Prisma Cloud by Palo Alto Networks extends its cloud security capabilities to the development environment through the integration with Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) plugins. Among the available options, Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ are supported by Prisma Cloud as part of its Code Security features. These IDE plugins enable developers to incorporate security insights directly into their development workflows, facilitating early detection and remediation of vulnerabilities and compliance issues in the codebase. Visual Studio Code, known for its versatility and extensive plugin ecosystem, and IntelliJ, popular for its powerful coding assistance and ergonomic design, are both widely used by developers. The integration with Prisma Cloud allows for seamless scanning of code for vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and compliance with security policies, fostering a DevSecOps culture by shifting security left into the early stages of the development lifecycle.

Block — Defender stops the entire container if a process that violates your policy attempts to run.

To protect pods in an environment from Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) attacks, the development team should create a Container Cloud Native Application Firewall (CNAF) policy. This policy should be targeted at the specific resource (e.g., a particular pod or set of pods), with the option for XSS protection checked, and the action set to "prevent." This configuration ensures that any XSS attacks directed at the targeted containers are effectively blocked.

In the Anomaly settings of a cloud security platform, choosing a High alert disposition severity is crucial when the objective is to generate alerts for both low and high severity incidents, especially in scenarios such as reporting unknown browsers and OS, impossible time travel, or account hijacking attempts. Setting the alert severity to High ensures that the security team is promptly notified of both overt and subtle anomalies, enabling quick response to potential security threats that may indicate unauthorized access or suspicious activities within the cloud environment.
