Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Rotate the AWS Lambda access keys.
Why it's wrong here
Access key rotation is an identity management task, not a runtime policy.
- ✗
Enforce Multi-Factor Authentication for the function.
Why it's wrong here
MFA is for user authentication, not function execution.
- ✗
Limit the CPU usage of the function execution.
Why it's wrong here
CPU limits are managed by the cloud provider, not the security platform.
- ✓
Block unauthorized network connections from the function.
Why this is correct
Prisma Cloud serverless runtime protection can block connections based on defined network policies.
