About

Lacework is a cloud security platform providing automated threat detection, vulnerability management, and compliance monitoring for cloud-native infrastructure — using behavioral analytics and machine learning (its Polygraph technology) to establish normal baseline behavior across cloud workloads, containers, Kubernetes, and multi-cloud environments, then detect anomalous activity that indicates compromise without requiring manually written detection rules. Founded in 2015 in Mountain View and backed by approximately $1.9 billion in total funding from investors including Sutter Hill Ventures, Tiger Global, and General Catalyst, Lacework merged with Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT) in October 2024.
