About Prowler
Prowler is evolving from passive cloud scanner to AI-assisted remediation platform, with Lighthouse AI now delivering per-finding fix guidance.
Prowler ships open-source releases every one to two weeks, maintaining strong cadence across AWS, Azure, and GCP coverage. The commercial Cloud tier has become the innovation frontier — Lighthouse AI features arrive there first while the OSS core gets protocol and compliance work such as ISO partition support and configurable network timeouts. Weekly releases and a growing AI layer mark a product in active expansion.
