Explanation

In Prisma Cloud Compute, these behaviors - backdoor account access, hijacked processes, lateral movement, and port scanning - are classified as Incidents. Incidents represent correlated, high-severity runtime security events detected by Defender that indicate active compromise or malicious activity. They are distinct from Audits (which are lower-level, individual runtime events) and from Models (which represent learned behavioral baselines). Admission controllers are Kubernetes enforcement mechanisms, not a classification category for security events.
