# Description

**Prowler** is an Open Source security tool to perform AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Kubernetes security best practices assessments, audits, incident response, continuous monitoring, hardening and forensics readiness, and also remediations! We have Prowler CLI (Command Line Interface) that we call Prowler Open Source and a service on top of it that we call <a href="https://prowler.com">Prowler SaaS</a>.

## Prowler CLI

```console
prowler <provider>
```
![Prowler CLI Execution](docs/img/short-display.png)

## Prowler Dashboard

```console
prowler dashboard
```
![Prowler Dashboard](docs/img/dashboard.png)

It contains hundreds of controls covering CIS, NIST 800, NIST CSF, CISA, RBI, FedRAMP, PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, FFIEC, SOC2, GXP, AWS Well-Architected Framework Security Pillar, AWS Foundational Technical Review (FTR), ENS (Spanish National Security Scheme) and your custom security frameworks.

???+ note
  If you want to clone Prowler from Windows, use `git config core.longpaths true` to allow long file paths.

# Deprecations from v3

## General
- `Allowlist` now is called `Mutelist`.
- The `--quiet` option has been deprecated, now use the `--status` flag to select the finding's status you want to get from PASS, FAIL or MANUAL.
- All `INFO` finding's status has changed to `MANUAL`.
- The CSV output format is common for all the providers.

We have deprecated some of our outputs formats:
- The native JSON is replaced for the JSON [OCSF](https://schema.ocsf.io/) v1.1.0, common for all the providers.

## AWS
- Deprecate the AWS flag --sts-endpoint-region since we use AWS STS regional tokens.
- To send only FAILS to AWS Security Hub, now use either `--send-sh-only-fails` or `--security-hub --status FAIL`.
