Cloud data that Palo Alto Networks hold on an organisation/tenant can be exported and deleted by contacting Palo Alto Networks support. If no contact is made data will automatically be purged after 90 days post cessation of the contract(s).
End-of-contract process
At the end of the contract, if the organisation chooses not to renew and continue with the service all data pertaining to the organisation is deleted. If the organisation chooses to renew then the service continues as normal. 90-days prior to the contract expiration date an initial reminder email is sent, followed up by gradually increasing reminders until the date of expiration.

Using the command line interface
Prisma Cloud provides a number of CLI solutions that can provide security assurance on configuration files used to create cloud infrastructure, and the images that are used to create containers. These CLI tools can be used within the CICD Pipelines to prevent a malicious image or misconfigured infrastructure from entering a production environment.
Customers are provided twistCLI to scan container images and conduct image analysis sandboxing. In addiotn to this, customer can utilise Checkov by BridgeCrew as a CLI tool to scan for IaC misconfigurations, Secret exposure and SCA. Both CLI tools require an API key from the Prisma Cloud console to function. The twistcli tool is delivered with every Prisma Cloud release. It is statically compiled, so it does not have any external dependencies, and it can run on any Linux host. Customers can use these CLI tools as an additional method to assist in scanning, for example adding guardrails in a CICD Pipeline etc. These tools do not allow customers to change global setting for the Prisma Cloud Console - for this use case, customers should consider utilising the Prisma Cloud API.

Availability and resilience

Guaranteed availability
Prisma™ Cloud services shall be available 99.9% of the time, measured monthly excluding scheduled maintenance.

If Customer requests maintenance during these hours, any uptime or downtime calculation will exclude periods affected by such maintenance.
Further, any downtime resulting from outages of third-party connections or utilities or other reasons beyond the control of Palo Alto Networks will also be excluded from any such calculation.

Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of
Palo Alto Networks, in connection with Prisma Cloud service availability, shall be to credit Customer 2% of monthly service fees (downtime credit) for each period of 60 consecutive minutes of downtime, provided that no more than one such credit will accrue
per day. Downtime shall begin to accrue as soon as Customer notifies Palo Alto Networks that downtime is taking place and will continue to accrue until service is restored.

In order to receive downtime credit, the customer must notify Palo Alto Networks in writing within 24 hours from the time of downtime. Failure to provide such notice will forfeit the right to receive downtime credit.
Approach to resilience
Palo Alto Networks delivers the Prisma Cloud service utilising public cloud providers Amazon Web Services and Google Compute Platform. Within each of these providers the use of “availability zones” (AZ) to ensure geo and service redundancy and resiliency within a region (e.g. United Kingdom) and at a regional level with traffic being able to be steered to another region/availability zone/location should an incident occur.
Outage reporting
