Prowler 4.0.0 – The Trooper

You’ll take my life, but I’ll take yours too
You’ll fire your musket, but I’ll run you through
So when you’re waiting for the next attack
You’d better stand, there’s no turning back

When I started Prowler almost eight years ago, I thought about calling it The Trooper (thetrooper as in the command line sounds good but I thought prowler was even better). I can say today, with no doubt that this version 4.0 of Prowler, The Trooper, is by far the software that I always wanted to release. Now, as a company, with a whole team dedicated to Prowler (Open Source and SaaS), this is even more exciting. With standard support for AWS, Azure, GCP and also Kubernetes, with all new features, this is the beginning of a new era where Open Cloud Security makes an step forward and we say: hey WE ARE HERE FOR REAL and when you’re waiting for the next attack, you’d better stand, there’s no turning back

Enjoy Prowler – The Trooooooooper! 🤘🏽🔥 song!
