# Introducing Cortex Cloud ## Bringing together best-in-class CDR with the next version of Prisma Cloud's leading CNAPP for real-time cloud security. ## Gartner® forecasts that through 2025, 99% of cloud security failures will be the customer’s fault. Complete visibility into every deployed resource as well as absolute confidence in their configuration and compliance status is foundational to a robust cloud security posture. ### Read about our unique approach to Cloud Security Posture Management. [Download the datasheet](https://www.paloaltonetworks.com/resources/datasheets/cloud-security-posture-management) ### Resources and services are spread across many clouds Most organizations today use at least three clouds, each with their own security tooling and policy engines. Gaining centralized visibility and consistent control across cloud environments is essential to streamline SOC operations and deliver security for cloud environments and applications. ### The rate of deployment is only accelerating The high rate at which new resources are added and changed, combined with a universal lack of good cloud security policy management, challenges security teams to keep up and continuously enforce security policies. ### Cloud compliance is ever-changing Compliance is never “one and done.” Given the highly dynamic, distributed nature of cloud environments and the fact that frameworks were developed for on-premises environments, cloud compliance can be exceedingly complex. ## Prisma Cloud named a Leader in the 2024 Frost Radar™: CSPM Report [Read the report](https://start.paloaltonetworks.com/frost-radar-cspm-leader-2024.html) ## Gain Complete Visibility into All Your Multicloud Resources Prisma Cloud provides security teams with full visibility into all of their cloud assets and simplifies compliance reporting. Prisma Cloud maintains support for more than 75 compliance standards as well as custom frameworks. It also enables one-click audit-ready reporting. With a single solution, prevent misconfigurations and drift by immediately enforcing policy guardrails from a library of more than 1500 prebuilt cloud security policies. - Support for the world’s five largest clouds. - Complete visibility into every deployed resource. - Continuously enforce compliance. - Cloud asset inventory - Configuration management - Easy-to-use query language - Compliance reporting - Automated remediation ## Our approach to Visibility, Compliance and Governance ### Cloud asset inventory Maintaining a current inventory of deployed resources requires continuous discovery and automatic classification as soon as new resources are deployed. Prisma Cloud also maintains a history of configuration changes, enabling users to understand exactly when a new security issue was introduced and by whom, to simplify cloud forensics and auditing. - #### A single dashboard for all your cloud assets Continuously track resources across multiple clouds and surface their risk posture in a single view for comprehensive security. - #### Support for the world’s five largest clouds Enjoy comprehensive security for all your assets, with support for AWS®, Azure®, Google Cloud, Alibaba Cloud and Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. - #### Broad coverage for more visibility As cloud providers continuously roll out new services, traditional CSPM tools may take several months before extending coverage to those services. Prisma Cloud rolls out new software updates daily, meaning new services could be supported in days, not months. - #### Detailed resource classification Use API metadata to automatically determine the resource types that compose every environment, workload and application. Understanding the types of resources deployed is a key element to determining security posture. - #### Real-time and historical views into risk Track the risk posture of assets in real time and gain detailed historical context from fine-grained audit trail analysis.

Prisma Cloud ships with more than 1,500 policies aligned to compliance frameworks and industry best practices. - #### Immediately enforce security guardrails Ensure a strong cloud security posture from day one without having to build hundreds of policies from scratch. Leverage the rich policy library built into Prisma Cloud. - #### Prevent configuration drift Continuously enforce security policies and ensure resources perpetually align to guardrails. When resources can be created and destroyed in minutes, it's important to ensure security policies stay relevant. - #### Augment your security with custom policies Adjust Prisma Cloud policies to meet your specific requirements or add custom policies to bolster prebuilt policies for more complete coverage.

Perform configuration checks on resources and query network events across different cloud platforms. Turn queries into custom cloud-agnostic policies and define remediation steps as well as compliance implications. - #### Immediately gain insights Perform configuration checks on resources deployed on different cloud platforms and gain unmatched visibility and insights into user and network events. - #### Ask nearly any question Search for the configuration of cloud resources, audit all the console and API access events in your cloud environment or search real-time network events in your environment. - #### Craft cloud-agnostic policies Turn any RQL query into a cloud-agnostic policy with a single click. Map compliance frameworks or remediation steps for each policy for a seamless experience across multicloud environments.
