Which also means you have different things to worry about Prisma Cloud is a multi-cloud API based public cloud security platform for AWS, Azure and Google Cloud Platform that is helping hundreds of the world's largest public cloud adopters to gain control of their cloud visibility, enforce governance and achieve continuous compliance.

Cyber attacks are growing more frequent and sophisticated by the day. Moving away from siloed approaches our security technologies are natively integrated not cobbled together into our Next-Generation Firewalls, as well as our endpoint and cloud security offerings. Security Subscriptions reduce manual tasks and enhance your security posture by seamlessly working with our self-updating security platform, augmenting global threat intelligence with the use of Threat Prevention, Wildfire, URL Filtering, Wildfire, and newly introduced DNS Security, SD-WAN and Prisma Access (Formerly Global Protect) to counter attacks automatically and in near-real-time

1:20pm- Achieving Automation by using your data and simplifying the SOC - Jeff Lear

Security operations needs a reset. Legacy point products generate endless alerts with too little context, resulting in painfully slow investigations and missed attacks. Transforming how security teams operate requires a new approach fueled by comprehensive data and deep analytics. The Cortex platform delivers a unified experience for prevention, detection, investigation and response to reimagine how you find and stop attacks with end-to-end context and dramatically simplify operations.
