AGENTLESS AND AGENT-BASED

Secure from code to cloud with one vendor


Features

Lacework Polygraph® Data Platform

Orca Security

A single platform (CNAPP) to promote operational efficiencies

Secure your cloud through the entire application development life cycle

Full visibility from build time through runtime

Unable to provide full visibility at runtime

Cloud workload protection platform (CWPP)

Continuously protect workloads with runtime threat detection

Continuously monitor for known and unknown threats in workloads and reduce vulnerability noise by up to 90%

Detection delivered via another company’s agent, still early beta. Lacks native integration*

Agentless workload scanning secure and private by default

Safely find and prioritize vulnerabilities within your unique environment

Platform built to ensure data is secure and private by default. Your data remains in your cloud

By default, requires permission to snapshot and copy your data into their cloud account for scanning

Mature, optimized agent

Identify suspicious behavior without the manual effort of writing rules

Time-proven agent supports nearly all Linux distributions and Windows Server OS

Detection delivered via another company’s agent, still early beta. Only supports Linux*

Audit log analysis without requiring manual rules

Monitor user and resource activity through cloud audit log anomaly detection

Analyzes and correlates audit logs to undercover issues without manual rules

Relies on rules-based heuristics to monitor for threats

Behavior-based threat detection

Find suspicious behaviors in your clouds including zero-day threats

Monitors workloads and pinpoints deviations from your unique baseline in near real-time

Custom vulnerability scoring

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

Solution has visibility gaps and can’t prioritize based on active package detection

Cloud security posture management (CSPM)

Catalog cloud assets and find misconfigurations and compliance risks

Cloud infrastructure entitlement management (CIEM)

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

Infrastructure as code (IaC) security

Find and address risks at the earliest stage possible

3 reasons why customers choose Lacework over Orca

Lacework does the heavy lifting for you

Through years of hard work, Lacework has developed an industry-leading security agent, tailor made for the cloud. Our agent is stable and lightweight and can deploy at massive scale, with nearly as little friction as agentless alternatives.

Lacework does agentless too

Orca’s main boast is their agentless approach to cloud security, which lacks continuous runtime monitoring. With Lacework, you get both. Gain fast visibility into your cloud environment without agents, then enrich this data with agent-based runtime insights. No bolt-on solution required.

With Lacework, every minute counts

Lacework ensures that any time spent fixing vulnerabilities is time well spent. For example, unlike Orca, Lacework’s active package detection can prioritize your risks by seeing which vulnerable components are actively running in workloads. Agentless and agents working seamlessly together, in one platform.

Customers know the Lacework advantage

“With Lacework Polygraph, we can actually see from end-to-end and be very sure whether a breach has gained access to confidential data. The forensic capabilities that we are able to leverage from the Polygraph are above anything else we’ve used before.”

Mario Duarte

Director of Security

Avenue Bank logo

“Lacework allowed my team to be aware of what’s going on in the security sense, without having to be experts in security. We could monitor anomalies and view vulnerabilities in a central place, whether on a container or host.”

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.
