Lacework is the security company for the cloud. The Lacework Cloud Security Platform is offered as-a-Service and delivers build-time to run-time threat detection, behavioral anomaly detection, and cloud compliance across AWS, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes services, workloads, and containers. Trusted by enterprise customers worldwide, Lacework significantly drives down costs and risk, and removes the burden of unnecessary toil, rule writing, and inaccurate alerts.

Because cloud environments are noisy, nobody has enough resources to pay attention to every single alert. The only way to effectively prioritize risks and detect threats, therefore, is to gain complete visibility and context from code to cloud. 

To achieve this feat requires consolidating all previously siloed capabilities—e.g. scanning of cloud accounts for misconfigurations, CSPM, CIEM, KSPM, CWPP, and more—to a single view. Given these myriad components, the path to success is often, well, cloudy. 

In this Fireside Chat, ESG Senior Analyst Melinda Marks sits down with Tim Chase, Global Field CISO at Lacework, to examine actionable strategies with which you can cut through the noise to prioritize cloud security risks with precision. Tune in to discover how:

• To strengthen cloud security risk prioritization 
• Developers and security pros should collaborate to identify vulnerabilities
• Lacework helps their customers reduce cloud attack surfaces 
• And much more

How Lacework’s security assessment established the cloud future for Clariness

Understanding your complex cloud environment is tricky. Workloads, containers, and serverless functions are added and removed constantly. Vulnerabilities are endless. Security staff is in short supply.

But here’s the reality: cloud security is built in incremental steps. And process improvement involves multiple stakeholders — not just security teams.

Do you need to up-level your existing cloud security strategy? Wherever you find yourself, start your journey with confidence, knowing you can add more security layers as your needs evolve.

Watch our on-demand webinar with IDC Group Vice President, Security & Trust, Frank Dickson, and Lacework Distinguished Cloud Strategist Mark Nunnikhoven for a discussion on the most effective way to build a cloud security strategy using data, analysis, and actionable insights to reduce risk and deliver maximum coverage.

There's a lot of uncertainty about how the current geopolitical conflict will affect ransomware. Evidence and compelling arguments point in both directions right now -- we could end up with more ransomware, or less.

While it may be too soon to say, one thing is for sure. Preparing for the worst is more prudent than simply hoping for the best. And trendlines over the last few years in terms of ransomware volume and severity have all been pointing up and to the right.

During this Ecocast, you’ll learn about the latest solutions to help arrest the scourge of ransomware, whether it's a human-centric or technology-driven approaches. And you’ll find out how to rapidly recovery from ransomware as the last line of defense.

The Log4j vulnerability continues to keep security teams up at night. As with any vulnerability, it is critical to quickly determine how exposed your operations may be and if you’ve been compromised.

In this On-Demand Webinar we cover:

- How attackers are currently leveraging this vulnerability
- How to address if your organization has a Log4j vulnerability
- How to future-proof your cloud environment for whatever comes next

Dissecting the Log4j Vulnerability

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) empowers [or propels] engineering teams to move faster by abstracting low-level details into high-level APIs. To maximize efficiency, teams often go all in on IaaS for computing, databases, and storage. But those efficiency gains may help attackers storm your cloud environments post-compromise.

Join Lacework Chief Architect Ulfar Erlingsson and Michael Bentley, Sr. Product Manager as they cover:

* Detecting compromise entry points
* Defeating attacker strategies, mapped to Mitre ATT&CK
* Differentiating automation, misconfigurations, and compromises

Behaviors of Compromised Cloud Environments

The Future of Cloud Security

Infrastructure as Code (IaC) is quickly becoming the primary mechanism to manage cloud infrastructure at massive scale. While this significantly increases innovation speed, it also introduces additional risk.

Shift Left Faster: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Security For the Win

As organizations continue to evolve their DevOps practices, modern software innovation has continued to accelerate, with apps being delivered faster and with better stability. At the same time, development teams continue to move workloads into the public cloud and build new applications and services directly in the cloud.  This elevated pace of software delivery and cloud adoption, however, has brought along with it a significant increase in malicious cybersecurity attacks.

Evolution of Cloud Security From DevOps to DevSecOps

View this On-Demand webinar with Andrew Bearsley, Senior Solutions Engineer at Lacework. He'll discuss the best practices on using the essentials to smarten and scale your SIEM for optimal cloud security and cost efficiency.

Essentials To Scaling Your SIEM

Most security tools battle cyber threats using the tried-and-true method of rules-based detection. But this industry standard has its limitations and misses new attacks never before seen in the wild.

What if, instead of endlessly writing and maintaining rules to identify bad actors and irregularities, you could base security on the normal, healthy operations of an environment?

In this on-demand webinar, we will explore how anomaly-based threat detection can help you surface unexpected changes in your cloud environment that require attention, reduce alert volume, and drive better security outcomes.
