Lacework has announced that it
has extended native security support for Amazon Web Services (AWS)
services including AWS Graviton2 and AWS Fargate. These additions give
Lacework customers using AWS in-depth security visibility, threat
detection, configuration compliance, and context into cloud security
data and changes for all compute types: virtual machines, containers,
containers as services, containers on demand, bare metal and serverless.
Lacework
was built for the cloud and the continuous changes of cloud workloads,
making it ideal for scaling security as a digital business grows.
Lacework tracks behaviors over time and uses automation to eliminate
manual security tasks. As a result, Lacework customers avoid complex
setup and save hours a week while consolidating multiple point products
and accelerating feedback loops with precise telemetry and APIs for
DevSecOps collaboration.
In its continued efforts to provide the most comprehensive cloud security solution for customers on AWS, Lacework now offers:
AWS Graviton2 ARM-based Infrastructure Security with Lacework
Lacework
has released an agent for securing ARM64-based VMs with AWS Graviton1
and Graviton2 instances. The Lacework ARM security agent offers AWS
users lower costs than traditional Intel and AMD servers, and enables
the same functionality for ARM hosts as all other cloud hosts. Customers
switching to ARM servers have reported savings as great as 40% for the
same or improved performance.
"We've
been helping customers secure their clouds and drive cost efficiencies
by switching to ARM since we released support in the fall of 2020," said
Dan Hubbard, Chief Product Officer at Lacework. "Now, enterprise
customers seeking to achieve significant savings are realizing the
advantages of adopting ARM and AWS Graviton-based instances. With the
Lacework ARM security agent and our support across AWS services, we're
proud to offer the most comprehensive cloud security platform to protect
all types of workloads on AWS."
Asset Discovery for AWS Environments
Lacework
customers are now able to understand what's in their AWS account from
within Lacework, without the need to navigate to the AWS console. This
gives DevSecOps teams immediate visibility and context into what's in
their AWS account, so they can understand inventory and track resource
configuration changes over time.
"Lacework
allows us to see all of the assets in our AWS environment and recognize
how they have changed over time," said Will Au, VP Cloud Services at
Jitterbit. "We can now easily understand what changed, when it changed,
and who changed it. This allows us to be more secure as an organization,
and also optimize our usage-based AWS billing."
Container & Workload Security for AWS Fargate
While
most containers run on a host, in Fargate, AWS manages the host.
Lacework now provides continuous security observability and threat
detection for AWS Fargate Containers. Native support for AWS Fargate
means that developers can now use AWS Fargate containers with
confidence, and teams can apply Lacework container security to an even
broader array of container services.
"With
Lacework, we can see which of our Fargate containers are running, the
applications running within them, and the relationship of those
applications with other applications and services," said Francois
Deschenes, Director of Engineering, TINT at Filestack. "We also take
advantage of the historical views so we can understand what happened in
our Fargate containers, long after they have been deleted."
Secure, Automated IaC Deployments with Terraform
Customers
deploying workloads using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) need to automate
the deployment of their security tools. Lacework has released
comprehensive Terraform modules for AWS that enable organizations to
automatically add visibility and security to their rapidly-changing AWS
environments.
"Coveo
manages over a dozen AWS accounts, so it is critical to us to embrace
Infrastructure as Code (IaC)," said Jean-Philippe Lachance, Team Lead,
R&D Security Defence at Coveo. "We were thrilled to partner with
Lacework to build out their Terraform deployment modules, and are
pleased that other like-minded DevSecOps organizations can also leverage
these templates. With the Lacework Terraform automations, we can
rapidly deploy to ensure our changing AWS environment is secure, and we
can continue to innovate with speed, efficiency, and confidence."
Lacework Achieves AWS Container Security Competency Status
Lacework
is pleased to announce that they have been awarded the AWS Container
Security Competency status. This designation recognizes Lacework's
technical capabilities and proven success helping companies detect and
visualize threats in containerized environments.
"Pindrop
protects our containerized environments with Lacework," said Paresh
Patel, VP & Chief Information Security Officer at Pindrop. "The
Lacework platform gives us critical visibility into our containers and
protects us against known and unknown potential threats. We are pleased
to see that Lacework has achieved the prestigious AWS Security
Competency status, as it confirms what we already know: that Lacework
provides an outstanding container security solution."
Lacework
is available directly through AWS Marketplace, and additional platform
capabilities and pricing are available via private offer.
