20+ practice questions focused on Cloud Security Posture Management — one of the most tested topics on the Certified Cloud Security Engineer (Cloud-Security-Engineer) exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation so you learn why the right answer is correct.
Start Cloud Security Posture Management PracticeYour auditor requests a report showing historical compliance trends over the last 90 days for the ISO 27001 standard. Where can an administrator generate or schedule this report in Prisma Cloud?
Explanation: Prisma Cloud's Governance > Compliance section is where compliance standards (ISO 27001, PCI DSS, HIPAA, etc.) are evaluated against cloud resources. Selecting a standard exposes the option to download a point-in-time report or schedule recurring reports, which is exactly what an auditor needs for 90-day trend evidence. The scheduled report can be emailed to stakeholders on a cadence.
You are tasked with writing a Resource Query Language (RQL) statement in Prisma Cloud to find all AWS S3 buckets that do not have server-side encryption enabled. Which RQL query correctly achieves this?
Explanation: The correct RQL uses the config (resource configuration) data type, filters cloud.type = 'aws' and api.name = 'aws-s3-bucket', then uses a JMESPath expression to check whether the bucket's server-side encryption rules contain 'AES256' and asserts that check is false — meaning no AES256 encryption rule exists. This directly targets the absence of default encryption on S3 buckets, which is the compliance condition being tested.
An enterprise uses Prisma Cloud to monitor multi-cloud environments. A custom policy needs to identify Azure Virtual Machines that do not have disk encryption enabled. Which RQL syntax is accurate for Azure disks?
Explanation: Azure disk encryption configurations are queried via cloud config resource attributes using the correct Azure compute API names in RQL.
An administrator wishes to map custom security policies to the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark inside Prisma Cloud. Where can compliance standards and mappings be customized or viewed?
Explanation: Compliance standard mappings, including custom standards and integration with CIS benchmarks, are managed under the Compliance section in Prisma Cloud.
An administrator needs to create a custom RQL policy that detects AWS IAM users who have console access enabled, have not enabled Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), and have not logged in within the last 90 days. Which RQL query correctly combines these conditions?
Explanation: Prisma Cloud IAM RQL allows joining cloud config data with cloud identity data to evaluate user login activity, console access, and MFA status.
