    • Prepare for installing the Vulnerability Response Integration with Palo Alto Prisma Cloud by performing setup tasks.

    Before you begin

    To integrate Vulnerability Response with Palo Alto Prisma Cloud, you must be assigned a permission group in Prisma that provides read-only access to Policy and Alerts data. You can find more information on permission groups at Prisma Cloud Administrator Roles.

    For detailed information on the roles assigned to different permission groups, refer to the page Prisma Cloud Administrator Permissions.

    In addition, access keys must be created to enable reading the alerts. For more information on creating access keys, see Create and Manage Access Keys.

    To install and configure the Vulnerability Response Integration with Palo Alto Prisma Cloud, use the following checklist. Before you install the application, verify that the items listed are completed.

    Estimate the number of test results that you expect to import.

    Verify that your instance can accept the number of test results that you expect to import. An undersized instance can lead to long load times. If you don't know the size of your instance, or if you need assistance, contact ServiceNow Technical Support.

    		Verify that you have an administrator to manage the integrations and to remediate the test results:

    The admin installs the Vulnerability Response Integration with Palo Alto Prisma Cloud application. If not assigned, the admin assigns the vulnerability admin (sn_vul.vulnerability_admin) and other roles.

    You are ready to Install and configure the Vulnerability Response Integration with Palo Alto Prisma Cloud application.
