Lacework has been deeply focused on finding new ways to use data to solve customer problems since its foundation more than nine years ago. At our core, we believe that true cloud security is rooted in comprehensive data, agility, end-to-end visibility, and smart scalability. That’s why our achievements in cloud security have been consistently recognized for our market-leading innovation.

What’s next? The future of cloud security leadership

At Lacework, we’re charting the course for what leadership in the cloud security field will look like in the future. Our recent achievements highlight two key themes that will shape the future as the cloud continues to change: customer-driven innovation and adaptable, comprehensive security.

Customer-driven innovation: When it comes to evolving and enhancing our solutions, we know that the single most important aspect when developing a roadmap is to align innovation with customer needs. That’s why we’re named a leader in the G2 reports, validated for our innovation by Frost & Sullivan, included in Snowflake’s report for data-driven solutions, and named a Leader by GigaOm.
Adaptable, comprehensive security: True leaders are creating solutions that aren’t just effective today, but are designed to adapt and scale with the inevitable changes we’ll face as we continue to rely more heavily on cloud technologies and operations. This involves understanding and anticipating the changes ahead.
