WATCH DEMOApplication Visibility, Threat Detection, and Forensics: All the Security Your Kubernetes Needs
As the use of containers continues to rise in popularity within test and production environments, managing and orchestrating them becomes a bigger challenge. Despite that fact, Kubernetes (K8s) is a market leader in orchestrating cloud-native environments, it’s not as good at security as it is at orchestration.
Lacework’s Kubernetes security solution provides comprehensive threat detection for dashboards, pods, management nodes, and clusters, in addition to end-to-end security for their public cloud infrastructure workloads, accounts, and containers. Our Kubernetes security platform identifies the risks and threats for Kubernetes-deployed infrastructures, including publicly exposed and unsecured API servers and management consoles.
Lacework + Kubernetes Equals Security
The rapid adoption of Kubernetes for application and infrastructure orchestration is leading to an increase in the risk associated with data exposure and vulnerabilities throughout the application lifecycle. Without proper detection of threats, organizations could be opening the doors to unauthorized access to Kubernetes clusters, applications, and customer data.
Lacework provides deep visibility into your Kubernetes deployment. This includes high-level dashboards of your clusters, pods, nodes and namespaces combined with application-level communication between all of these at the application, process and network layer.
- Backed by the power of Lacework’s Polygraph technology, this security solution for Kubernetes includes detection of both risks and threats that may be specifically designed to breach a vulnerability within Kubernetes, a possible misconfiguration or a threat that can affect your infrastructure by installing malicious code onto one of your containers.
- The Lacework Polygraph is designed to detect both known and unknown threats that affect Kubernetes environments using behavioral analysis and machine learning.
- Lacework’s Kubernetes security solution creates hourly Polygraphs that can demonstrate any change of relationships or events over time. This is a critical tool for understanding and triaging security incidents.
Whether you are triaging an alert or digging into deep details around the cause and effect of a change, Lacework’s security platform for Kubernetes has all the information. Our SaaS service allows you to go back in time and look at all related events across your Kubernetes infrastructure that may have caused a breach or exposed you to an unknown risk.
Detailed information about your containers, applications, and infrastructure are all available. They include information related to Kubernetes such as pods, nodes, labels, namespaces, and all network information. And all this information is available both within the UI and from our API.

Threat Detection for Kubernetes
Backed by the power of Lacework’s Polygraph technology, this security solution for Kubernetes includes detection of both risks and threats that may be specifically designed to breach a vulnerability within Kubernetes, a possible miss-configuration, or a threat that can affect your infrastructure by installing malicious code onto one of your containers. The Lacework Polygraph is designed to detect both known and unknown threats that affect Kubernetes environments through the detection of IOC’s and Lacework’s behavioral analysis and machine learning classification.
Risks and threats are visible within the Lacework dashboard, are ranked by risk severity, and can be delivered through the most common modern methods such as a Slack channel or a Jira ticket.
Forensics for Kubernetes

What Our Customers Say
- “[We] got rid of a lot of tools and the need to log into multiple interfaces…forget that mess!!! Hundreds of false positives before are now down to one and two things we need to pay attention to because of Lacework. Tracking down alerts was taking 50 percent of the Engineering / DevOps team’s time to triage and [make] changes. Now they get one to two per day, log on in the morning, check the few alerts and go about their day.”
Lacework Customer
- “A second set of eyes when it comes to security. With the growth of instances and containers, it is difficult to monitor and review every log or activity. By using Lacework, we’ve been able to use the Lacework AI to net down patterns, violations, and compliance activity all in a single dashboard saving time and resources. More importantly, historical charts and reports are extremely helpful for audits to demonstrate alerting, notification and review.”
Lacework Customer - “Lacework Polygraph, within minutes of the attack occurring, was able to detect something that the other ones were not. It outperformed everything we’ve been doing.”
Mario Duarte
Snowflake Computing - “I’m extremely happy with Lacework. I sleep better at night knowing we have full visibility into our cloud operations. It was the one tool that checked all my security boxes.”
Devin Ertel
Guidebook - “Lacework offers us speed and offers us the ability to focus on what we do in terms of building a great product that’s secure. I would definitely recommend it to other IT professionals or product companies that are building a cloud-based application.”
