Prisma Alerts

Overview

Prisma Cloud is the industry's most comprehensive cloud native security platform (CNSP), with the industry's broadest security and compliance coverage for users, applications, data, and the entire cloud native technology stack throughout the development lifecycle and across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

The Prisma Alerts connector fetches the alerts generated by Prisma Cloud when it detects a violation in a policy that is included in an active alert rule.

Pre-requisites

CustomerName is required only if you are a multi-tenant user and the body parameters of your login call include a username and password instead of an access key ID and secret key, then you will also need to provide the customerName. Otherwise it is not required.
