Hypergiant meets compliance frameworks, consolidates tools, and cuts down alerts with Lacework

The effort-to-pay-off ratio was fantastic. I’ve never had an easier-to-install product. In under two hours, I was done deploying it, had a multi-account CloudTrail, and had completely aggregated all of the CloudTrail for 30+ AWS accounts. How much easier can it be?
