Summary

Cloud security can be challenging due to the overwhelming amount of data produced by tools like Prowler, which can make it difficult to prioritize security issues effectively. To address this, Prowler has introduced PDF reports for its ThreatScore system, which distills scan results into a risk-weighted format across four pillars: Identity and Access Management, Attack Surface, Logging and Monitoring, and Encryption. Each pillar is analyzed based on various criteria such as pass rate, total findings, and risk level, allowing organizations to focus on the most critical threats. The ThreatScore framework uses a weighted formula to provide meaningful insights that align with an organization's specific priorities. This system allows security teams to have a prioritized work queue, compliance teams to have normalized metrics, and executives to receive a comprehensive yet concise security overview. The feature supports AWS, Azure, GCP, and M365, and is designed to provide actionable intelligence, helping organizations enhance their security posture efficiently.
