Aqua Security vs Lacework

Aqua DTA sandboxes container images and executes them in an isolated environment, detecting malicious behaviors like data exfiltration or persistence mechanisms not visible in static scans.

Lacework's Polygraph technology builds a normal behavior baseline for every cloud account and workload, alerting on deviations without requiring any manual rule configuration.

Aqua's secrets detection scans source code, config files, and env variables in CI pipelines, catching hardcoded API keys before they reach a container registry.

Lacework correlates user API calls, network connections, and process events into a single composite alert, reducing hundreds of low-confidence signals to a handful of high-confidence incidents per day.
