New features to highlight in this version

🚀 Performance Improvements

• Optimized /findings/metadata and resource-related filters for significantly faster querying and filtering of findings
• Enhanced /overviews endpoints for better response times and scalability in large environments
• Added new high-performance endpoints to fetch the latest findings and metadata quickly

These updates collectively reduce latency, improve data freshness, and scale better across high-volume environments.

👨‍💻 GitHub Provider (CLI Only)

We’ve added GitHub as a new cloud provider in the Prowler CLI. Including:

• 11 security checks tailored for GitHub, see all with prowler github --list-checks or in Prowler Hub at https://hub.prowler.com/
• Based on CIS GitHub Benchmark v1.0.0

📘 Prowler ThreatScore for Microsoft 365

We’ve extended Prowler ThreatScore to support Microsoft 365 environments:

• Assigns a contextual risk score to your M365 tenant based on detected misconfigurations and best practices
• Helps prioritize remediation efforts with actionable insights
• Enhances visibility into your Microsoft 365 security posture

📘 CIS M365 Benchmark v4.0.0

You can now assess your M365 environment against the CIS v4.0 framework. This brings M365 in line with our existing CIS support for AWS, GCP, Kubernetes and Azure, expanding your ability to meet compliance requirements across cloud platforms.

📘 CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark v5.0.0

Prowler now includes full coverage for the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark version 5.0.0, aligning with the latest security best practices from the Center for Internet Security.

Provider UID Filter Enhanced

We’ve significantly enhanced the Provider UID filter in the App to make multi-cloud analysis faster and more intuitive:

• 🌐 Provider icons (AWS, GCP) for instant visual identification
• 🏷️ Including the Cloud Provider alias

☁️ AWS CloudFormation Quick Link for IAM Role Setup

We’ve streamlined the setup process for AWS IAM Role credentials with a new CloudFormation Quick Link:

• Launch the required IAM Role stack in one click
• Pre-filled with the necessary permissions and trust policies
• Available directly in the IAM Role credentials step for faster onboarding

This update helps you get started with Prowler in AWS faster and with fewer manual steps.
