About:
Prowler is an open-source tool designed for comprehensive cloud security auditing, compliance, and incident response. It performs hundreds of checks across AWS, Azure, and GCP to identify misconfigurations and vulnerabilities. The tool helps organizations adhere to best practices and frameworks like CIS, NIST, and PCI-DSS.
Key Features:
  • Multi-cloud support for AWS, Azure, and GCP
  • Comprehensive compliance reporting (CIS, PCI-DSS, etc.)
  • Real-time monitoring and incident response capabilities
  • Extensible architecture for custom checks and integrations
Use Cases:
  • Continuous cloud security posture management (CSPM)
  • Compliance auditing and evidence generation
  • Incident response and forensic analysis
  • DevSecOps pipeline integration
Alternatives:
  • ScoutSuite – ScoutSuite is another multi-cloud auditing tool, but Prowler offers more frequent updates and broader compliance framework support.
  • CloudSploit – CloudSploit focuses primarily on AWS, whereas Prowler provides more extensive multi-cloud capabilities.
