Explanation

Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) is the Prisma Cloud pillar responsible for auditing and securing cloud entitlements because it provides continuous visibility into cloud permissions, configurations, and compliance posture - giving security teams the ability to quickly identify over-privileged accounts and enforce least-privilege policies at scale.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B. Cloud Identity Security focuses on identity lifecycle and authentication governance (e.g., MFA, SSO), not the broader entitlement audit function.
• C. Cloud Network Security addresses traffic inspection, micro-segmentation, and firewall policy - not permission or entitlement review.
• D. Cloud Code Security (also called Cloud Application Security or Shift-Left Security) targets vulnerabilities in source code and infrastructure-as-code before deployment.

Memory tip: Think of CSPM as the "auditor" pillar - it continuously checks your cloud posture, which includes who can do what (entitlements) and what is misconfigured. If a question involves auditing, compliance, or visibility across cloud resources, CSPM is almost always the answer.
