This guide describes how to configure agentless vulnerability and compliance scanning for virtual machines in Microsoft Azure subscriptions.   This article will use a credential dedicated to the agentless scanning process.  

The Palo Alto Networks Prisma Cloud (CSPM and CWPP) not only can help the organizations to discover the impacted resources, but can also protect the exploit from happening.   Vulnerabilities or CVEs are publicly disclosed security vulnerabilities that threat actors can exploit to gain unauthorized access to systems or networks. CVEs are widely present in programs and operating systems until an organization works to remediate the known CVEs.  The list of known vulnerabilities continues to increase daily, and the prioritization of these vulnerabilities change rapidly as exploits are found.    This article will guide you on leveraging the Prisma Cloud Product to gain visibility of your cloud resources affected by any vulnerabilities/CVEs.  In this article, we will use Log4Shell and/or SpringShell as an example of a vulnerability to demonstrate how Prisma Cloud can help with understanding your Attack Surface. 

Vulnerabilities or CVEs are publicly disclosed security vulnerabilities that threat actors can exploit to gain unauthorized access to systems or networks. CVEs are widely present in programs and operating systems until an organization works to remediate the known CVEs. For many organizations, one of the first steps with cloud and container security is to discover and patch vulnerabilities in their environments.
