SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
April 28, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW) today is delivering
innovations to Prisma® Cloud to help organizations
ensure no workload is left unprotected. The new capabilities also
increase automation and detection, simplify compliance checks, and
deepen visibility into malware threats for containers and hosts.
Additionally, Palo Alto Networks is unveiling the industry's first
cloud native attack dashboard that extends the MITRE
ATT&CK® framework.
"Organizations currently have large amounts of unprotected
workloads and no efficient or unified way to secure them. Often,
they are managing multiple, single-purpose security solutions to
protect these workload stacks, which can create operational burdens
and security gaps," said Varun Badhwar, senior vice president
for product, Prisma Cloud, at Palo
Alto Networks. "Today's new capabilities further our commitment to
deliver comprehensive cloud workload protection across hybrid and
multi-cloud environments. DevOps teams can now efficiently build
and deploy their workloads and applications rapidly, while helping
security teams deliver protection."
The new Prisma Cloud capabilities
for cloud workload protection are:
- Auto-Detection and Auto-Protection for
Hosts: Prisma Cloud now automatically detects unprotected
virtual machines (VMs) running on AWS®, Microsoft
Azure® and Google Cloud Platform (GCP®), and
seamlessly deploys the Prisma Cloud
Defender agent to help ensure that VMs are not left
unprotected.
- The Industry's First Comprehensive Attack Framework Spanning
Threats to Cloud Native Workloads: Prisma Cloud's new interactive dashboard extends
the MITRE ATT&CK framework to provide a consolidated view of
the entire cloud native application portfolio. This helps
organizations evaluate their defense against specific threat
scenarios, and provides incident response and remediation
capabilities. This attack framework was developed by Palo Alto
Networks Unit 42 threat research and consulting team.
- Anti-Malware Capabilities at Runtime and During Continuous
Integration and Delivery (CI/CD) Scenarios: Prisma Cloud now includes Palo Alto Networks
WildFire® intelligence to provide an additional layer of
runtime protection and deeper visibility into malicious malware
threats with new anti-malware and prevention capabilities for host
and containers, beginning in the build process before the software
is deployed.
- Simplified Compliance for Hosts, Containers and Serverless
Applications: Prisma Cloud Compliance Explorer simplifies
compliance visibility across leading frameworks and CIS (Center for
Internet Security), including new updates to the latest benchmarks,
which join the exisiting six certifications. In addition, a new
user interface delivers a compliance solution for implementing
Docker DISA STIG (Defense Information Systems Agency Security
Technical Implementation Guide).
- Open Source License Analysis and Expanded Software
Composition Analysis: Prisma Cloud adds support for
scanning code repositories with the twistcli command line
interface, as well as new support for scanning GitHub Enterprise
repositories. Additionally, Prisma
Cloud includes advanced license detection to identify open
source licenses in packages, combined with license compliance
rules, to monitor and manage usage within an organization.
"Today's enterprises are running their cloud native applications
on a wide variety of form factors, including a combination of cloud
VMs, containers, Kubernetes, and serverless architectures that all
need to be secured," says ESG Vice President and Group Director,
Cybersecurity, Doug Cahill. "The
latest enhancements to Prisma Cloud
deepen their security capabilities for protecting modern
applications on both containers and Kubernetes, but also
foundational virtual machines from a single, unified solution."
Availability
The new features are available today in
Prisma Cloud Compute Edition, with general availability in Prisma
Cloud Enterprise Edition by late May.
