SecOps-Architect Practice Question: Palo Alto Networks Product Integration And Architecture
An architect is designing a Prisma Cloud Compute deployment for Kubernetes clusters deployed across multiple cloud providers. The architecture requires real-time runtime defense against container escapes and anomalous process execution. Which Prisma Cloud component must be deployed inside each Kubernetes cluster to achieve this?
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.

Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Prisma Access Remote Network connector container pod
Why it's wrong here
Prisma Access connects network traffic, it is not a container runtime security defender.
- ✗
Panorama virtual appliance deployed as a Kubernetes Ingress controller.
Why it's wrong here
Panorama does not run inside customer Kubernetes clusters as a container security agent.
- ✗
GlobalProtect containerized app
Why it's wrong here
GlobalProtect is for remote user VPN access.
- ✓
Prisma Cloud Defender DaemonSet deployed to every node in the Kubernetes cluster.
Why this is correct
Defenders run as a DaemonSet to monitor container runtime behavior and enforce security policies locally.
