Lacework is well suited for behavioral analysis. One thing to consider thought is in the early stages there will be quite a bit of noise generated by Lacework. There will be a higher volume alerts generated initially - until a good baseline is generated. Overall Lacework is good with alert handling - integration with Slack is good.

Pros
  • The detailed visibility of all our container across multiple accounts is great.
  • Anomaly-based detection allows us to focus our efforts and time on other events. Integrations with Jira, Slack, etc. are very easy to set up.
  • The lacework team is very helpful before and during purchase.

  • Insightful reasoning for issue and suggested solutions.

Cons
  • Not all runtime behaviour alerts offer enough data to decide whether or not something is malicious. Having even more data (e.g., what process is doing a specific action) would help.

  • Setting up is complex and when not do no properly provides too many false positives.
  • We use another tool in parallel because it does not cover all of our languages especially for older code that is in mixed languages.
  • Integrating it with bitbucket was not straight forward.

Developer-Centric Design - Snyk integrates directly into IDEs (like VS Code and IntelliJ), CI/CD pipelines, GitHub/GitLab, and container registries. Clear, Actionable Vulnerability report issues are categorized by severity.


Reports include fix recommendations, pull request suggestions, and links to remediation advice.

Alternatives Considered
Compared to Sysdig Falco (the free open-source IDS), Lacework helps security teams by providing actionable alerts and a user-friendly interface that gives you an overview of all workloads being monitored, and detailed insights into these workloads if needed. Falco requires you to build your own integration and interface around it, including a mechanism to whitelist certain alerts. This made it harder for the security team to focus their time on potential intrusions.

Developer-Centric Design


Snyk integrates seamlessly into the dev workflow (IDEs, Git, CI/CD).


Tools like Veracode/Fortify are security team-centric, with less developer engagement.


Unlike WhiteSource or Sonatype, Snyk has a faster learning curve and actionable fixes.

  • The API is extensive enough for many integration options.
  • API keys are rotated on a non-preferred time schedule. There's no way to configure this.
  • We had a great experience with the support team and success managers while setting up the product and onboarding projects into the tool
