Gartner predicts that global spending on public cloud services will increase by 20% from 2022 to 2023, accelerating cloud adoption. The recent analysis has outperformed the initial cloud growth predictions of 18%, demonstrating the robust demand for public cloud services despite a global economic recession. The cloud offers immense benefits. However, there is no dearth of security challenges as well. The threats to cloud security have always been significant in recent years. The nature of threats differs from what it used to be a while ago.

The reasons that pave the way for a surge in cloud breaches also vary. Most cloud security breaches are caused by misconfigurations when the cloud managers mistakenly expose cloud infrastructure and interface online. Lack of expertise and visibility into the cloud are other reasons. Therefore, it is evident that for a cloud security strategy to be relevant today, it has to be beyond conventional approaches. It is not scalable to discover cloud risk using manual techniques. Prioritization is almost impossible due to a lack of context and poor visibility between teams. Lacework is a leading name among the providers of contemporary cloud security. Fundamentally, Lacework focuses on enabling a deeper understanding of clouds and their flaws using the data-driven CNAPP.

Clients of Lacework have been successfully able to fix security issues faster through a single unified platform. Lacework is a data-driven cloud security platform. By automating cloud security at scale, the Lacework Polygraph® Data Platform enables its customers to develop quickly and securely. Only Lacework is capable of gathering, analyzing, and precisely correlating data across an organization’s AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes environments and condensing it to just a few crucial security events.

Customers from across the globe rely on Lacework to increase sales, promote goods more quickly and safely, and combine point security solutions into a single platform. Three words that best define Lacework will be Faster outcomes, Fewer tools, and Better security. Statics regarding this is proof enough. Around 81% see value within seven days, around 2 to 5 average tools are replaced, and 100:1 is the ratio of reduction in alerts. The enterprise extends the facility to Investigate and address problems more quickly using a single platform. Clients can leverage better security and give more freedom to explore, work together, and take action quickly. A unified, actionable source of cloud security truth can help dissolve silos.

In other words, Lacework is all about defined priorities, superior context, and more rapid resolution. “Lacework was founded on a core belief: better security starts with data. We built a revolutionary behavior-based machine learning engine, supported by over 100 patents with data at its core. It is designed to deliver on our vision for better, more secure clouds. We continuously collect data throughout the entire application lifecycle. We capture data for configurations, permissions, vulnerabilities, attack paths, secrets, runtime activity, and more. We connect the dots to uncover your environment’s riskiest vulnerabilities and misconfigurations,” informs Jay Parikh, CEO.

POLYGRAPH DATA PLATFORM

The platform extends data-driven protection from code to the cloud. “The platform is secure from build through runtime with one connected platform. Our CNAPP correlates data from across your cloud to keep your environment safe,” adds Parikh. The other solutions extended by the firm include vulnerability management, prioritizing tasks, cloud compliance, and container security.
