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.
