Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Add the Slack API token directly into the AWS CloudFormation onboarding template.
Why it's wrong here
CloudFormation templates are used for cloud account onboarding, not alert notification destinations.
- ✗
Go to Compute > Defend > Runtime and select Slack Webhook as the enforcement action.
Why it's wrong here
Slack notifications are configured under Settings integrations and Alert Rules, not Compute runtime rules.
- ✓
Create a webhook integration under Settings > Integrations, then reference that integration in an Alert Rule.
Why this is correct
Setting up an alert integration requires defining the destination in Settings > Integrations and binding it within an Alert Rule.
- ✗
Configure a Syslog forwarder in the Prisma Cloud Console system settings to pipe alerts to Slack.
Why it's wrong here
Syslog is used for SIEM integration, whereas Slack uses native webhook integrations or direct alert destinations.
