Lacework has intuitive UX design and its polygraph can display enterprise cloud instances... **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** I like that Lacework can scale more than ThreatStack's IDS because it can retain more than 3 days of logs. And Lacework can allow for webhook integration with Ops Genie **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** I think the Lacework hourly ML process can be faster. I wish cloud account alerts like the publicly open security group rule can be real-time. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am trying to solve real anomaly detection with zero-day vulnerabilities. Lacework can monitor network flow that looks suspicious ### 2. Lacework is good for compliance and docker images vulnerability **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Lakhan D. | DevOps, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 19, 2022 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** I liked Lacework Compliance and ecr vulnerability check is good. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** There is improvement required in policies and events for AWS cloudtrail. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using it for cloudtrail and config. ### 3. Impressive alerting security solution for business cloud applications **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 18, 2022 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** -Easy-to-use product with a beautiful dashboard. -Good customer support in slack. -Low false/positive of alerts. -Good additional information for each alert. -multi-cloud. -Easy implementation. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** -Integration with other services/application cloud (example azure AD). -Not all the alert can custome. -Some dashboard is slow. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** -security observability -alert for risk and service -observability security in containers ### 4. Fantastic Tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 10, 2021 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** Laces is seamless to integrate with our cloud tenants. The UI is very straight forward, allowing us to visualize our cloud security status easily. We integrated our SIEM to correlate security incidents. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** Their support for Linux is fantastic, but their Windows support is lacking. There currently is an agent in testing, but with our predominantly heavy use of Windows, we do have some gaps. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are solving the problem of understanding what exists within our cloud instances. It allows us to cut down on alerting easily. The behavioral analytics are great! **Official Response from Christine Medina:** > Hi! Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I'm happy to hear that the integration was easy and that our UI is helping with visibility across your environment. We do have Windows support that will be generally available in the next couple of months. You may already have this info, but, if not, please reach out to your CSM. ### 5. I go to bed easy because of Lacework **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** I like that it shows my compliance posture to SOC II and Hitrust. I also appreciate the visualization of threats eliminated. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** I don't have anything that I dislike. The platform is intuitive and is phenomenal. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are using it for risk review, and overall compliance posture review. **Official Response from Christine Medina:** > Super excited that we can help you sleep better at night, who doesn't need that! Thank you for providing your feedback and leaving us a review. ### 6. One of the easiest and efficient tool for carrying out container scans **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2022 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** Detailed report on the vulnerabilities and the ability to download the report for each container scans **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** Searching for a specific container among results is kind of cumbersome and not intuitive **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** Mitigating the security vulnerabilities found in containers thus making the product secure ### 7. Great for first pass compliance reviews. Still very Beta for containers and registry integration. **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** James L. | Head of AWS DevSecOps, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 13, 2021 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** It basically is like me hiring 6 DevSecOps team members and allows me to save so much time by instantly giving me visibility into the state of my security posture across all my AWS organizations. Even across my container workloads. I could not manage my accounts from a security standpoint without Lacework, not without hiring an entire team of senior AWS security experts. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** Consistent errors with the UI, container agent integration in wildly unstable, the documentation needs help and to date, we still can't fully integrate our DTR or Artifactory registries. The UI could be more intuitive. It takes some getting used to but it's worth it once you get over that hurdle. Documentation on the website needs to be improved but luckily Lacework has made up for this by being super responsive to support tickets. **Recommendations to others considering FortiCNAPP:** Run a PoC and you won't be disappointed. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am better prepared for PCI audits, I can vet recent teams cloud migrations, I can ensure that security related items are visualised then actually prioritised because Lacework makes it evident WHERE the problems are and how critical they are. It's really helped our org shift security left. ### 8. Lacework makes it easy to monitor malicious behaviour within our multi-cluster cloud environment! **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2021 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** There are a lot of things to like: - The detailed visibility of all our container workloads across multiple accounts is great - Anomaly-based detection allows us to focus our efforts - Setting up Lacework is very easy, including integrations with e.g., Jira, Slack, etc. - The lacework team is very helpful and proactive for any issues you might encounter **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** Not all runtime behavior 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. **Recommendations to others considering FortiCNAPP:** Highly recommend doing a PoC with Lacework. The ease of setup and the team's structured PoC approach with clearly defined success criteria helps you to see the value of the product quickly. