Our take

Lacework is a cloud security startup that simplifies cloud security, reduces incident noise, and cuts down on the number of interfaces that businesses need to use. It helps businesses reduce their expenses and the time spent manually tracking issues.

Lacework offers a full package of cloud security services for its customers, covering security for infrastructure as code, scanning for vulnerabilities in build-time and run time, runtime security for cloud-native environments, and configuration and compliance.

The company faces competition from businesses like Threat Stack, Prisma Cloud, and Aqua Platform. However, as more companies move online and the need for secure cloud-native services continues to grow, Lacework has ample opportunity to see continued growth as the leading CNAPP solution.

Company values

  • Customers First - Customers are our reason for being. Our plans, actions, and culture put them at the heart of all we do. Because we know that when they win, we win

  • Be Open - Openness is woven into our DNA. We’re at our best when we embrace it in ourselves to grow, to give feedback, to coach others, and help one another shine our brightest. Even in tough conversations, we approach them with respectful candor
  • Be Bold and Learn Fast - To go beyond what’s been done before, we push ourselves to make bold, courageous decisions. We don’t fear failure. We fear failure without the learnings that come with it to make us better, both personally and professionally
  • Get Shit Done - We face challenges head on. But we’re realists and know that shit happens. We take it as a challenge to finish what we start, go bigger, and own it
  • Win as a Team - Win for the customer and partner. Win for the company. Win for yourself. When we make it about “we” instead of “me” there’s exponential possibility
