About Cortex® Cloud™
Cortex® Cloud™ unifies multicloud protection with real-time detection and response to arm security teams with unprecedented context, faster action, and better collaboration - from code to cloud to SOC.
Solution Overview
Managing security in today’s rapidly evolving cloud environments is a challenge. Eighty percent of enterprise incidents occur in the cloud, yet traditional tools often fall short. Cortex® Cloud changes that, enabling teams to remediate in minutes, block in real time, and investigate and respond in near real time. Powered by Precision AI®, Cortex Cloud delivers unparalleled protection from code to cloud to SOC.
Application Security
Eliminate risk from reaching production. Cortex Cloud natively integrates with engineering ecosystems to prevent risks and secure applications by design:
- Centralized visibility: Application security posture management provides visibility across AppSec tools and third-party scanners for consistent security across the lifecycle.
- Ecosystem security: Secure the engineering ecosystem — code, supply chain, and tools — from a single platform.
- Agile guardrails: Prevent risk from reaching production with agile guardrails that enable developers to automatically apply best practices from within native developer tools.
- Risk management: Manage risks with combined context from code, pipelines, runtime, and applications, prioritizing based on exploitation probability and business impact.
Cloud Posture Security
Cortex Cloud centralizes, automates, and scales cloud security to measurably improve detection, prioritization, and remediation of cloud risks:
- Comprehensive view: Gain a full view of your cloud infrastructure, compute, identities, data, and AI.
- Attack path detection: Detect attack paths with correlated misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, identity risks, and AI threats.
- Intelligent risk correlation: Consolidate issues into fully contextualized, high-priority cases with intelligent risk correlation.
- AI-driven resolution: Resolve multiple alerts with AI-driven recommendations for an average 25-fold reduction in workflows.
- Compliance and reporting: Eliminate compliance violations, generate audit-ready reports, and monitor posture.
- Capability consolidation: Consolidate capabilities typically found in CSPM, CIEM, DSPM, AI-SPM, and vulnerability management tools.
Cloud Runtime Security
Stop attacks. Prevent known and unknown threats with elite threat intelligence and runtime protection:
- Real-time protection: Prevent cloud attacks, including behavioral threats, exploits, ransomware, and malware.
- Workload protection: Protect workloads across diverse environments — virtual machines (VMs), containers, Kubernetes clusters, and serverless functions — with a single agent.
- Vulnerability scanning: Scan for vulnerabilities and compliance to reduce risk.
- Industry-leading results: Achieve the highest prevention rate among vendors with zero false positives that could disrupt critical business operations.
- Flexible deployment options: Choose between the full or lightweight agent and improve performance by 50%

Why Cortex Cloud?
Palo Alto Networks designed the platform to help you maximize your cloud posture in the most efficient way possible. Here is how:

Because Palo Alto Networks has the data, they cross correlate security issues automatically to identify attack paths to your critical cloud assets. For example, a publicly exposed virtual machine with log4j has admin permissions, enabling lateral movement to sensitive data stores. This is just one of hundreds of attack path scenarios that we detect.
Palo Alto Networks pinpoints single problems causing multiple risks and impacting several cloud assets. Then, they will provide you with an action plan to address the single problem. For example, the platform recommends fixing one IAM role that can effectively break a dozen attack paths. Instead of opening 1 ticket for every single risk, you can apply 1 fix and remove several risks.
The platform consolidates AppSec tools into a single single risk, policy and automation engine — bringing together best in class AppSec tools with comprehensive visibility into the engineering ecosystem and 3rd party findings to centralize application posture making it easier to apply context-aware security policies across the entire application lifecycle.
Cortex Cloud is able to leverage machine learning (ML)-anomaly detection, malware analysis, and behavior modeling on the workload to stop zero day attacks, safeguard against malware, stop anomalous behavior and prevent vulnerability exploits.
