Which type of behavioral model does Prisma Cloud Compute runtime defense use to create alerts?

Prisma Cloud Compute runtime defense uses a four-dimensional behavioral model to create alerts. This model enhances security by monitoring the runtime behavior of applications and workloads across various dimensions. These dimensions typically encompass aspects such as process execution, network activity, file system changes, and user interactions. By considering these multiple dimensions simultaneously, the system can identify anomalous or potentially malicious activities more effectively.

The four-dimensional model allows for a more comprehensive analysis of behaviors, as it doesn’t just focus on a single aspect of interaction but observes how different elements interact over time. For instance, it can detect patterns that might indicate a security threat by correlating unusual process behavior with atypical network activity or unexpected file modifications. This depth of analysis is essential in modern environments where threat detection and response need to be swift and accurate, making the four-dimensional approach particularly suitable for runtime defense in cloud systems.
