About Prisma Cloud (Palo Alto)

Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks offers an integrated Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) platform designed to secure applications throughout the entire development lifecycle, from code to runtime. It is tailored for enterprise organizations managing complex, multi-cloud environments, providing visibility, risk prioritization, and real-time threat detection to protect cloud-native workloads and infrastructure. Leveraging Precision AI, Prisma Cloud analyzes vast amounts of data to detect and respond to threats proactively, helping security teams stay ahead of evolving risks.

The platform is ideal for CIOs seeking a unified security solution that integrates infrastructure protection, code security, and runtime defense. It supports developer-friendly security practices such as Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scanning, CI/CD security, and secrets management, while also offering runtime protections like threat detection, serverless security, and host security. Prisma Cloud’s AI-powered risk insights and conversational Copilot feature enable faster, more informed decision-making without requiring specialized expertise, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing cloud security complexity.

API Security Platforms
The API is now the primary attack surface, and a WAF pointed at it isn't API security. Evaluate Salt, Akamai (Noname), Imperva, F5, Traceable, Wallarm, Cequence, and Data Theorem on whether they actually discover your shadow APIs and catch BOLA and business-logic abuse at runtime — not just sign endpoints off as “protected.”
Attack Surface Management (ASM / CTEM)
Evaluate Wiz, CrowdStrike Falcon Surface, Microsoft Defender EASM, Cortex Xpanse, Censys, CyCognito, Tenable, and runZero across EASM, CAASM, and platform-embedded camps — judged on discovery accuracy and how cleanly the surface feeds prioritization, not how many assets it claims to find.
Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB)
Evaluate Netskope, Microsoft Defender for Cloud Apps, Zscaler, and Palo Alto for SaaS security, shadow IT discovery, and data protection.