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** Lacework allowed us to move away from a very intensive, time-consuming security monitoring process where a lot of manual investigation was needed. With Lacework, we can now fully integrate this with our other incident management processes. Especially in a multi-account, multi-cluster environment, the centralized overview offered by Lacework helps out a lot when triaging potential issues. ### 9. Easy to use and thorough **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 22, 2021 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** - Easy to configure across clusters and hosts - Detailed alerts - Light agent - Great Support **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** - Alerts are sometimes delayed - Compliance rules are updated without notice to the customer **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** - Compliance standards and audit requirements **Official Response from Christine Medina:** > Hello! Thank you for your review, I'm happy to hear that our platform easy to use and configure, and that the context-rich alerts are valuable to you. Love seeing that you feel supported by our teams too. ### 10. Critical Security Monitor Tool **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Derek G. | VP Systems Architecture, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 17, 2021 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** As our systems get larger, with more and more activity, Laceworks anomoly detection based approach is key to filtering out false positives so we can focus on events that matter. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** When it comes time to actually investigate an event, it could be a little easier to get at all the information you need. Not super easy to customize compliance rules at the moment although this is supposed to be on the roadmap :) **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** We use Lacework to monitor our infrastructure for anomolies and potentially malicious activity. ### 11. Increases visibility really effectively, growing in all the right ways. **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Mehmet Y. | Manager - Architecture and Risk, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 29, 2021 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** The cross cloud, cross data center visibility from the app level and the ability to weave a lot of data into a simpler process. Their roadmap is awesome, and features are malleable. They bring some intelligence data to the view as well. We get visibility from agents in concert with kubernetes and our cloud providers that makes actions much more meaningful. Filtering views is also a very nice feature - you can review how a pod communicates within a system with clever use of filtering. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** Lacework collects the data to provide many more features that would make compliance and security reviews significantly easier, but they are still growing and road mapping things. There is incredible potential in this tool. My only dislike is that we have to wait, but I am satisfied with the tremendous progress. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** Lacework can help reveal interactions between microservices you weren't expecting. It can help with detecting intrusion. It helps you get visibility when bad actors are hitting your services. Overall its wholistic view is very powerful and really helps contextualize network movement in an increasingly complex world of orchestrated deployments. ### 12. I can’t imagine managing infrastructure security and compliance without Lacework **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Francois D. | Director of Engineering, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2021 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** I can’t pick just one thing. The team at Lacework is incredible – they are easy to work with, proactive, and always ready to help. Installing their agents on all of our servers and connect services like AWS CloudTrail was a breeze and shortly after we did we were able to get valuable insights almost immediately. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** Sometimes I wish there was more details available. An example of this would be that we receive alerts for outbound HTTP connections to an IP address but can’t tell what process in our container made the call. It would be nice to get even more insights like the verb, path, etc. **Recommendations to others considering FortiCNAPP:** I was able to get everything setup and see value during the sales process with no commitment – I highly recommend you do that too. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** Security and compliance is important to us but manually monitoring and audits are incredibly time consuming. Lacework takes care of all of this for us and all we need to do is review alerts every now and then saving us a ton of time. Generating audits is as easy as clicking a button. ### 13. Lacework security **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Raj B. | Lead Site Reliability Engineer(SRE), Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 13, 2021 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** Centralized birds-eye view of the security platform. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** Nothing specific that bothered me afaik. **Recommendations to others considering FortiCNAPP:** Best security tool to consider imo. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** security analysis and compliance checks **Official Response from Christine Medina:** > Hi Raj! Thank you for the positive review. I love hearing that we are helping you meet your security goals — with our single platform. ### 14. Lacework enables Reltio to focus on what matters. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Terence R. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 07, 2021 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** Lacework provides a robust and ubiquitous view of security across all systems in AWS, GCP, and our microservices architectures. There is very little noise to signal which helps Security Analysts get alerted to and investigate potential issues. Vulnerability management runs continuously as do compliance checks which helps focus efforts to reduce risk. Having agents deployed as code means that the security team focuses less time on building security infrastructure and more time consuming information about current state of security. API and UI capabilities are used heavily by security engineering and operations teams. As a CISO, I don't need a special decoder ring or PhD in Lacework to benefit from the platform. Rollup summaries from the platform are now part of monthly reporting to all employees and quarterly reporting to the executive committee, security steering committee, and Board of Directors. