Create and edit custom risks rules

This article describes how to do the following:

• Create custom risk rules from any search in the inventory and save them.
• Edit the severity of risk rules and disable out-of-the-box (OOB) risk rules as needed.
• Manage and distinguish between custom and system-generated risk rules.

Create a custom risk rule

There are two options to create a custom risk:

Option 1

In the Prisma Cloud DSPM side menu, click Inventory to open the Inventory window, and then proceed to step 4 below.

Option 2

1. In the Prisma Cloud DSPM side menu, click Risks. The Risks Overview tab opens by default.
   
   
2. In the Custom Risk thumbnail click Create.
3. In the pop-up, click Go to Inventory to open the Inventory window.
4. In the custom risk rules field, specify the rules for the custom risk. For example, create a custom risk to view developer secrets that are open to the world.
   
   
5. Click Create Custom Risk. 
   
   
6. In the New Custom Risk drawer, do the following:
   1. Give a meaningful name to the risk.
   2. Enter a description for the risk.
   3. Specify the severity of the risk.
   4. Specify if the risk affects security and/or compliance.
   5. Click Create to create the custom risk. Note that it takes approximately 15-minutes for Prisma Cloud DSPM to identify the risk findings associated with the new custom risk.
      
      
7. After creating a custom risk, its thumbnail appears in the Risks Overview tab.
   • A custom risk thumbnail is denoted by the word Custom to distinguish it from out-of-the-box risks.
     
   • The number on the thumbnail indicates the number of risk findings associated with the custom risk rules.
