection by completely hiding the sensitive values, thereby enhancing data privacy and compliance with regulations that mandate the protection of personal and financial information. https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/prisma/prisma-cloud/prisma-cloud-admin/ prisma-cloud-data-security/monitor-data-security-scan-prisma-cloud/mask-sensitive-data-on-prisma-cloud

• Question 160:

  A security team notices a number of anomalies under Monitor > Events. The incident response team works with the developers to determine that these anomalies are false positives.

  What will be the effect if the security team chooses to Relearn on this image?

  A. The model is deleted, and Defender will relearn for 24 hours.
  B. The anomalies detected will automatically be added to the model.
  C. The model is deleted and returns to the initial learning state.
  D. The model is retained, and any new behavior observed during the new learning period will be added to the existing model.
  D. The model is retained, and any new behavior observed during the new learning period will be added to the existing model.

  ---

  Explanation

  In Prisma Cloud, when anomalies are detected and the security team chooses to Relearn on a specific image, the existing behavioral model for that image is not deleted. Instead, the system retains the model and enters a new learning period, during which it observes the behavior of the container based on the image. If new behaviors are observed during this period, they are added to the existing model, thereby refining and updating the model to reflect the current operational profile of the container. This approach allows for dynamic adaptation to changes in container behavior while preserving the valuable insights and patterns already established in the model. The Relearn function is part of Prisma Cloud's adaptive capabilities, enabling it to maintain accurate and up-to-date behavioral models that reflect the evolving nature of containerized applications.
