Configure access to the Cortex CLI Tool.
CLI Tools (Cortex CLI) provides a unified command interface to efficiently scan Cloud Workload Protection (CWP), API Security, and Application Security environments with a single installation, enabling integration of security checks into development processes. It controls access to view the CLI Tools setup within the Data Sources & Integrations page ( → ), download the CLI, and generate the required API keys.
Caution
Licence Requirement: Accessing the CLI Tool requires a Cloud Posture Security, Cloud Runtime Security, or Cortex XSIAM Premium license.
This permission only governs the deployment and configuration of the CLI tool itself. To view the actual security findings and vulnerabilities discovered by the CLI scans, users must be granted separate access to the Application Security, Cloud Workload Policies, or Vulnerability Management modules.
For more information, see Cortex CLI.
