Lacework vs Tenable

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

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.

Lacework's compliance monitoring detects configuration drift from SOC 2 and CIS benchmarks within minutes of a change, flagging issues before the next scheduled audit scan.

Tenable.io correlates vulnerability severity with asset criticality scores, surfacing the top 3% of vulnerabilities that pose real risk versus thousands of theoretical findings.

Tenable Identity Exposure maps Active Directory misconfigurations to known attack paths like AS-REP Roasting, showing how attackers could escalate from a standard user to Domain Admin.

Tenable Attack Surface Management discovers internet-facing assets not in the asset inventory, attributing orphaned domains and IP ranges back to the owning organization.
