Prisma Cloud DSPM vs Rubrik DSPM

Check differences in scope, deployment and cost. Use the evaluation questions to resolve what the sources leave open.

Read each action with its limits. General capability and environment marks do not establish a specific workflow. Unconfirmed means support was not established in our research.

Capabilities, coverage, deployment, pricing and evaluation questions for Prisma Cloud DSPM and Rubrik DSPM
Compare	Prisma Cloud DSPMUpdated 3 Oct 2026	Rubrik DSPMUpdated 3 Oct 2026
Approach	Palo Alto Networks documents DSPM in Prisma Cloud and the newer Cortex Cloud documentation. Confirm the product edition, migration path and regional availability before using a feature list in procurement. [1] [2] [3]	Rubrik DSPM combines classification with sensitive-data access analysis and suspicious-activity monitoring. Confirm whether each finding comes from a live source or protected data in the proposed configuration. [1]

Microsoft 365	? Unconfirmed	◐ Partial OneDrive support was announced for Laminar, now Rubrik DSPM. Confirm the current workload list and licensing. [2]
AWS	◐ Partial Cortex documentation names S3 and self-managed databases. Confirm the complete AWS service list for your edition. [1]	◐ Partial Rubrik documents an AWS and Snowflake DSPM deployment. Validate individual AWS services. [3]
Google Cloud	◐ Partial Cortex documentation names Cloud SQL scanning. Confirm supported engines and other GCP stores. [1]	? Unconfirmed
Snowflake / Databricks	◐ Partial Prisma Cloud documents Snowflake scanning. Cortex release notes add Databricks, so coverage depends on product edition and release. [2] [3]	◐ Partial Snowflake is documented in a DSPM customer deployment. Databricks is unconfirmed in these sources. [3]

Test in the evaluation	Identify the exact product, edition and DSPM entitlement in the contract. Demonstrate each required connector in the region where you will deploy. Which data-security capabilities carry over when migrating from Prisma Cloud to Cortex Cloud?	Map live scanning, backup classification and their refresh intervals for every source. Which identity findings can be remediated within the product? Demonstrate an anomalous data-access event and how the evidence reaches your response team.
