It includes hundreds of built-in controls aligned with industry standards (CIS, NIST 800, NIST CSF, CISA, MITRE ATT&CK) and regulatory frameworks (PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, FedRAMP, SOC2, ISO 27001). The tool provides CLI, API, and web UI interfaces for running assessments, viewing results, and generating compliance reports.\n\nIt's designed for organizations needing continuous security monitoring and compliance validation across multiple cloud accounts and providers. Prowler can be deployed as a standalone CLI tool, a self-hosted web application (Prowler Local Server), or used via the managed Prowler Cloud service. For AWS, it includes Attack Paths functionality that combines inventory data with security findings to visualize attack chains using Neo4j or Amazon Neptune graph databases.","worth_installing":"Yes. Prowler is actively maintained, widely used, carries no known vulnerabilities, and offers permissive licensing. It's the right choice if you need multi-cloud security assessment with compliance framework support. Install friction is low. The main consideration is whether you need all 93 dependencies or can work with a subset; verify your provider's SDK requirements before deploying at scale."},"id":"prowler","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/prowler","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/prowler.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/prowler/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-06","license_spdx":"Apache-2.0","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"prowler","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Prowler is an Open Source security tool to perform AWS, GCP and Azure security best practices assessments, audits, incident response, continuous monitoring, hardening and forensics readiness.
