PANW Cloud Security Professional — Palo Alto Networks Certified Cloud Security Professional

Palo Alto Networks' cloud security certification covering Prisma Cloud — their CNAPP (Cloud Native Application Protection Platform) covering CSPM, CWPP, and code security. Part of the new role-based framework replacing the retired PCCSE cert. In-person only exam since March 2025, 2-year validity. Not DoD 8140 approved. Relevant in organizations using Prisma Cloud for cloud security posture management and workload protection. As CNAPP adoption grows this cert becomes more relevant, but Prisma Cloud's market position relative to alternatives (Wiz, Lacework, Orca) affects the cert's long-term relevance.
