These dependencies will be notified in the *Intelligence Stream Updates* section of the Prisma Cloud Release Notes. +Prisma Cloud introduces versioning for the Intelligence Stream (IS) to ensure compatibility across different Console and Defender versions. + +The purpose of Intelligence Stream (IS) versioning is to: + +* *Maintain functionality for older Consoles and Defenders*: IS versioning ensures that older Consoles and Defenders continue to operate properly, even if they are unable to support the latest intelligence feeds, such as changes in external data feed formats. + +* *Reduce disruptions*: Versioning helps minimize disruptions caused by updates, such as changes in downloaded JSON file fields that could impact CVE accuracy or result in duplicate CVEs. + +Intelligence Stream (IS) versions will be aligned with specific Console versions. For example, older 31.xx and 32.xx Consoles will be supported by the IS version released for Console 33.00. + +To ensure consistency in vulnerability reporting across all Intelligence Stream (IS) versions, the following approach is implemented: + +* *New Intelligence Stream (IS) logic updates*: These updates will only apply to the latest IS versions. When customers upgrade to the latest Console version, they will receive the most recent IS logic updates. + +* *Vulnerability data*: All IS versions will continue to provide up-to-date vulnerability information, and changes in IS logic or algorithms will not affect the vulnerability metrics and reporting in the Console. + +*Note*: Updates related to the Intelligence Stream will be notified in the *Intelligence Stream Updates* section of the Prisma Cloud Release Notes. diff --git a/docs/en/enterprise-edition/content-collections/runtime-security/runtime-security-components/intelligence-stream.adoc b/docs/en/enterprise-edition/content-collections/runtime-security/runtime-security-components/intelligence-stream.adoc index 850b74bde2..418194ad1e 100644 --- a/docs/en/enterprise-edition/content-collections/runtime-security/runtime-security-components/intelligence-stream.adoc +++ b/docs/en/enterprise-edition/content-collections/runtime-security/runtime-security-components/intelligence-stream.adoc @@ -5,9 +5,4 @@ The Prisma Cloud Intelligence Stream is a real-time feed that contains vulnerabi In addition to the information collected from official feeds, Prisma Cloud feeds are enriched with vulnerability data curated by a dedicated research team.
