| Secure the software supply chain from development to deployment                     | With new Trusted Images policies and extended Registry Scanning for platforms like GitLab and Harbor, teams can detect vulnerabilities and secrets early. Our enhanced Agentless Disk Scan (ADS) also provides deeper visibility into all locally attached volumes, improving compliance reporting.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| Expanded cloud runtime security with new support for self-hosted OpenShift clusters | Expanded cloud runtime security to the entire hybrid environment with new support for self-hosted OpenShift clusters. This extended visibility helps teams secure workloads running on-premise, close security blind spots, and ensure consistent controls across both public cloud and private infrastructure.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             |
| Enhanced API Security Investigation                                                 | Cortex Cloud now provides complete context into API threats, including attack activity, severity, and associated assets. This new feature empowers teams to rapidly assess risk and accelerate incident response, ensuring better protection for their critical APIs.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       |

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-cloud-runtime-security-rn/cortex-cloud-runtime-security-release-information/features-introduced-in-2025-cloud/november-2025/release-highlights.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
