What will happen when a Prisma Cloud Administrator has configured agentless scanning in an environment that also has Host and Container Defenders…

In a Prisma Cloud environment where both agentless scanning and Defender-based scans (Host and

Container Defenders) are configured, there is no inherent conflict between these two scanning

methods. Both agentless scans and Defender scans are designed to complement each other,

providing comprehensive coverage and depth in the security analysis of the environment. Agentless

scans offer a broad, less intrusive overview, while Defender scans provide deep, detailed insights into

the security posture. Therefore, both types of scans will run concurrently, enhancing the overall

security visibility and protection of the environment without disabling or interfering with each

other's operations.

The agentless scanning architecture lets you inspect a host and the container images in that host

without having to install an agent or affecting its execution.
