Explanation
When the TCP listener is enabled on a Linux Docker Defender, the Defender inserts itself between the Docker client and the Docker daemon, acting as a Docker proxy. This allows Prisma Cloud to intercept and inspect all Docker API calls, enabling enforcement of runtime policies on Docker operations. It is not a firewall (A), SSH proxy (C), or HTTP proxy (D) - its specific function is to proxy Docker socket traffic so that Compute can observe and control Docker daemon interactions.
