Cortex Cloud ASPM carefully prioritizes real risks and automates actions across the entire application lifecycle.Palo Alto Networks, the global leader in cybersecurity, has unveiled its latest innovation: Cortex Cloud Application Security Posture Management (ASPM). This new module with a focus on prevention changes how security risks are managed and ensures that problems are blocked before they reach the production environment.
By significantly accelerating the process, security leaders and developers can remediate potential threats 10 times faster and more cost-effectively than before. Cortex Cloud ASPM enables proactive risk management in cloud and AI applications, bringing unprecedented efficiency to security protocols.
A notable feature of this release is its open AppSec partner ecosystem, which facilitates the consolidation of data from various third-party barcode scanners. This streamlined, centralized approach provides improved visibility and the ability to leverage insightful data from native ASPM sources alongside third-party vendors. Some of the featured partners include household names such as Black Duck, Checkmarx, GitLab, HashiCorp, Semgrep, Snyk and Veracode.
This ASPM module is an evolution of the recently introduced Cortex Cloud, which integrates cloud-based application protection with detection and response capabilities. By leveraging AI-ready data spanning code, cloud, and SOC, the Cortex platform revolutionizes security operations by delivering comprehensive application protection.
”As AI-generated code compresses application development from months to hours, security must evolve to protect the speed of innovation,” said Sarit Tager, VP of Product Management, Palo Alto Networks. ”Equipped with an industry-leading CNAPP, class-leading CDR and now proactive ASPM, Cortex Cloud delivers the most comprehensive approach to cloud security and automatically stops risks before they reach production with comprehensive visibility across the entire application lifecycle.”
Cortex Cloud ASPM further enhances existing offerings from Palo Alto Networks and integrates seamlessly with Cortex Cloud to provide:
- Proactive risk prevention: Ensure that safety risks are stopped immediately by using comprehensive data to maintain smooth production flows.
- Accurate prioritization: Identify real risks without disrupting developer workflows, thanks to a synergistic blend of built-in and third-party scanners, as well as contextual information.
- Automated action: Reduce manual intervention with breakthrough automation across the entire application lifecycle.
Cortex Cloud ASPM is currently available as part of an early access program, with a broader release planned for the latter half of 2025. Through this initiative, Palo Alto Networks continues to set the standard for robust security solutions in the ever-changing cloud landscape.
