Lacework is a cloud-native security platform that provides real-time visibility into multi-cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP). It uses machine learning to profile normal behavior, detect anomalies, and automatically respond to threats. Unlike traditional vulnerability scanners, Lacework works at the API level—every cloud action is observed and analyzed. The platform combines compliance management (CIS, PCI-DSS, HIPAA frameworks), cloud workload protection, and API-driven incident response. It integrates with SIEMs (Splunk, DataDog) and ticketing systems (ServiceNow, Jira) to fit into existing SOC workflows.
