TRUSTED BY 900+ GLOBAL INNOVATORS
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 SnykCloud-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 environmentsBehavior-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 operationalize1Rapid 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 tuningAgentless 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 2023Lightweight, 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

3 reasons why customers choose
Lacework over Sysdig
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
“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.”

“With Lacework, we have the assurance that an organization’s security posture is continuously being looked at. To do the same thing with other technologies, it takes at least five different tools, which gets expensive and arduous to manage.”
Charlie Gautreaux
Managing Director, Defiance Digital
“Within 48 hours, we had all of our accounts working, and most of the assets as well. It was fantastic — very fast and very intuitive.”

Cloud 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.
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.
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.
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.
Fewer tools. Faster outcomes. Better security.
