Which two data sources are ingested by Prisma Cloud? (Choose two.)

Question

Options

• Anetwork flow logs
• Blist of all database instances' tables
• Cmetadata about compute resources' configuration
• DCortex Data Lake

• A
  86% (31)
• B
  11% (4)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Prisma Cloud is a cloud security posture management (CSPM) platform that ingests network flow logs (A) - such as AWS VPC Flow Logs - to analyze traffic patterns and detect threats, and metadata about compute resources' configuration (C) - such as instance settings, IAM policies, and security group rules - to identify misconfigurations and compliance violations. These two sources directly enable its core functions: network visibility and configuration auditing.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (database table listings): Prisma Cloud monitors cloud resource configuration and behavior, not the internal schema or content of databases - that's outside its security posture scope.
• D (Cortex Data Lake): Cortex Data Lake is a separate Palo Alto Networks product; Prisma Cloud may send data to it, but it is not a source Prisma Cloud ingests from.

Memory tip: Think of Prisma Cloud's two jobs - "What is it doing?" (network flow logs) and "How is it configured?" (resource metadata). If the choice doesn't answer one of those questions, it's not a core ingestion source.
