Technology Overview

Technology Overview provides an inventory of technologies in use across an organization’s software development delivery lifecycle such as AWS EC2, GitHub, Jenkins and so on. In addition, Technologies lists technologies that exist but that are not integrated into the environment, or suspected traces of technologies that remain after technologies have been removed. This information provides valuable insights and allows you to identify both known and unknown technologies in the organization, monitor the transition between technologies, and reduce the attack surface of the organization by removing unused assets and integrating technologies with Prisma Cloud. In addition, 'Technologies' enhances coverage by allowing you to properly onboard un-managed technologies that have been identified.

Integrating technologies in your environment not currently connected with the Prisma Cloud platform enhances your technology coverage, thereby improving your overall security posture.

To access 'Technologies', in Application Security select > Home > Technologies. The Technologies Overview page opens as the default view, displaying an inventory of technologies detected in the organization.

The Technology inventory table includes the following details.

• Technology: The detected technology
• Category: The category that the technology is assigned to, such as VCS, CI/CD and production
• Source: A list of data sources such as webhooks and applications detected in the organization, which provide evidence of the technology. See 'Source' in the the resource explorer below for more details
• First Detected: When the technology was first detected

You can search for data in the table through the search bar.

Selecting a technology in the inventory opens the resource explorer displaying additional information about the selected artifact.

• The Overview tab opens as the default view, providing metadata of the technology in your organization including a description, the category that the technology is classified as, when first and last detected, as well as the most recent evidence of the existence of the technology, or when evidence of a technology was removed

  
• The Source tab provides the integration with Prisma Cloud, integration status, the location and details of the evidence that the technology exists or may exist, or the remnants of the technology exist in your organization, divided by category that the evidence is classified as, such as CI Credentials, CI Plugins and so on. In addition, you can see the whether the technology is connected to Prisma Cloud. This will allow you to know whether your technology is protected

  

Filters

You can apply the following filters to narrow a search for a technology.

• Technology: Filter by technology detected in the organization’s engineering environment
• Category: Filter by the environment in which the technology was detected such as CI/CD pipeline, VCS such as GitHub, production
• Source: Filter by data sources which provide evidence of the technology
• First Detected: Filter by date that the technology was first detected
