This guide explains the credit-based licensing model for Prisma Cloud Enterprise, Palo Alto Networks’ cloud-native application protection platform (CNAPP). It outlines two security plans—Cloud Security Foundations and Cloud Security Advanced—differentiated by included modules such as runtime protection, WAAS, and container security. Each feature or module consumes a specific number of credits per asset type (e.g., VM, container, developer). Credits are flexibly applied to any module, with usage measured hourly and averaged to avoid billing spikes. The tables list module-specific credit requirements, enabling organizations to customize coverage across multicloud, CI/CD, and code-to-cloud workflows.
