Cloud-Security-Engineer Prisma Cloud Architecture And Components Practice Question
You are troubleshooting a Prisma Cloud Compute deployment where container vulnerability scans are failing because Defenders cannot download image layers from a private registry. The private registry requires token-based authentication. Where must the registry credentials be configured in Prisma Cloud Compute?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
In the Prisma Cloud Compute Console under Compute > Defend > Vulnerabilities > Registries.
Private registries and their respective authentication credentials must be configured in the Prisma Cloud Compute console under Compute > Defend > Vulnerabilities > Registries.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
In the AWS CloudFormation onboarding template for the host account.
Why it's wrong here
CloudFormation templates onboard cloud APIs, not private container registries.
- ✗
Hardcoded into the environment variables of every deployed Container Defender daemonset YAML.
Why it's wrong here
Registry credentials should be securely managed in the Compute console rather than hardcoded in Defender manifests.
- ✓
In the Prisma Cloud Compute Console under Compute > Defend > Vulnerabilities > Registries.
Why this is correct
Registry credentials and scan schedules are managed directly in the Compute console.
- ✗
In the Prisma Cloud Enterprise SaaS Console under Settings > Cloud Accounts > Registries.
Why it's wrong here
Container registry scanning configuration for Compute Defenders is managed within the Compute console, not the SaaS posture management settings.
