A company is migrating a critical application to a public cloud environment and needs to ensure that the application's infrastructure (compute, storage, network) is continuously monitored for security misconfigurations, compliance violations, and potential threats. Which Palo Alto Networks Cloud Security Solution is specifically designed for comprehensive cloud-native security posture management (CSPM) and cloud workload protection (CWPP)?
- AVM-Series NGFW
- BPrisma Access
- CPrisma Cloud
- DCortex XDR
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Prisma Cloud
Prisma Cloud is Palo Alto Networks' comprehensive cloud-native security platform that provides full lifecycle security across multi-cloud environments, integrating CSPM for misconfigurations and CWPP for workload protection against threats.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. VM-Series NGFW provides network security for cloud environments but doesn't offer the broader CSPM/CWPP capabilities of Prisma Cloud.
- B. Prisma Access is a SASE solution for secure access to cloud apps and the internet, not for cloud infrastructure security posture.
- D. Cortex XDR is an extended detection and response platform for endpoints, network, and cloud, but Prisma Cloud is specialized for cloud-native security posture and workload protection.
