[{"type":"text","content":"SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), the global cybersecurity leader, today announced Prisma® Cloud 3.0, the industry's first integrated platform to shift security left — significantly improving organizations' entire cloud security posture by reducing security risk at runtime. With a customer base that already includes 77% of the Fortune 100, the most complete Cloud Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) now also offers organizations cloud code security to embed critical protections in the development process, agentless security to complement existing agent-based protection and Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM) for Microsoft Azure®.\nThe rate of development and introduction of new cloud applications is increasing exponentially as organizations accelerate cloud adoption. Yet a single misconfiguration in the code templates that development and DevOps teams rely on can lead to thousands of alerts in runtime that security teams must then address. Prisma Cloud 3.0 proactively addresses such misconfigurations by embedding Infrastructure as Code (IaC) security and code fixes directly into developer tools across the development lifecycle.\n\"We developed Prisma Cloud as a fully integrated platform with best-of-breed capabilities that help our customers stay one step ahead of attackers and threats as their security needs evolve,\" said Ankur Shah, senior vice president of product management, Prisma Cloud at Palo Alto Networks. \"Prisma Cloud 3.0 takes that commitment even further. Our recent Unit 42 Cloud Threat Report shows the extent of emerging cloud code security risks: we found 63% of templates used in building cloud infrastructure contained misconfigurations that can expose environments to vulnerabilities. Prisma Cloud's new capabilities secure cloud environments from development to runtime in a single platform, shifting security left to proactively address issues that begin in development.\"\nEarlier this year, Gartner® created the CNAPP category, stating that \"optimal security of cloud-native applications requires an integrated approach that starts in development and extends to runtime protection,\" and urging organizations to evaluate \"cloud-native application protection platforms that provide a complete life cycle approach.\" With capabilities already r...
