LACEWORK VS. AQUA SECURITY

Don’t sacrifice speed
for security

Lacework can painlessly operationalize security. Aqua’s complex deployment and maintenance can bring innovation to a screeching halt.

SECURE AND EFFICIENT

High impact cloud security from day one

Features

Lacework Polygraph Data Platform

Aqua Security

A single platform (CNAPP) to promote operational efficiencies

A natively integrated cloud platform that promotes rapid investigations


Aqua uses a complex deployment and maintenance model for on-premise and SaaS, decreasing operational efficiency.*

Behavior-based threat detection without painful rules

Identify suspicious behavior in your cloud, without the manual effort of writing rules

Aqua’s machine learning is dependent upon rule writing for known attack sequences, which misses unknown threats.

Attack path analysis functionality to speed alert triage and response

Agentless deployment functionality contextualizes cloud breach path exposures

Aqua offers partial attack path analysis, with no concept of “crown jewels” to help prioritize security issues.

Custom vulnerability scoring

Reduce vulnerability noise with a custom risk score to focus on the vulnerabilities that matter most

Aqua doesn’t have visibility into active packages and can’t prioritize vulnerabilities based on custom cloud environments.

Cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM)

Find and prioritize identity risks and quickly pinpoint identity-based attacks

Lacework prioritizes identity risks and uses anomaly detection to find and analyze behavioral threats.

Aqua doesn’t offer CIEM capabilities.*

A lightweight agent that doesn’t disrupt business operations

Aqua offers limited agent management capabilities. Aqua customers cite agent complexities and a lack of automated updating / configuration.

CUSTOMERS LOVE LACEWORK

3 reasons why customers choose Lacework over Aqua

The Lacework platform is easy to operationalize.

From simple pricing to seamless deployment, Lacework customers see value fast. Aqua’s complex licensing and maintenance model makes it harder to achieve operational efficiency.

Lacework turns security into an innovation enabler.

Lacework helps security keep pace with development through shift-left capabilities and context-rich alerts. With Aqua, slow platform deployment and time-consuming investigations can delay the shipment of new products.

Lacework paves the way for high impact work.

Lacework ensures that any time spent fixing vulnerabilities is time well spent. With active vulnerability detection, Lacework determines which vulnerable components are actively running and considers this factor (among others) when prioritizing risk.

"Within half an hour, we were up and running with production, we had data coming in, we were starting to see results. The whole onboarding is just so simple, and it streamlines the whole process."

"Within a very short time of having Lacework integrated into our cloud environments, we were able to go from a couple hundred alerts a day down to just a handful, I’m talking less than five… and these alerts were actionable right out of the gate."

Make everything you build cloud secure

Stop costly mistakes at the source

Stop costly mistakes at the source

Fix vulnerabilities and misconfigurations before they hit production. Add security checks early in development, including infrastructure as code (IaC) scanning. Empower developers to scan locally, in registries, and CI/CD while building, at scale.

Infrastructure as Code Security Vulnerability Management

Fewer tools. Faster outcomes. Better security.
