With Cortex Cloud you can see your cloud environment mapped in a more visual way to get a better understanding of your cloud estate. Once you log in to Cortex Cloud, the Cloud Security Command Center is displayed, which provides you with a bird’s eye view of your entire cloud ecosystem.

After you onboard your cloud or code providers, the data collected by Cortex Cloud is mapped into Asset groups.

  • The different types of data being ingested such as, audit logs, configurations, data coming from workloads is displayed on the left.

  • The breakdown of the different parts of your environment including:

    • Compute (VMs, images, repositories)

    • Data (databases, storage)

    • Identities (human, non-human such as, service accounts), are displayed in the center.

  • Finally, the several hundred posture risk issues that Cortex Cloud detected are now grouped into few Posture Cases that you can remediate are displayed on the right of the Command Center UI.

The Command Center also provides you details on the total number of assets in your environment, number of issues closed as well as the amount of time saved. image12.png

Cortex Cloud includes a unified Asset Inventory, which provides a complete list of your different assets in a single place. Here you can see your AI models and deployments, Applications, APIs, and all your Compute instances, Data assets, and Identities.
