Lacework Reviews and Ratings

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We mainly use Lacework for User and Entity Behavior Analytics. It allows us to be aware of any anomalies in our systems, be it a process, a user or a connection coming from an unusual location etc. The beauty of it is that the platform takes care of establishing a baseline of what is usual behavior in the systems, and once that is done, it becomes humanly possible to sift through the incoming alerts of what is considered out of the norm.

<div>Lacework is cloud native. If you have workloads running in any of the major cloud providers, I think it would make security management and compliance easier.</div><div>For on-prem environments, it would definitely work. But I think it would be an overkill, as you would not be using all it has to offer.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We used Lacework as a service that performed behavioral analysis of the AWS Infrastructure layer (Cloudtrail, AWS Config), the server host processes, and user activities within AWS and the server itself. We also used Lacework Container Security to deliver end-to-end visibility of Docker container images by providing vulnerability assessments and malware detection. Vulnerability scanning for production instances with centralized logging and event analysis is a ‘must-have’ for customers from any product in the Commercial/GxP state.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Lacework solutions help our company improve significantly our security posture in our cloud environment. We were looking for an easy-to-use solution and covered all our cloud assets. The tool is used on a daily basis to monitor vulnerabilities, threats in our environment, our posture against CIS benchmark... Security and DevOps teams are using the solution every week.

Likelihood to Recommend

This solution is perfect to protect your cloud environment, especially if you have difficulties with AWS services. To handle a scalable environment and give exhaustive visibility of our environment to our DevOps team. The solution is really plugging and playing for vulnerability detection and compliance. You need to wait a few days or weeks to have good detection capabilities to detect threats on your assets and network

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We utilize Lacework to monitor and alert on Security Risk and Compliance issues within our Cloud Infrastructure environments. Similar to a SIEM in functionality without the overhead in resources of a traditional solution, Lacework provides the function that our team needs to protect the systems and data our company depends on daily.

Likelihood to Recommend

Lacework is a wonderful solution for assets located in public cloud hosting environments, however not suited for those assets in private datacenters or on premises.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Lacework to keep an eye on our cloud environments. Lacework gives us a single pane of glass to see across all of our cloud workloads. It also helps baseline to determine if there is an anomaly in our network. Daily alerts helps our Incident response team prioritize and tackle urgent issues.

Likelihood to Recommend

Lacework easily integrates with all the major cloud platforms to provide you an overall health picture. The user interface is easy to navigate, and provides actionable data. They are constantly updating and improving the over all experience. The machine learning allows Lacework to "learn" what a baseline is for our environment, and can then provide alerts when an anomaly occurs.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We are using Lacework's Intrusion Detection capabilities to monitor our cloud workloads (mostly k8s clusters) for malicious behaviour. Lacework is integrated with our ticketing system and automatically creates tickets when anomalous behaviour is detected. Because alerting is based on anomaly detection, we are able to focus our efforts on alerts that have a higher probability of being malicious, compared to other IDS solutions we used before.

Likelihood to Recommend

Lacework is working great when you have multiple workloads running on different cloud environments, especially because deploying the agent is very easy. The Lacework interface then gives a great overview of all workloads being monitored and will create automated alerts when it detects anomalous behaviour. The integrations with ticketing and messaging then allow you to make these alerts actionable.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

The detailed visibility of all our containers across multiple accounts is great. Anomaly-based detection allows us to focus our efforts and time on other events. Integrations with Jira, Slack, etc. are very easy to set up. The lacework team is very helpful before and during purchase.

Likelihood to Recommend

As a SOC, Lacework enables us to filter millions of events down to actionable items, which in turn frees up our time for more important activities.
