What is Lacework?

Lacework is a data-driven cloud security platform that uses Polygraph behavioral analytics to automatically detect anomalies and threats across cloud workloads, containers, and cloud accounts. Rather than relying solely on rule-based detection, Lacework builds a baseline of normal behavior for every cloud entity and alerts on deviations, significantly reducing alert fatigue. The platform covers CSPM, workload protection, container security, and compliance monitoring with a focus on automated threat detection.

Best for: Organizations that want behavioral analytics-driven threat detection to reduce alert fatigue and automate cloud security monitoring

Pros

  • Polygraph behavioral analytics reduces alert fatigue significantly
  • Automated baseline learning requires minimal manual tuning
  • Strong anomaly detection catches novel threats that rules miss
  • Good container and Kubernetes security coverage
  • Effective compliance reporting for frameworks like SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA

Things to check

  • Behavioral model requires warm-up period to establish accurate baselines
  • Smaller company with less ecosystem momentum than Wiz
  • Agent required for some workload protection features
  • Less intuitive UI compared to Wiz's Security Graph visualization
  • Feature breadth narrower than comprehensive CNAPP platforms
