VMblog visits the Lacework booth during KubeCon 2019 in San Diego.

Lacework brings a comprehensive platform approach to security for modern environments. As organizations operate in an environment from build time and DevOps into run time with workloads and accounts, it's far more efficient and accurate to apply a single security platform across this entire continuous set of operations.

Additionally, companies are using a mix of cloud, containers, on-prem, bare metal, and other ways to create and transact data and users. Point products for each of these scenarios does not give the level of insight required to effectively identify vulnerabilities. But having a platform provides deep visibility into activities, irrespective of how related or unrelated they are. Watch and learn how they approach security with a comprehensive, build-time to run-time approach. And see how their behavioral anomaly detection achieves more accurate understanding of risks and vulnerabilities.
