Palo Alto Networks Certified Cloud Security Engineer (PCCSE)Prisma Cloud PlatformEasy
A security architect is designing a new Prisma Cloud Enterprise deployment for a global organization with strict data residency requirements. The organization operates in multiple geographical regions and needs to ensure that all security data and configurations generated within a specific region remain within that region. Which Prisma Cloud deployment option best addresses this requirement?
- APrisma Cloud Community Edition
- BPrisma Cloud Enterprise with on-premises Console
- CPrisma Cloud Regional SaaS Tenant
- DPrisma Cloud Compute Edition
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Prisma Cloud Regional SaaS Tenant
Prisma Cloud Regional SaaS Tenants are specifically designed to meet data residency requirements by ensuring that all data generated in a particular region is processed and stored within that region's boundaries.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Prisma Cloud Community Edition is a free, limited version and does not offer the advanced deployment options required for global enterprises with data residency mandates.
- B. An on-premises Console for Prisma Cloud Enterprise manages compute resources but does not inherently address data residency for the broader cloud security posture management (CSPM) and cloud workload protection (CWPP) data collected across multiple cloud environments.
- D. Prisma Cloud Compute Edition focuses on container and host security and does not inherently offer regional data residency for the management plane.
Prisma Cloud Regional SaaS Tenant
A deployment model where Prisma Cloud services, including data processing and storage, are provisioned within specific geographical regions to comply with data residency regulations.
- Ensures data stays within defined geographic boundaries.
- Crucial for compliance with regulations like GDPR, CCPA.
- Managed by Palo Alto Networks in specific regions.
Memory trick: Deploying Prisma Cloud globally, remember where your data stays.
