Cloud-native application development has revolutionized the software development industry with its agility, scalability and flexibility. However, the fast-paced and complex nature of cloud-native application development presents a challenge for security teams. It can be difficult to keep up with the constantly evolving threat landscape and secure applications and infrastructure from code to cloud.
Enter Prisma Cloud – a comprehensive cloud security platform that delivers automated security for cloud-native infrastructure and applications, integrated with developer tools. With Prisma Cloud, developers and security teams can work together to embed security across the software development cycle, identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, compliance violations and exposed secrets earlier in the development lifecycle.
One of the key features of Prisma Cloud is its ability to provide a single tool for securing code across all modern architectures and software supply chains. The platform supports multiple languages, runtimes, frameworks and provides consistent controls from build time to runtime. With connected visibility and policy controls, engineering teams can secure their full stack and ensure that all deployed code is secure.
Prisma Cloud’s Infrastructure as Code Scanning streamlines security throughout the software development lifecycle by using automation and embedding security into workflows in DevOps tooling for Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Dockerfile, Serverless and ARM templates. Developers can automate cloud security scanning in code, add automated checks for misconfigurations and exposed secrets at every step of the software development lifecycle. It leverages the power of open source and the community with Checkov, the leading open source policy-as-code tool powering Prisma Cloud Infrastructure as Code Security.
In addition to Infrastructure as Code Scanning, Prisma Cloud provides Container Image Scanning, a key component of cloud-native applications. Container images often include many resources outside the control of developers, such as operating systems and configurations. Prisma Cloud allows security teams to implement guardrails to prevent vulnerabilities, compliance violations and exposed secrets in container images. Developers can identify vulnerabilities in container images using twistcli, get the fix status and remediation guidance and alert or block vulnerabilities by severity level.
Policy as Code is another essential feature of Prisma Cloud, which provides controls built into code that can be replicated, version-controlled and tested against live code repositories. With policy as code, developers can build and control policies using code, define, test and version control check-lists, skip-lists and graph-based custom policies in Python and YAML for IaC templates. They can also deploy and configure accounts and agents in code, use Terraform to onboard accounts, deploy agents and configure runtime policies, including ingestion and protection based on OpenAPI and Swagger files.
Prisma Cloud also provides Supply Chain Security, which is critical to protecting cloud-native software supply chains from attacks. With Prisma Cloud’s Supply Chain Graph, developers can visualize the supply chain components and understand the attack surface. They can align VCS configurations to best practices, automatically manage the posture of version control systems (VCS) to ensure that security best practices, such as branch protections, are in place, and prevent image poisoning attacks using Prisma Cloud image scanning and container sandbox analysis.
Lastly, Prisma Cloud addresses Secrets Security, a crucial component of cloud-native application security. With its comprehensive secrets security features, Prisma Cloud can detect and remediate secrets, providing automatic feedback and fixes in code. Developers can leverage native integrations for IDEs, VCS, and CI/CD tooling to help them ship secure code in their existing workflows.
In conclusion, Prisma Cloud delivers automated security for cloud-native infrastructure and applications, providing a comprehensive solution for securing code across all modern architectures and software supply chains. It provides a single tool for code security backed by an open source community and years of expertise and threat research, helping you to secure your full stack without leaving your tools. By adopting tools like Prisma Cloud, organizations can ensure that their cloud-native applications and infrastructure are secure, compliant and resilient.
