Palo Alto Networks brings Code to Cloud Intelligence

Palo Alto Networks reimagined how enterprises approach cloud security with the integrated Code to Cloud intelligence introduced as part of the Prisma Cloud Darwin release. Today marks a “Darwin moment” for cloud security as Prisma Cloud pushes organizations to evolve beyond single point solutions and adopt a holistic approach that provides a single source of truth. With code-to-cloud intelligence, security and engineering teams can quickly prioritize top security risks and address issues in code within minutes rather than days. 

With its new Code to Cloud intelligence, Prisma Cloud — the most complete cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP) — offers a single trusted place that connects insights from the developer environment through application runtime for security teams to contextualize alerts and pinpoint remediations. This intelligence effectively prevents risk and stops breaches while enhancing the end-user experience and improving developer and security team collaboration. 

Ankur Shah, Senior Vice President, Prisma Cloud, Palo Alto Networks, said, “The only way to secure applications from code to cloud is by fending off risk from entering the development pipeline and preventing breaches of applications in production. This can only be achieved through an intelligent CNAPP platform like Prisma Cloud that gathers intelligence throughout the application lifecycle so security teams can precisely trace vulnerabilities and misconfigurations back to their origin in the source code. Prisma Cloud’s Darwin release simplifies cloud security and improves productivity and collaboration across code, infrastructure, and runtime security.” 

In many organizations, the ratio of developers to security professionals can be 100 to 1, resulting in understaffed teams. The current approach of working in silos does not guarantee comprehensive code to cloud security. This gap will widen as developers increasingly use AI to write and deploy code more quickly. Prisma Cloud, now with Code to Cloud intelligence, fosters collaboration between developers and security professionals by linking production security issues to specific remediation recommendations in code. 

Anil Valluri, Vice President, India and SAARC, Palo Alto Networks, said, “Securing the code to cloud pipeline is as important as securing the software being delivered. Increased cloud adoption means developers must deliver production code at warp-speed. Our State of Cybersecurity survey found that, while adopting cloud security is a key focus for Indian organisations, securing SecDevOps is way lower on the agenda. But today 75% of organizations deploy updated code to production weekly, while 38% commit new code daily, making code-to-cloud security the need of the hour. 

Prisma Cloud’s new integrated Code to Cloud intelligence provides a single source of truth around application risk for developers, operations and security teams. It will deliver vital application context to uncover and prevent complex risks, with easy remediation across code, infrastructure and runtime environment.”
