Twistlock was featured on our list of the top container and Kubernetes security vendors<\/a>, where Prisma Cloud now takes its place.<\/p>\n The Twistlock Cloud Native Cybersecurity Platform provided full lifecycle security for containerized environments. From pipeline to perimeter, Twistlock helped customers deploy containers at scale and secure the entire cloud native stack, from the host OS to serverless functions.<\/p>\n As part of the Prisma Cloud, it helps organizations manage rules governing Docker configurations, containers, images, nodes, plugins, and services. They can take advantage of integration with secrets management tools like CyberArk and HashiCorp. They can also ingest Kubernetes audit data and surface rules to identify events to alert on.<\/p>\n Palo Alto integration efforts have resulted in a platform that provides full visibility into all dependencies from containers during the build, deploy, and run phases. Prisma Cloud aggregates and prioritizes vulnerabilities continuously in CI\/CD pipelines and containers running on hosts or on containers as a service, in public and private clouds.<\/p>\n The Twistlock Platform began as a vulnerability management and compliance tool across the container lifecycle, scanning images and serverless functions to prevent security and compliance issues from progressing through the development pipeline. It also offered continuous monitoring of all registries and environments, defense in depth, cloud-native firewalls, and access control for containers, as well as automated, machine-learning driven runtime defense.<\/p>\n Palo Alto\u2019s Prisma Cloud includes all these features but goes well beyond them to provide protection for critical applications, whether they are in containers, in multi-cloud, or hybrid environments. Prisma Cloud’s capabilities include:<\/p>\n Container scans by Prisma Cloud consume 10-15% of memory and 1% of CPU and take about one to five seconds per container. Prisma Cloud tested performance in a scaled-out environment that replicates a real-world workload and configuration. The test environment built on Kubernetes clusters consisted of 20,000 hosts, a console with 16 vCPUs and 50 GB memory, defenders with 2 vCPUs and 8 GB memory running in a container-optimized OS.<\/p>\n A total of 323 images and 192,087 containers were involved \u2013 with a density of 9.6 containers per host. The measured resource consumption came out at 1,474 MiB of RAM and 8% of the CPU for the console, and 83 MiB RAM and 1% CPU for the defender. According to Forrester Consulting\u2019s 2021 study, Prisma Cloud helped organizations improve SecOps efficiency, improve DevOps productivity to enable DevSecOps, reduce material data breaches, and improve compliance productivity.<\/p>\n Prisma Cloud can serve the Kubernetes, Docker, VMware Tanzu, and Red Hat OpenShift container platforms. As the name implies, it is SaaS-delivered via the cloud.<\/p>\n No pricing data is available on Prisma Cloud.<\/p>\n This article was originally written by Sean Michael Kerner<\/a> on Dec. 26, 2018 and revised by Drew Robb on Feb. 10, 2023<\/em>.<\/p>\nWhat Is Twistlock Container Security?<\/strong><\/h2>\n
