Prisma Cloud Compute must run within a defined/separate namespace (e.g., Twistlock).

Discussion

Namespaces are a key boundary for network policies, orchestrator access control restrictions, and other important security controls. Prisma Cloud Compute containers running within a separate and exclusive namespace will inherit the namespace's security features. Separating workloads into namespaces can help contain attacks and limit the impact of mistakes or destructive actions by authorized users.

Check

Inspect the Kubernetes namespace in which Prisma Cloud Compute is deployed:

$ kubectl get pods -n twistlock NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE twistlock-console-855744b66b-xs9cm 1/1 Running 0 4d6h twistlock-defender-ds-99zj7 1/1 Running 0 58d twistlock-defender-ds-drsh8 1/1 Running 0 58d

Inspect the list of pods.

If a non-Prisma Cloud Compute (does not start with "twistlock") pod is running in the same namespace, this is a finding.

Fix

Deploy the Prisma Cloud Compute Console and Defender containers within a distinct namespace.
