Lacework vs. Snyk vs. Wiz

Lacework is well suited for behavioral analysis. One thing to consider thought is in the early stages there will be quite a bit of noise generated by Lacework. There will be a higher volume alerts generated initially - until a good baseline is generated. Overall Lacework is good with alert handling - integration with Slack is good.

Wiz is well-suited if you want to run real-time scans against resources that were recently patched or configured. It is good to keep track of vulnerabilities found and what can be done to resolve the issues without having to open up multiple tabs. Overall, it is good to keep an eye on how well cloud teams or cloud security teams are doing.

• Easy to set-up the agent in cloud workloads.
• Easy integration with ticketing and messaging tools.
• Detailed visibility of all our container workloads across multiple accounts.

• Helps in dependency management
• SAST - Static Application Security Testing
• Infra Code Scan ( Terraform , Cloud Formation , Docker image scan)
• OSSG

Incentivized

• Multi-cloud: Ability of Wiz to integrate with all of our cloud platforms makes it easy to deploy and centralizes our insights into all environments
• UI/UX: Wiz's UI is one of, if not -- the best UI I have ever used in a security application. Wiz is able to make it easy to follow and use the application to simplify the normally overcomplicated process of parsing through security information and tools.
• Marketing: Hosting meetups such as Wizdom has demonstrated Wiz's investment into its customers by providing us with more encouragement to use the app. The merch, ads, and presentation are above and beyond many companies in the tech industry.
• Threat Intel: We rely on Wiz for the latest finds in vulnerabilities across all platforms, and since it is incorporated into the application, it makes this easy and fast to push out necessary steps without going through multiple layers of communication between vendors, cyber governance, security analysts, and developers.

Incentivized

• UI can be complicated and hard to know where to click to find information.
• Ability to create and manage cases or tickets from events that trigger.

• The tool itself has many capabilities but using them operationally within the platform on a day to day basis for managing vulnerabilities is not a good experience.
• Our company was in desparate need of a tool to help us manage vulnerabilities so we could achieve a SOC 2 assurance report without findings.

Incentivized

• I would like to see the modification of the issue status to be wrapped in some form of a permission
• I would like to be able to show filtered queries on the Identity Entitlements screen also on the security graph.
• I wish I didn't have to create an automation rule (when the rule does just about the same thing in each) for each project (in Wiz).

Developer-Centric Design - Snyk integrates directly into IDEs (like VS Code and IntelliJ), CI/CD pipelines, GitHub/GitLab, and container registries. Clear, Actionable Vulnerability report issues are categorized by severity.


Reports include fix recommendations, pull request suggestions, and links to remediation advice.

The UI is very user-friendly, with documentation available on every page of the application. New users can learn about the product features as they navigate through several different pages, using the instructions at the top of each page, making it quite easy to use.

Compared to Sysdig Falco (the free open-source IDS), Lacework helps security teams by providing actionable alerts and a user-friendly interface that gives you an overview of all workloads being monitored, and detailed insights into these workloads if needed. Falco requires you to build your own integration and interface around it, including a mechanism to whitelist certain alerts. This made it harder for the security team to focus their time on potential intrusions.

Unfortunately, neither cover all of the use cases that we would like so we need to use both but they are both excellent tools as part of our vulnerability management. We find that Snyk helps us better with improving our MTTR of identified vulnerabilities when compared to inspector but that may be more based on how we have implemented both tools

We previously used Lacework but transitioned to Wiz as part of our effort to improve cloud security visibility and streamline risk management. While Lacework provided useful insights, we found that Wiz offered a clearer, more intuitive interface and better collaboration features, making it easier for both Security and Engineering teams to work together.
The Security Graph and automated risk analysis in Wiz have been especially valuable, helping us quickly understand exposures and prioritise fixes. Overall, the transition to Wiz has improved how we manage security risks across our cloud environment.

• Being a FinTech company, financial institutions who partner with us want to know that we are appropriately maintaining a Security, Risk and Compliance program that maintains a level of comfort for their vendor management. Lacework gives us the ability to monitor and maintain a level of security for our infrastructure that puts our partners at ease, reduces the revenue cycle for new partners and opens doors to the future.

• Increased developer experience
• Better productivity due to shift left as Vulnerabilities are caught earlier in the SDLC process
• Improved Vulnerability Management
• Common dashboard for various stages in CI/CD

• Wiz has saved us a lot of money and headaches. It finds problems we didn't even know we had, like weak passwords and open ports. This helps us fix things before hackers can find them. It's like having a team of security experts working 24/7.
• Plus, Wiz can fix some problems itself, saving us time and money. It's a great investment for our business.
• Wiz has made our cloud much safer. It helps us find and fix problems quickly, which means we can focus on our core business. It's like having an extra layer of protection for our data and systems.
