Features Introduced in April 2023
Learn about the new Code Security capabilities on Prisma™ Cloud Enterprise Edition (SaaS) in April 2023.
The following new features or enhancements are available for Prisma Cloud Code Security. These capabilities help agile teams add security checks to their existing IaC (Infrastructure-as-Code) model and enforce security throughout the build lifecycle.
New Features
FEATURE | DESCRIPTION |
Private Registries | To increase the accuracy of dependency trees and fix suggestions in SCA (Software Composition Analysis) based on your environment, you can now integrate your private registries from Settings > Repositories > Add Repositories > Package Registries > Artifactory .
Integrating Private Registries helps you identify accurate dependency trees for packages within your repositories.
On the console you can see a list of Private Registries integrations (Settings > Repositories ). You can remediate vulnerabilities on Code Security > Projects > Vulnerabilities and also make informed decisions from Code Security > Supply Chain after viewing the dependency tree of a private registry. |
Validate Secrets during a Secrets scan | When Prisma Cloud performs a secrets scan, it can now validate certain secrets against public APIs to see if the secret is still active. This allows you to prioritize notifications on secret exposure.
Validation is off by default, but you can enable it Settings > Code Security Configuration > Validate Secrets .
You can access information on validation of secrets on Projects > Secrets , using Resource Explorer where prioritization of a valid secret is either to Suppress it or perform a Manual Fix . Alternatively you can run Checkov on your repositories to filter potentially exposed secrets. |
Multiple Integrations support from a single Prisma Cloud account on Terraform Cloud and Enterprise Run Task | Prisma Cloud now supports multiple integrations for Terraform Cloud Run Task and Terraform Enterprise Run Task organization from a single Prisma Cloud account.  |
