Prisma Agent Processes To Be Allow Listed on EDR Deployments
To prevent false positives in antivirus, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), or
firewall applications, you need to allow list key Prisma Agent processes on EDR
deployments.
| Where Can I Use This? | What Do I Need? |
- Prisma Access (Managed by Strata Cloud Manager)
- Prisma Access (Managed by Panorama)
- NGFW (Managed by Panorama)
|
- Check the prerequisites for the deployment you're
using
- Contact your Palo Alto Networks account representative to activate the Prisma Agent feature
|
To ensure the uninterrupted operation of Prisma Agents on endpoints,
configure antivirus, Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), or firewall applications to
recognize Prisma Agent processes as safe. These security applications can
sometimes mistakenly identify Prisma Agent processes as malicious. To
prevent these security applications from interfering with Prisma Agent
operations, allow list or create security exceptions for the following Prisma Agent processes before installation.
The following tables list the Prisma Agent processes that you must allow
list on your EDR deployments.
