A common customer question is how to view host vulnerabilities in the Asset Inventory for each Cloud Service Provider. Host vulnerabilities are easily identified in the Runtime Security Module, by selecting Monitor - Vulnerabilities - Hosts.    Most Cloud Service Providers have a managed offering-- Azure has AKS, Google offers GKE, AWS has EKS and Red Hat offers RedHat openshift; in this article, specifically, we will focus on EKS. The container workloads for all of these managed offerings run on host machines and those machines can contain vulnerabilities.   The Prisma Cloud Command Center (Figure 1) and Vulnerabilities (Figure 2) dashboards are the first high level dashboards that provide visibility into Vulnerabilities, and its purpose is to identify top issues by severity for hosts, images and repositories.  In order to narrow the scope and filter based on EKS worker nodes in Cloud Security, it is recommended to explore the asset inventory.
