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.
Malwarebytes is an endpoint protection platform offering malware detection, remediation, and EDR for consumers, SMBs, and enterprises across Windows, Mac, and mobile.
About
Malwarebytes is a cybersecurity company headquartered in Santa Clara, California that provides endpoint protection, detection, and response software to consumers, small and midsize businesses, and enterprises. Founded in 2008, Malwarebytes originally built its reputation as a best-in-class malware remediation tool used to clean up infections that traditional antivirus software had missed — a positioning that grew a massive consumer user base and established the brand as a trusted remediation authority. The company subsequently expanded its product line from a standalone remediation utility to a full endpoint protection platform capable of replacing traditional antivirus, and has extended into EDR, DNS filtering, and incident response capabilities for business customers who need more than reactive cleanup.
