Prisma Certified Cloud Security Engineer (PCCSE) — Question 55

What is the function of the external ID when onboarding a new Amazon Web Services (AWS) account in Prisma Cloud?

Answer options

• A. It is a unique identifier needed only when Monitor & Protect mode is selected.
• B. It is the resource name for the Prisma Cloud Role.
• C. It is a UUID that establishes a trust relationship between the Prisma Cloud account and the AWS account in order to extract data.
• D. It is the default name of the PrismaCloudApp stack.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, is accurate because the external ID is indeed a UUID that helps establish a trust relationship between the two accounts, which is essential for securely extracting data. Option A is incorrect as the external ID is not limited to Monitor & Protect mode, B is wrong since it does not function as a resource name, and D is incorrect because it does not represent a name for the PrismaCloudApp stack.
