WHY IT MATTERS

Detecting and fixing the misconfigurations that lead to data breaches and compliance violations is growing ever more difficult as cloud architectures become increasingly complex.

Continuously monitor all your cloud resources

Prisma® Cloud’s unique approach to Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) delivers more than compliance or configuration management. The platform offers agentless, near real-time visibility across your multicloud environments and correlates misconfigurations with other signals to identify the most severe risk.

With Prisma Cloud Copilot, powered by Palo Alto Networks' Precision AI™, users can easily address cloud risks by asking straightforward questions.
  • Gain complete visibility across clouds without agents.
  • Eliminate attack paths to your crown jewel assets.
  • Use AI to ease operations and drive faster responses.

THE PRISMA CLOUD SOLUTION

Our approach to Cloud Security Posture Management

Visibility

Prisma Cloud delivers comprehensive visibility across your cloud environments. While some solutions capture snapshots of your cloud, Prisma Cloud provides continuous monitoring and near real-time detection.

  • Agentless visibility

    Simply connect Prisma Cloud to your cloud environments in minutes to gain visibility across IaaS, PaaS, Kubernetes, containers, serverless functions, networks and storage services. Prisma Cloud offers valuable insights without disrupting business or inserting agents and proxies.

  • Broad cloud coverage

    Get visibility into more than 350 cloud-native services across the six largest cloud providers—Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud (GCP), Oracle Cloud (OCI), Alibaba Cloud and IBM Cloud.

  • Near real-time visibility

    Unlike snapshot-based tools that provide point-in-time visibility, Prisma Cloud continuously monitors cloud environments. You get near real-time misconfiguration detections and historical lookback of configuration changes.

Visibility, Compliance and Governance

Posture Management

Gain control over your security posture. Prisma Cloud conforms to your needs to identify and remediate any cloud security violation

  • Configuration assessment

    Detect cloud security violations in near real-time. Prisma Cloud provides over 3,000 built-in policies and offers custom policies to help you meet any unique requirement.

  • Compliance management

    Continuously monitor your compliance posture with more than 100 built-in frameworks (CIS, GDPR, HIPAA, ISO-27001, NIST-800, PCI-DSS, SOC 2 and more). Simplify compliance with one-click reporting and support for custom reporting.

  • Code to Cloud™ Remediation

    Prisma Cloud provides step-by-step remediation guidance for misconfigurations and integrates with 3rd party tools for ticketing and alert streaming. The platform also traces cloud misconfigurations to the source code, enabling teams to fix issues in code or the cloud.

Data Security

Attack Path Analysis

In addition to misconfiguration detection and remediation, Prisma Cloud provides additional context helping you narrow down the most severe risk across your clouds.

  • Risk Correlation

    Prisma Cloud cross-correlates misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, excessive permissions, public exposures, anomalous activity and more to identify inter-related issues that form attack paths to your crown jewel assets.

  • Graph visualization

    The evidence graph in Prisma Cloud provides risk clarity by visualizing attack paths. Speed up investigation workflows using a graph that brings context.

Attack Path Analysis

Precision AI™

  • Uncover complex attack paths

    Ask the Copilot to reveal your top risks. It analyzes and connects insights, pinpointing the vulnerabilities and misconfigurations that pose the greatest threat to your business.

  • Natural language

    Replace complex query building with simple natural language questions. The Prisma Cloud Copilot understands your intent behind questions such as, “which S3 buckets are internet exposed?”

Copilot

Threat Detection

Prisma Cloud goes beyond traditional risk identification and posture management by detecting real threats—all without inserting agents or proxies.

  • Network threat detection

    Leverage intel on more than 1 trillion network transactions processed daily to pinpoint unusual network activities such as port scans and port sweeps and DNS-based threats such as domain generation algorithms (DGA) and cryptomining.

  • User entity behavior analytics (UEBA)

    Monitor cloud environments for unusual user activities. Discover insider threats and potential account compromises. Leverage industry-leading ML capabilities with more than 2 billion audit events processed daily.

  • Advanced malware detection

    Scan compute instances to detect known and day zero malware. Prisma Cloud’s threat intelligence is backed by Palo Alto Network Advanced Wildfire service, the industry’s largest cloud-based malware prevention engine.
