What are the differences between Prisma Cloud Enterprise and Prisma Cloud Compute?

Question

Options

• AThe only difference is in the architecture - where the Console is hosted
• BPrisma Cloud Compute offers lowered runtime defensive capabilities because there is no
• CPrisma Cloud Enterprise does not offer workload protection.
• DOnly Prisma Cloud Compute offers API based cloud protection.

Explanation

Prisma Cloud Enterprise is designed around cloud security posture management (CSPM) - it uses API-based integrations with cloud providers to monitor configurations, compliance, and network security, but it does not include workload protection (containers, serverless, hosts, or runtime defense). That gap is precisely what Prisma Cloud Compute fills, making option C correct.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because the differences go far beyond architecture/Console hosting - the two products serve fundamentally different security domains (cloud posture vs. workload runtime).
• B is wrong and backwards - Prisma Cloud Compute is specifically built for robust runtime defense; it doesn't have lowered capabilities.
• D is wrong because Prisma Cloud Enterprise is actually the product that uses API-based cloud provider integrations for CSPM - not Compute.

Memory tip: Think of it this way - Enterprise = "the cloud estate" (APIs, posture, configs), Compute = "what's running in the cloud" (containers, hosts, workloads). If it has a CPU doing work, Compute protects it; if it's a cloud config/policy, Enterprise handles it.
