Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Deploying WAAS as a Defender module integrated with proxy or ingress annotations / container injection
Why this is correct
WAAS inspection is embedded into the Defender architecture or proxy modules protecting web services.
- ✗
Enabling WAAS via Azure Security Center native policy extension
Why it's wrong here
WAAS is a native Prisma Cloud Compute feature, not an Azure Security Center extension.
- ✗
Installing WAAS directly onto the physical AWS Nitro security chip
Why it's wrong here
Nitro chips handle AWS virtualization and storage offloading, not application-layer WAAS inspection.
- ✗
Configuring AWS Shield Advanced route table scrubbing rules
Why it's wrong here
AWS Shield provides DDoS mitigation, not layer 7 Prisma WAAS capabilities.
