More automation, more efficiency.
Prisma teams struggle to operationalize due to increased alert volume, a rules-based approach, and navigation complexities. Organizations need a solution that’s not going to slow them down.
Lacework vs. Prisma Cloud
Don’t settle for a siloed security solution
Palo Alto Networks offers loosely integrated point solutions in a “platform” wrapper.1 Lacework provides integrated security from code to cloud.

“With Prisma, the deployment literally never ends with all the rule writing — and that’s also assuming you write the right rules and the rules you need. Lacework is just such a better beast!”
Director of DevOps, Blockchain technology company
“I love how easy your agent is to deploy. In case you didn’t know, your competition, Palo Alto, isn’t nearly that easy.”
Staff Cloud Engineer, Large Technology Company
“Right out of the gate with Lacework, we saw performance and value that we haven’t seen before from any other platform.”

Recognized Leader in Cloud and Workload Security
Make everything you build cloud secure
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.
Know your cloud and its weak spots
Deploy agentlessly to understand cloud risks in minutes. Get instant visibility into what’s deployed, how it’s configured, and pinpoint vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. We scan everything – workloads, container images, hosts, and language libraries – so no secret can hide.
Prioritize your most exploitable risks
Tie together risk factors — vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, network reachability, secrets, and more — to see how attackers can compromise your cloud. Automatically connect with insights into what’s happening in runtime to prioritize critical risks, investigate faster, and even see suggestions for remediation.
Uncover cloud account compromise
Our patented Polygraph® technology continuously learns your normal to root out suspicious and unusual behavior. Data-driven monitoring reveals compromise and the resulting blast radius. Rich context helps you quickly understand what happened, how, and where to fix it. Our patented approach not only automates threat detection, but can also significantly reduce your SIEM ingest costs too.
Find threats known and unknown
Continuously protect critical applications and environments with our workload and container security agent. Find new risks lurking in production and understand changes in behavior. Our data-driven approach connects the dots to detect known and unknown threats – even zero day attacks. And do it all automatically without endless rule writing and deep security expertise required.
