# Evident.io (Palo Alto Networks)

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/evidentio-palo-alto-networks/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

Evident.io was a cloud security posture management (CSPM) company whose Evident Security Platform (ESP) continuously monitored AWS and other public-cloud accounts for misconfigurations and compliance drift via an agentless, API-driven control engine. Palo Alto Networks acquired Evident.io in March 2018 and folded the ESP technology into its Prisma Cloud offering; the standalone evident.io brand, website, and ESP API have since been retired. Surfaced as a portfolio company of bain-capital-ventures and tracked in the API Evangelist network as a security-sector lead.
