Prowler is an Open Source security tool to perform AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and Kubernetes security best practices assessments, audits, incident response, continuous monitoring, hardening and forensics readiness, and also remediations! We have Prowler CLI (Command Line Interface) that we call Prowler Open Source and a service on top of it that we call Prowler SaaS.

• Allowlist now is called Mutelist.
• The --quiet option has been deprecated, now use the --status flag to select the finding's status you want to get from PASS, FAIL or MANUAL.
• All INFO finding's status has changed to MANUAL.
• The CSV output format is common for all the providers.

We have deprecated some of our outputs formats:

• The native JSON is replaced for the JSON OCSF v1.1.0, common for all the providers.

• Deprecate the AWS flag --sts-endpoint-region since we use AWS STS regional tokens.
• To send only FAILS to AWS Security Hub, now use either --send-sh-only-fails or --security-hub --status FAIL.
