Prisma™ Cloud is a cloud security posture management (CSPM) and cloud workload protection platform (CWPP) that provides comprehensive visibility and threat detection across your organization’s hybrid, multi-cloud infrastructure.
Prisma Cloud taps 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 an agent-based approach to secure your host, container, and serverless computing environments against vulnerabilities, malware, and compliance violations.
For visibility, compliance and governance of your cloud environments Prisma Cloud is available as a cloud-delivered or SaaS service. For securing your host, container, and functions across the application lifecycle, Prisma Cloud is available as:
- Prisma Cloud Compute, which is the SaaS version. 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.
- Prisma Cloud Compute Edition, which is self-hosted . You must deploy and operate the Console and Defenders in your own environment.
