FortiCNAPP Demo - High-Severity Event Card
This screenshot is of an event card associated with a Critical alert. From this card, we can determine that this alert was triggered by an anomalous activity, that it's internet exposed, and that it's already connected to a Jira ticket (LWAL-3955) for remediation. You can also explore why the ale...
FortiCNAPP Demo - High-Severity Event Polygraph Visualization
Within every event card is a visualization, mapping out the exposure path. Here, we see that the initial Critical alert mentioned in the previous screenshot (a bad external host connection) stemmed from a log4j vulnerability.
FortiCNAPP Demo - Environment-wide Polygraph Visualization
At any point, users can get a view of all application communications across an entire cloud environment, over a set period of time.

"We enhanced security and compliance"
What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?

I like Lacework because its interface is very intuitive and can plug directly into the tools we are already using, such as AWS and Azure. Many features that have proven to be a great benefit to our company include the real time threat detection, which gives alert and comprehensive report. Another thing that needs a mention is the customer support, the service is always willing to help with various problems. Lacework has more than likely helped save time in our security aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?

A disadvantage of Lacework is that it can be somewhat complicated to set up at the beginning. This consumed more time and resources that could have been used in our work thus affecting it. Also the number of features available can be quite confusing and may take time to get used to, thus reducing the initial productivity rates. However, after some time, it was possible to notice the features that made the software useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good product but dont like the UI experience much"
What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?

Mainly like the different set of standards it provides like SOC2, PCIDSS, HIPAA etc. where we can generate reports directly against each compliance framework which is very helpful during an audit.

I really like the findings it provides using agents with our kubernetes platform where lacework can give us more granular findings on the container behavior in the platform where we struggled to find what was happening within the kubernetes infrastructure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?

The dashboard is difficult to navigate, making it challenging to quickly find specific information or insights.

Also creating custom dashboards for our requirement is not straightforward.

Automation with the AWS control tower is not working time to time where they have not considered large scale setups where the architecture does not scale for hundreds of accounts migration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Our cloud data is strongly protected by this modern software"
What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?

The main feature of Lacework is its strong cloud security compared with others. The way it perfectly harmonizes with our cloud headings has made a tremendous impact in our cyber security. It enables us to uncover any activities instantly and conduct in-depth threat analysis, making us to be always in front of the possible threats. The AI-driven analytics are the source of good insights allowing early identification of the risk issues. Also the simplicity of its interface makes security management quick thus it boosts our team effectiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?

Of course Lacework, without a doubt, also has some aspects where it could improve. Although it provides a great range of features, it is not as capable as certain other similar softwares. Although it is perfect on its main functions related to reporting, notifying anomalies, and impact scanning, sometimes we need such extra features that Lacework doesn't deliver. This restriction makes it necessary to find the circular solutions or integrate our system with other tools to meet all our needs, which increases the complexity of our process.

"The best Cloud Security Assessment Tool"
What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?

We are the security consultants and we provide Lacework Tool as the Cloud Security Assessment Tool as a Service to the Customers.

Lacework has helped to find all the cloud misconfigurations as well as vulnerabilities in the azure,aws and gcp clouds. This tool also helps a lot as the security administrators as the tool is very easy to use and also generates very high level reports according the the CISO requirements.

The security administrators can easily find the vulnerabilities, and threats very easily by the lacework's best feature i.e Polygraph feature(also known as graphical/ flowchart view of the threats) which also helps in preventing the issue before happening.

We have already helped the customers in providing Lacework cloud Security Assessment service and they are pretty much satisfied.

The Customer Support is also very decent.

The one thing which I personally like is that Lacework always tries to expand new features in their tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?

1] The implementation as well as the Cloud Onboarding into Lacework Platform is very complex and it requires very high level of effort.

2] the Integration of the other security products such as SIEM, Tcketing Tools are also very complex process.

3] to generate cloud security alerts lacework requires some of the prerequisites of the cloud services.

example :- the get AWS Cloud Security Alerts in Lacework, the AWS Config Service must be enabled in the AWS Cloud. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good product with high fidelity alerting"
What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?

Good UX and provides great visibility into cloud environments with intuitive and actionable insights. Also provides good contextual benefits for detections (events) that might amount to incidents, which is helpful if you need to triage and respond quickly. I also find the ability to easily deploy and integrate with various cloud services incredibly helpful for me and my team, especially when we're under tight time constraints to provide assurance back to the business on levels of visibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?

I think the ability to build out automation workflows for more granular types of alerting could be helpful for organisations that have Lacework but don't yet have a SIEM and/or SOAR platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great to get up and running quickly; Difficult for advanced security teams to get details"
What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?

How fast it is to deploy, integrate and implement and start protecting the cloud. Contact with Customer support has been limited but positive to date. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?

How difficult it is to search, often involves just going to other products to find the logs and details for alerts. Has never produced a true positive, which is fine, but for AI it never seems to learn from it's mistakes. It feels just like I have outsourced my rules writing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
