Description

View Saved Filters as Saved Views

Secure the Infrastructure

24.2.2

Saved Filters on Prisma Cloud are now available as Saved Views on the Alerts, Compliance, and Governance pages. Navigate to Home > Alerts/Compliance/Governance > Overview to find your filter combinations available as Saved Views. The following caveats apply:

  • Views are no longer limited to a maximum of 20.

  • Saved Views are enabled by default for the persona (Cloud/Runtime/Application Security) you created them in. If you use the Prisma Cloud switcher to try another persona, the view is disabled but you have the option to re-enable it.

  • All users, except those who were added after the migration to Saved Views will have access to previously saved filter configurations.

You can also create new Saved Views to store select filter combinations and table configurations for a customizable look at your security posture.

OAuth 2.0 support for ServiceNow Integration

Secure the Infrastructure

24.2.2

Prisma Cloud has enhanced its ServiceNow integration with OAuth 2.0 support, establishing a standardized and secure authentication framework for heightened security. This enhancement simplifies access token management, allowing Prisma Cloud to interact seamlessly with ServiceNow on your behalf, without exposing sensitive credentials. The result reduces the risk of unauthorized access while ensuring a more efficient and secure integration experience.

Update Enhancements

Secure the Infrastructure

24.2.2

Prisma Cloud includes the following enhancements for config from network RQL searches and policies:

  • Significant performance improvement on the Investigate page, with search results now delivered faster on an average.

  • Support for asset exclusion based on asset name, VPC ID, and tags.

The following enhancements are specific to AWS:

  • Support for NLB and ALB listener port analysis.

  • Network path analysis now considers security groups attached to NLB.

  • Better representation of network path for East-West traffic over a transit gateway.

  • Better representation of network path for East-West traffic within a single VPC.

The following enhancement is specific to Azure:

  • Support for NLB and ALB listener port analysis.

Support Amazon Linux 2023

Secure the Runtime

24.2.2

Prisma Cloud now supports Amazon Linux 2023 OS scans and security feed integration for Amazon Linux 2023.

Enhanced CSV Organization

Secure the Runtime

24.2.2

Segregating vulnerability and compliance findings based on Download Context.

Enhanced Compliance Report

Secure the Runtime

24.2.2

Added a new Result column to the compliance report CSV file. To get the report, go to Monitor > Compliance > Compliance Explorer and select Containers, Images, or Hosts. The new column shows either pass or fail for each resource and the corresponding compliance check ID.

Detect Go Stdlib Vulnerabilities at the Package Level

Secure the Runtime

24.2.2

In O’Neal Update 3, Prisma Cloud has enhanced its capability to detect vulnerabilities in Go libraries. Previously, a broad approach was used for Go stdlib libraries, categorizing CVEs as "Go" vulnerabilities rather than associating them with specific vulnerable standard libraries. This update offers a more precise classification, allowing for the identification of specific vulnerable symbols within libraries. Moreover, the latest agents can now detect both stdlib with symbols they utilize and the installed Go runtime. This comprehensive approach enables Prisma Cloud to conduct more accurate vulnerability assessments, leading to a significant reduction in false positives. If you have utilized the Go detection capabilities previously, you are likely to experience a noticeable reduction in the number of reported vulnerabilities due to this improvement.

Support for Just in Time (JIT) Auto-Provisioning

Secure the Infrastructure

24.2.1

Prisma Cloud offers System Administrators the ability to auto-provision users using the Open ID Connect (OIDC) Single Sign-On (SSO) configuration. Configure OIDC Just in Time (JIT) provisioning to grant Prisma Cloud users limited real-time access when they log into their IdP with the appropriate credentials.

Support for New Region on GCP

Secure the Infrastructure

24.2.1

Prisma Cloud now ingests data for resources deployed in the Johannesburg region on GCP.

To review a list of supported regions, select Inventory > Assets, and choose Cloud Region from the filter drop-down.

Added non-default branch scanning

Secure the Source

24.2.1

You can now scan branches other than the main or master, such as a feature branch or sprint branch, to obtain a comprehensive overview of the security issues in those branches before merging them into the main branch. For more information, under the Application Security documentation, select Get Started and navigate to Non-Default Branch Scan.

New Policies

Policies

Description

Azure Batch Account configured with overly permissive network access

24.2.2

This policy identifies Batch Accounts configured with overly permissive network access. By default, Batch accounts are accessible from the all networks. With an Account access IP firewall, you can restrict it further to only a set of IPv4 addresses or IPv4 address ranges. With Private access Virtual Networks, the network traffic path is secured on both ends. It is recommended to configure the Batch account with an IP firewall or by Virtual Network, so that the Batch account is accessible only to restricted entities.

