Cybersecurity-Apprentice Cloud Security Practice Question
A DevOps engineer observes that Prisma Cloud Compute vulnerability scans are reporting high severity Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) on running containers, but the build pipeline failed to catch them. How should the engineer integrate Prisma Cloud into the CI/CD pipeline to prevent vulnerable images from being built and pushed?
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
✓
Use the twistcli utility in the CI/CD pipeline to scan images before registry push
Integrating Prisma Cloud into CI/CD pipelines is achieved by utilizing the twistcli utility to scan container images during the build phase and fail the build if vulnerabilities exceed defined thresholds.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Enable AWS GuardDuty anomaly detection on the container registry repository
Why it's wrong here
GuardDuty monitors AWS accounts, not CI/CD build pipelines.
- ✗
Configure Prisma Cloud CSPM to delete unencrypted container registries automatically via AWS Lambda
Why it's wrong here
CSPM monitors posture configurations and does not inspect image-level vulnerabilities inside pipelines.
- ✓
Use the twistcli utility in the CI/CD pipeline to scan images before registry push
Why this is correct
The twistcli command-line tool is specifically designed for scanning images, repositories, and Infrastructure as Code templates during CI/CD builds.
- ✗
Install the Prisma Cloud Defender DaemonSet on the CI/CD build runner worker nodes
Why it's wrong here
While defenders scan nodes, CI/CD scanning requires pipeline integration utilities.
