Cloud Workload Security Solutions

Visibility and Analysis for Container and Cloud Workloads

Lacework’s cloud workload security platform provides visibility to all processes and applications within an organization’s cloud workloads and container environments. The breadth and depth of workload visibility provided by Lacework helps security teams detect vulnerabilities and then utilize our machine learning analysis to identify anomalous behavior that poses threats.

Traditional security solutions rely on network logs and the firewall rules to identify potential risks, but those approaches required a manual effort, and could not keep pace with the speed of modern cloud deployment methodologies. Lacework was built specifically to deliver contextual data about cloud events; every update, configuration change, access point, and a million other activities that might represent potential threats.

We track all machine/process communications, the users associated with those processes, and the amount of data that was transferred between processes during a given time. This deep level of detail allows teams to save time on their investigations because all the relevant information is on one workload security platform.

Automated Workload Intrusion Detection

Lacework’s cloud workload protection security platform is fully automated with no rule-writing required. Using sophisticated machine learning, our workload security platform learns what constitutes normal behavior versus those that indicate potentially malicious activity. Examples of such anomalous activities are when a user launches a new unknown application, when an application connects to a suspicious endpoint, or when privileges are unexpectedly escalated. When Lacework identifies a potential threat, a contextual alert is generated with relevant data to allow users to investigate and triage the issue within your cloud workload environment.

Lacework’s Automated Cloud Workload Security Approach Provides the Following Benefits:

• No Missed Events: Lacework will always alert you on new activity so that you are given a chance to investigate any behavior within your workload environment that could potentially be malicious.
• Low Alert Noise: Lacework will only alert you on what is new or anomalous, preventing alert fatigue within your organization.
• Simple Operations & Maintenance: Automated workload detection means no writing and maintaining error-prone rules. With Lacework you will not need to constantly maintain rules, allowing you to focus on securing your environment.
