help Twistlock FAQ

What happened to the Twistlock product name?

Palo Alto Networks completed its acquisition of Twistlock in July 2019. Its container-security technology was subsequently incorporated into Prisma Cloud, particularly the workload-protection and Compute capabilities.

Could Twistlock scan container images before deployment?

Yes, Twistlock combined image vulnerability management and compliance checks with runtime defenses. That allowed teams to enforce policies during development and CI/CD as well as after containers reached production.

How did Twistlock protect running Kubernetes workloads?

It deployed Defender components to monitor hosts, containers, and Kubernetes activity against centrally managed policies. Runtime controls could detect suspicious processes, network behavior, and deviations from an expected workload model.

Which products competed with Twistlock in container security?

Comparable cloud-native security products have included Aqua Security, Sysdig Secure, and NeuVector. NeuVector later became part of SUSE, while Twistlock became part of Palo Alto Networks' Prisma Cloud platform.
