Access to Prisma Cloud Compute must be managed based on user need and least privileged using external identity providers for authentication and grouping to role-based assignments when possible.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Integration with an organization's existing identity management policies technologies reduces the threat of account compromise and misuse. Centralized authentication services provide additional functionality to fulfill security requirements: - Multifactor authentication. - Disabling users after a period of time. - Encrypted storage and transmission of secure information. - Secure authentication protocols such as LDAP over TLS or LDAPS using FIPS 140-2 approved encryption modules. - PKI-based authentication.

A Manual Procedure
Configure Prisma Cloud Console for SAML-based authentication in which the SAML IdP enforces multifactor authentication (e.g., x509/smartcard authentication).
Navigate to Prisma Cloud Compute Console's Manage >> Authentication >> Identity Providers:
- Click "Add provider".
- For Protocol, select "SAML".
- For Identity provider, select provider.
