Vendor Profile

Lacework

Lacework is a data-driven cloud security platform that uses Polygraph behavioral analytics to automatically detect anomalies and threats across cloud workloads, containers, and cloud accounts. Rather than relying solely on rule-based detection, Lacework builds a baseline of normal behavior for every cloud entity and alerts on deviations, significantly reducing alert fatigue. The platform covers CSPM, workload protection, container security, and compliance monitoring with a focus on automated threat detection.
