Application Security
Using applications such as online stores and customer portals, companies can provide their customers with services via the Internet. Customers can thus access the company’s services around the clock.
At the same time, however, web applications are also weakening the organization’s perimeter. Queries from the Internet are forwarded and executed directly or with API calls to databases in the company’s back end. This makes the company’s internal resources vulnerable to attack. Even a single vulnerability in a web application can be enough for an attacker to gain access to a web application’s entire database. Once an attacker has successfully compromised a system for the first time, he will attempt to attack other systems within the corporate network. Applications in the cloud should be protected against vulnerabilities, misconfigurations and more as part of the development process in order to make the deployment of applications more secure.

Palo Alto Networks – Prisma Cloud Compute
/in Application Security, Container Security /by Philipp OeschCloud-native application development is fast-paced and complex. It can be a challenge for security teams to keep up. However, several DevOps best practices present an opportunity to use automation to secure apps and infrastructure from code to cloud, alleviating that pressure. Prisma Cloud secures applications from code to cloud, enabling security and DevOps teams to effectively collaborate to accelerate secure cloud-native application development and deployment.
Prisma Cloud embeds comprehensive security across the software development cycle. The platform identifies vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, compliance violations and exposed secrets earlier in the development lifecycle. With scanning support for IaC templates, container images, open source packages and delivery pipelines, Prisma Cloud provides code security backed by an open source community and years of expertise and threat research. With connected visibility and policy controls, engineering teams can secure their full stack without leaving their tools, while security teams can ensure that all deployed code is secure.
