What Is Prisma Cloud, and Why Your Cloud Infrastructure Needs It?
The rapid shift to cloud computing has brought both speed and scale to businesses, but it has also opened the door to new types of security risks. Misconfigurations, compliance violations, exposed data, and unmonitored workloads are just a few of the many challenges organizations face in cloud environments.
That’s where Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks steps in. As a trusted Managed Service Provider (MSP), Network Techlab helps you make the most of this powerful platform to protect your cloud journey from end to end.
What Is Prisma Cloud?
Prisma Cloud is a cloud-native security platform designed to protect your entire cloud environment across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and hybrid setups. It offers visibility, threat detection, compliance monitoring, and runtime protection for cloud workloads, containers, Kubernetes clusters, serverless functions, and infrastructure as code.
Unlike traditional security tools, Prisma Cloud is built specifically for dynamic, multi-cloud ecosystems.
Why Prisma Cloud Is Essential for Modern Cloud Infrastructure
1. Full-Stack Cloud Infrastructure Security
Whether you’re running virtual machines, Docker containers, or Kubernetes, Prisma Cloud provides complete visibility and control. It monitors workloads in real time and helps you detect unusual behaviors before they turn into incidents.
2. Identify and Fix Misconfigurations Early
Cloud misconfigurations are one of the leading causes of data breaches. Prisma Cloud continuously scans your environment to detect security misconfigurations, whether it’s an open S3 bucket or overly permissive IAM (Identity and Access Management) roles, and guides you to fix them.
3. Built-in Cloud Compliance Monitoring
Meeting industry regulations like PCI DSS, HIPAA, or GDPR can be challenging in the cloud. Prisma Cloud automates compliance checks and offers prebuilt policies to help you stay audit-ready without manual effort.
4. Secure the Development Lifecycle
Modern DevOps pipelines are fast, but speed shouldn’t come at the cost of security. Prisma Cloud scans code repositories, container images, and infrastructure templates before they’re deployed, helping you shift security left in the Software Development Lifecycle.
5. Integrated Threat Detection
With machine learning and behavioral analytics, Prisma Cloud flags suspicious activity such as lateral movement, privilege escalation, and command execution so you can stop attacks before damage is done.
