Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Integrating the Prisma Cloud twistcli scanner utility into the CI/CD pipeline build script (e.g., Jenkins or GitLab CI).
Why this is correct
The twistcli command-line scanner allows developers to scan container images during the build phase before pushing to registries.
- ✗
Installing the GlobalProtect desktop VPN client on every container container image layer.
Why it's wrong here
GlobalProtect is for remote user VPN access, not container image scanning.
- ✗
Physically connecting the build server to a Palo Alto Networks PA-5250 hardware appliance via BNC cables.
Why it's wrong here
Physical hardware cables are not used for CI/CD container scanning.
- ✓
Configuring Prisma Cloud Jenkins plugin to automatically scan built images for vulnerabilities and compliance violations.
Why this is correct
The Prisma Cloud Jenkins plugin automates vulnerability checks in CI/CD pipelines.
- ✗
Configuring raw SNMP traps on the Docker daemon socket.