Policy Severity— High

Policy Type— Config

Azure Storage Account storing Machine Learning workspace high business impact data is publicly accessible

24.2.2

This policy identifies Azure Storage Accounts storing Machine Learning workspace high business impact data that are publicly accessible. Azure Storage account stores machine learning artifacts such as job logs. By default, this storage account is used when you upload data to the workspace. The attacker could exploit publicly accessible storage account to get machine learning workspace high business impact data logs and could breach in to the system by leveraging data exposed. It is recommended to restrict storage account access to only to the machine learning services as per business requirement.

Policy Severity— High

Policy Type— Config

AWS account security contact information is not set

24.2.2

This policy identifies the AWS account which has not set security contact information. Providing dedicated contact information for security specific, AWS can directly communicate security advisories to the team responsible for handling security-related issues. Failure to specify security contact info in AWS risks missing critical advisories, leading to delayed incident response and increased vulnerability exposure. It is recommended to set security contact information to receive notifications.

Policy Severity— Information

Policy Type— Config

Azure Cognitive Services account configured with local authentication

24.2.2

This policy identifies Azure Cognitive Services accounts that are configured with local authentication methods instead of AD identity. Local authentication allows users to access the service using a local account and password, rather than an Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) account. Disabling local authentication methods improves security by ensuring that Cognitive Services accounts require Active Directory identities exclusively for authentication. It is recommended to disable local authentication methods on your Cognitive Services account, instead use Azure Active Directory identities.

Policy Severity— Low

Policy Type— Config

Azure Machine learning workspace is not configured with private endpoint

24.2.2

This policy identifies Azure Machine learning workspaces that are not configured with private endpoint. Private endpoints in workspace resources allow clients on a virtual network to securely access data over Azure Private Link. Configuring a private endpoint enables access to traffic coming from only known networks and prevents access from malicious or unknown IP addresses which includes IP addresses within Azure. It is recommended to create private endpoint for secure communication for your Machine learning workspaces.

Policy Severity— Medium

Policy Type— Config

AWS Systems Manager EC2 instance having NON_COMPLIANT patch compliance status

24.2.2

This policy identifies if the AWS Systems Manager patch compliance status is "NON_COMPLIANT" with critical or high severity for managed instances. Instances labeled non-compliant might lack essential patches for security, stability, or meeting standards. Non-compliant instances pose security risks because attackers often target unpatched systems to exploit known weaknesses. As a security best practice, it’s recommended to apply any missing patches to the affected instances.

Policy Severity— High

Policy Type— Config

AWS Log metric filter and alarm does not exist for AWS Organization changes

24.2.1

Identifies the AWS regions that do not have a log metric filter and alarm for AWS Organizations changes. Monitoring changes to AWS Organizations will help to ensure any unwanted, accidental, or intentional modifications that may lead to unauthorized access or other security breaches within the AWS account. It is recommended that a metric filter and alarm be established for detecting changes to AWS Organization’s configurations.

This policy will trigger an alert if you have at least one Cloudtrail with the multi trial enabled, Logs all management events in your account, and is not set with a specific log metric filter and alarm.

Policy Type— Config

AWS Log metric filter and alarm does not exist for usage of root account

24.2.1

identifies the AWS regions that do not have a log metric filter and alarm for usage of a root account. Monitoring for root account logins will provide visibility into the use of a fully privileged account and an opportunity to reduce its use it. Failure to monitor root account logins may result in a lack of visibility into unauthorized use or attempts to access the root account, posing potential security risks to your AWS environment. It is recommended that a metric filter and alarm be established for detecting changes to CloudTrail’s configurations.

This policy will trigger alert if you have at least one Cloudtrail with the multi trial is enabled, Logs all management events in your account and is not set with specific log metric filter and alarm.

AWS IAM AWSCloudShellFullAccess policy is attached to IAM roles, users, or IAM groups

24.2.1

Identifies the AWSCloudShellFullAccess policy attached to IAM roles, users, or IAM groups. AWS CloudShell is a convenient way of running CLI commands against AWS services. The 'AWSCloudShellFullAccess' IAM policy, providing unrestricted CloudShell access, poses a risk of data exfiltration, allowing malicious admins to exploit file upload/download capabilities for unauthorized data transfer. As a security best practice, it is recommended to grant least privilege access like granting only the permissions required to perform a task, instead of providing excessive permissions.
