Expert Take
Lacework works well when teams need behavioral anomaly detection to filter out multi-cloud alert noise. The friction starts when utilizing its Infrastructure as Code (IaC) scanning, which lacks context awareness, or when navigating its time-consuming initial setup. Before buying, compare vs Orca Security, which offers a holistic platform to avoid Fortinet platform lock-in.
