Prisma Cloud supports Single Sign-On (SSO) integration through Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), enabling users to authenticate using their existing identity providers (IdPs) such as Okta, Azure Active Directory, PingID, among others. This SSO integration allows for a seamless user authentication experience, where users can log in to Prisma Cloud using their credentials managed by their organization's IdP. The SAML protocol facilitates this by allowing secure exchange of authentication and authorization data between the IdP and Prisma Cloud.

This integration enhances security by centralizing user authentication, reducing the number of passwords users need to remember, and enabling organizations to enforce their security policies, such as multi-factor authentication (MFA) and password complexity, across their cloud security tools. SAML support is a common feature in cloud security platforms for integrating with various IdPs, making it a verified approach for Prisma Cloud as well.

To achieve automatic remediation for identity and access management (IAM) alerts in Azure cloud, the variables that must be modified include SB_QUEUE_KEY (Service Bus Queue Key) and YOUR_ACCOUNT_NUMBER. These variables are essential for configuring the connection and authentication to Azure Service Bus, which is used for messaging and communication within Azure services. By setting up these variables, Prisma Cloud can interact with Azure services to automate the remediation of IAM-related alerts, ensuring that access controls and permissions are correctly enforced to maintain a secure cloud environment.

When configuring a Prisma Cloud build policy specifically for Terraform, the type of query necessary is Terraform. Terraform is an infrastructure as code (IaC) tool that allows users to define and provision cloud infrastructure using a declarative configuration language. Prisma Cloud can analyze Terraform templates to identify potential security risks and misconfigurations before the infrastructure is provisioned, aligning with the best practices for integrating security into the application development pipeline and ensuring secure cloud configurations from the start​​.

Port 8084 is commonly used for accessing the Console's API in Prisma Cloud. This port allows security teams to programmatically interact with the Prisma Cloud Console, pulling data and automating various security and compliance tasks.
