Cloud Network Security

As cloud adoption accelerates, organizations have a much greater responsibility to protect their digital assets on the network. Sustaining a reliable and secure network in the cloud becomes challenging to balance.

Cloud Network Security Explainer

1

More clouds can create more challenges

As enterprises take advantage of multi-cloud architectures, working with non-integrated tools becomes challenging. Security teams must juggle multiple network security tools and vendors, leading to increased cost and complexity.

2

Lack of visibility and context hinders security

Security teams have many native tools available, but they don’t gain enough visibility into application dependencies, content and threats on the cloud network to make informed security decisions or maintain compliance.

3

Safeguarding the network is cumbersome

As enterprises adopt more clouds, security teams want less tools with more capabilities. Instead, they are left with inconsistent network security across clouds and limited threat prevention, leading to increased risk.

THE PRISMA CLOUD SOLUTION

Our approach to Cloud Network Security

Cloud Threat Detection

Prisma Cloud employs advanced ML to monitor normal network behavior of each customer’s cloud environment, and then detect network anomalies and zero-day attacks effectively with minimal false positives. With Prisma Cloud you can detect network anomalies without changing your network infrastructure.

Port scan and sweep detection

Detect common reconnaissance techniques per MITRE ATT&CK Cloud Matrix to facilitate remediation activities, such as closing ports opened unintentionally.
Unusual port and server activity detection

Spot unusual activities and detect evasive tactics against critical assets such as PII, financial information and others in preparation for data exfiltration.
DNS threat detection

Identify DNS-based threats, such as domain generation algorithm (DGA) and cryptomining – all without changing your DNS infrastructure.

True Internet Exposure

Prisma Cloud surfaces the effective internet exposure of critical cloud assets, providing greater visibility for security teams while reducing alert noise.

Comprehensive visibility

Spend less time combing through cloud configurations to understand possible network paths. Prisma Cloud builds a complete network path to and from cloud resources to give you easy-to-understand visibility.
Improve risk assessment

Easily identify open pathways that allow lateral movement across the cloud infrastructure and make informed security decisions that help you reduce the attack surface radius and partition the network.
Reduce alert fatigue

Stop false positives and alerts against single network points (e.g., security groups). Prisma Cloud analyzes the network exposure of resources before generating alerts so that security teams can focus on critical risks.

Microsegmentation

See how applications communicate in a map and stop lateral movement of threats. With Prisma Cloud, security teams can reduce risk without changing the network.

Network flow mapping

See how workloads communicate in a map. Prisma Cloud provides a radar view of workloads with vulnerability context to understand workload connectivity risk.
Easy path to enforcement

Prisma Cloud helps organizations enforce segmentation without causing network outages. With allow, alert and blocking actions, you can progressively achieve segmentation at your own pace.
Shift left

Use cloud-native attributes when writing network segmentation rules (images, namespaces, clusters, labels, etc).

Prisma Cloud

Prisma Cloud delivers the industry’s broadest security and compliance coverage—for applications, data, and the entire cloud native technology stack—throughout the development lifecycle and across multi- and hybrid-cloud environments.
