A company is migrating its applications to a multi-cloud environment, utilizing both AWS and Azure. They require consistent security policies, centralized visibility, and advanced threat protection across both cloud providers without managing separate security infrastructure for each. Which Palo Alto Networks solution is best suited for this requirement?
- AGlobalProtect Cloud Service
- BPrisma Cloud
- CVM-Series deployed in each cloud
- DCortex XSOAR
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Prisma Cloud
Prisma Cloud is Palo Alto Networks' comprehensive Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) that provides security across the entire application lifecycle in multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments, offering centralized visibility and consistent policy enforcement.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. GlobalProtect Cloud Service (now part of Prisma Access) is focused on secure access for remote users and branches, not multi-cloud application security.
- C. Deploying individual VM-Series NGFWs in each cloud provides security, but lacks the centralized management, consistent policy across clouds, and broader CNAPP capabilities of Prisma Cloud.
- D. Cortex XSOAR is a Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response platform, used for automating security operations, not directly for multi-cloud application security.
Prisma Cloud
Palo Alto Networks' Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) that delivers comprehensive security across the entire application lifecycle for multi-cloud and hybrid cloud environments.
- Provides unified visibility and security for AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes.
- Covers cloud security posture management (CSPM), cloud workload protection (CWPP), and cloud network security.
- Enforces consistent security policies across diverse cloud infrastructure.
Memory trick: For all clouds, a single Prisma is the vision.
