MORE IMPACT WITH LACEWORK

The cloud security platform that gives you time back

Features

Lacework Polygraph® Data Platform

Sysdig

A single platform for full build time and runtime protection

Consolidating to a single interconnected platform provides the context needed for faster decision making while reducing overall spend

Correlates build time and runtime data for full cloud visibility and protection from a single platform

To better prioritize container risk, Sysdig requires partnership with other vendors like Snyk

Cloud-native architecture

A cloud-native architecture allows for easy and limitless scaling to meet the needs of your growing (or shrinking) cloud environment

Built in the cloud, for the cloud

Sysdig is seemingly designed for on-premise, which can result in scaling inefficiencies for constantly changing cloud environments

Behavior-based threat detection, rules optional

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

Builds a baseline for cloud activity, then flags anomalies

A purely rules-based approach, with extensive tuning and customization required to operationalize1

Rapid time-to-situational awareness

Cut through the cloud noise to identify issues fast

Rules-optional anomaly detection reduces the overall amount of alerts and false positives

Amount of false positives inhibits cloud visibility and could require additional headcount for tuning

Agentless attack path analysis

Attack path analysis capabilities that speed alert triage and response

Attack path visualizations contextualize cloud breach path exposures

No agentless deployment functionality as of March 2023

Custom vulnerability scoring

Reduce vulnerability noise with a custom risk score

Gaps in visibility and does not prioritize based on unique cloud environments

Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (CIEM)

Prioritize identity risks, while detecting identity-based attacks

Lacework surfaces your riskiest cloud identities, while using anomaly detection to pinpoint identity-based threats

Sysdig lacks ML-driven anomaly detection, relying on rulesets to determine identity risk

Lightweight, stable agent

A lightweight agent that doesn’t disrupt business operations

Stable agent that supports nearly 20 different environments

An agent that doesn’t self-update and requires high CPU, which can create unnecessary disruption in cloud environment2

CUSTOMERS LOVE LACEWORK

3 reasons why customers choose Lacework over Sysdig

Required rules need not apply

Security solutions should help your teams do more with less. Rules are optional with Lacework. This means less maintenance and more impact.

Work smarter with actionable data visualizations

Lacework automatically creates rich visualizations like attack paths to help you prioritize risk in your cloud environment.

Cloud secure from day one

Deployment doesn’t have to be complicated. With flexible deployment methods, you can start seeing value from Lacework on day one.

Customers know the Lacework advantage

Avenue Bank logo

“With a lot of tools, you get thousands of alerts, but on the operational level, it doesn’t really work because you’re getting flooded with information. This is the great thing about Lacework. Lacework doesn’t get rid of the humans. It actually allows the humans to focus on the most important parts.”

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.
