Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create an Integration under Settings > Integrations for Slack, then associate it with an Alert Rule targeting high-severity alerts.
Why this is correct
Configuring a Slack integration and mapping it via an Alert Rule enables real-time notifications for high-severity findings.
- ✗
Deploy the Prisma Cloud Defender daemonset on an EKS cluster and configure webhook forwarding.
Why it's wrong here
Defenders are for container/runtime security, whereas CSPM alert integrations are configured globally on the Prisma Cloud console.
- ✗
Configure an AWS SNS topic subscription inside the cloud account IAM role configuration.
Why it's wrong here
While SNS can be used, Prisma Cloud provides native webhook and Slack integrations directly within its platform settings.
- ✗
Enable CloudTrail logging to automatically pipe alerts to Slack via CloudWatch.
Why it's wrong here
CloudTrail does not natively format or pipe Prisma Cloud CSPM alerts to Slack.
