Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
A 'Condition' element validating the unique Prisma Cloud 'sts:ExternalId'
Why this is correct
The External ID condition prevents confused deputy vulnerabilities.
- ✗
An unencrypted plaintext list of all employee social security numbers
Why it's wrong here
PII should never be stored in IAM policies.
- ✗
A rule opening all TCP ports from 0.0.0.0/0
Why it's wrong here
TCP port rules belong in security groups, not IAM trust policies.
- ✗
A requirement that all users must connect via dial-up modems
Why it's wrong here
Dial-up requirements are obsolete and unsupported.
- ✓
A 'Principal' element specifying the Prisma Cloud AWS account ID
Why this is correct
The Principal identifies which external AWS account is allowed to assume the role.
