Prisma™ Cloud

Prisma™ Cloud is the Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) that secures applications from code to cloud. Security and DevOps teams can effectively collaborate to accelerate secure cloud native application development and deployment using a single dashboard. It offers comprehensive visibility and threat detection across your organization’s hybrid, multi-cloud infrastructure.

This site provides documentation for the full-suite of capabilities that include:
Code Security | Cloud Security Posture Management | Cloud Workload Protection | IAM Security | Web App & API Security

Prisma Cloud leverages both agent-based and agentless approach to tap into the cloud providers’ APIs for read-only access to your network traffic, user activity, and configuration of systems and services, and correlates these disparate data sets to help the cloud compliance and security analytics teams prioritize risks and quickly respond to issues. It also uses Defenders to enable microsegmentation for workload isolation, and to secure your host, container, and serverless computing environments against vulnerabilities, malware, and compliance violations.

Prisma Cloud - Cloud Workload Protection

For securing your host, container, and functions across the application lifecycle that constitute the CWP capabilities, Prisma Cloud is available in both self-hosted and SaaS versions:

Prisma Cloud Enterprise Edition, includes the Compute tab on the Prisma Cloud administrative console. This interface is the SaaS version of the full Cloud Native Security Platform that delivers host, container, and serverless capabilities along with the cloud security posture management capabilities.

Palo Alto Networks operates the Console for you, and you must deploy the agents (Defenders) into your environment to secure hosts, containers, and serverless functions running in any cloud, including on-premises.

Prisma Cloud Compute Edition, which is the downloadable, self-hosted software that you can use to protect hosts, containers, and serverless functions running in any cloud, including on-premises and even fully air-gapped environments. You must deploy and operate the Console and Defenders in your own environment.
