Cortex Cloud

Cloud Security

The Cortex Cloud connector integrates with Palo Alto Networks Cortex Cloud (the Cloud Posture Security / CNAPP platform, accessed through the Cortex public_api). It synchronizes cloud asset inventory (cloud resources, hosts, container images, containers, serverless functions), the cloud accounts and asset groups they belong to, CSPM posture and compliance violations with their definitions, and vulnerabilities with their definitions and the packages they affect.
