Lacework, Inc. is a private enterprise software company that provides automated cloud security for today's highly dynamic public and private cloud environments. Lacework was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in Mountain View, California.
History[edit]
The rapid adoption of cloud computing and public clouds has revolutionized IT and is forcing organizations to rethink how they approach cloud security. Clouds are highly dynamic environments that redefine which components of the infrastructure IT is responsible to deploy, maintain and also secure. For example, in public clouds, the cloud providers is responsible for deploying, maintaining and securing hardware, storage and network components. Customers are responsible for the resources they deploy in the cloud, including the data they store in the cloud.[1] Cloud environments can be made of hundreds, if not thousands, of VMs and containers generating billions of events every hour. Maintaining security policies for these environments is increasingly difficult if done manually.[2] In addition, IP addresses and ports are constantly recycled making network-centric security blind in the cloud.
Lacework was created with the goal to take a completely different approach to cloud security. Lacework brings automation, scale and speed to cloud security so that security teams can keep up with the velocity of the cloud, and DevOps teams that use automated tools to deploy applications and updates.[3]
Funding[edit]
Lacework is privately held and backed by Sutter Hill Ventures.
Technology[edit]
Lacework brings automation, speed and scale to cloud security. Polygraph(R), the technology backbone of the Lacework Cloud Security Platform, monitors all entities in the cloud - applications, processes, containers, VMs, machines, users and more. Lacework then applies proprietary machine learning algorithms to establish a behavioral baseline and detect any deviation from the baseline.[4]
Deviations indicate an anomaly and Lacework enables security team to quickly investigate the anomaly, trace it back to an error, a configuration oversight,or a threat and remediate it before any damage is done.[5]
