FEATURE : CLOUD SECURITY view of vulnerabilities and misconfigurations within the cloud environment .
Agentless workload scanning can be implemented for a single Google Cloud project or at the Organization level to apply to any / all Google Cloud projects with one integration .
Additionally , for customers using Lacework multi-tenancy , the results from individual Google Cloud projects can be routed automatically to their mapped Lacework accounts .
Lacework
Founded in 2015 and headquartered in Mountain View , California , with offices all over the world , Lacework is backed by leading investors like Sutter Hill Ventures , Altimeter Capital , Liberty Global Ventures and Snowflake Ventures , among others .
In November 2021 Lacework announced it has raised $ 1.3 billion in growth funding at a valuation of $ 8.3 billion .
Finally , Lacework , in partnership with Google Cloud , is strengthening its Google Cloud Eventarc integration which allows security professionals to build eventdriven architectures without having to implement , customize or maintain the underlying infrastructure . It offers a standardized solution to manage the flow of state changes , which Google Cloud calls events , between decoupled microservices .
With events sent from the Lacework Polygraph Data Platform to Eventarc , an organization can easily manage the workflow of these events ; whether routing the event to a specific group , sending information to an internal tool or performing remediation on the affected resource .
At a time when enterprises are seeking flexibility in how they run their cloud business , Lacework is delivering more optionality for customers to innovate securely in Google Cloud . p
With this capital , pitched at the time as the largest funding round in security industry history , Lacework continues to invest in rapidly scaling its business globally , building on momentum of more than 3x year-over-year revenue growth , a 3.5x year-over-year increase in new customers – including LogicMonitor , Hypergiant and Sprinklr – and more than 3x year-over-year employee growth worldwide – as of 2021 .
The founding thesis of Lacework is that cloud security is fundamentally a data problem .
Solving this problem – brought on by the enormous scale , evolving technologies , adaptive infrastructure and constant change of cloud environments – requires rethinking the traditional approach to security .
The Lacework Cloud Security Platform is pitched as the only technology that integrates security natively from code to run time . Lacework provides Security and Development teams with a correlated and prioritized end-to-end view that pinpoints the largest risks and handful of security events that matter most .