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** I would not use the term dislike. Rather, there are a few areas of innovation where Lacework could focus such as with IAM (Identity and Access Management) permissions checks or other IAM policies. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** My goal was to gain a ubiquitous view of security across all systems regardless of deployment type or cloud service provider. Lacework was not only a significant part of achieving that goal, it also displaced several other lesser performing technologies. ### 15. Great CSPM tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Telecommunications | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 11, 2021 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** Easy to use, gives you good visibility, excellent to share with devops and devsecops teams **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** Not very flexible to write your policies user access management still very basic **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** Get visibility and compliance on all of our multicloud projects **Official Response from Christine Medina:** > Hi! Thank you so much for leaving us a review. I'm glad to hear that our platform is easy to use and providing you with the visibility you need you reach your compliance goals. We appreciate both the positive and constructive feedback you've provided. ### 16. Well designed, multi-cloud, consumer-grade UI and easy setup. Plus excellent support. **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Stephen V. | Director of Engineering Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 18, 2020 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** The fact that you can get ongoing value without having to invest a lot of time into the tool. It is relatively "set and forget" although additional configuration and attention can add to your visibility. Lacework continues to update the signatures to keep you automatically current with today's threat landscape. Any rule-based monitoring tool, in which you the customer have to maintain the rules, is going to be inherently limited. This gives your security team time back to do other things. It also has a very intelligent implementation of accounts / organizations enabling you to configure fine-grained SSO permissions across your different cloud accounts. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** I don't specifically dislike anything about the tool today. It can be a little disconcerting how much of the signal gets filtered out before hitting the alerting threshold, but the raw data is easily browsable and you can configure almost anything. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are addressing the problem we had in getting meaningful signal from such a huge amount of security data sources. Realistically once you are "monitoring" all of the different security data sources, you become limited by human cognition. Having machines help sort through all the noise is essential. ### 17. A second set of eyes when it comes to security **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 10, 2020 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** With the growth of instances and containers, it is difficult to monitor and review every log or activity. By using Lacework, we've been able to use the Lacework AI to net down patterns, violations, and compliance activity all in a single dashboard saving time and resources. More importantly, historical charts and reports are extremely helpful for audits to demonstrate alerting, notification and review. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** In my opinion, I think the natural progression for Lacework is to tie into or build its own SIEM. They have a great AI algorithm that can be expanded into security logs overall. **Recommendations to others considering FortiCNAPP:** The value of Lacework shines when you start seeing alerts that you weren't aware of. It is very thorough and keeps our attention on a day to day, hour by hour basis. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** * Leveraging compute to monitor and secure our environment * Saving time and resources by avoiding manual review * Reporting for audits * Defining custom patterns to detect and alert ### 18. Good alerting tool I have ever seen **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Pharmaceuticals | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 30, 2021 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** The Sysmetic order of parsing alerts according to the severity **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** No I have not seen any difficulties so far. **Recommendations to others considering FortiCNAPP:** N/A **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** All the integrated applications with severity level issues ### 19. Lacework usage **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 16, 2021 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** Agile development. Lacework always helping to bring new features to the product. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** agents. I wish to get more flexibility with using other endpoints to send json format data to Lacework **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** Filtering data before bring to SIEM. Quick reports to review compliances. Agile SIEM case development ### 20. The product is excellent, the people are even better **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 10, 2020 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** The entire team I've met from Lacework are incredible. Anjali Hedge and Andrew Dang I have worked with for a year and find them to be the easiest, most pleasant customer liaisons I have worked with. The product is very plug and play, and gives us excellent insights into our cloud environment. They integrate with a lot of tools so we can action on items we find. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** I wish the logging was better - they give you the option for alerts, but I'd love all logs to be ingested into our Splunk environment for better threat hunting. **Recommendations to others considering FortiCNAPP:** Be prepared to make changes to your cloud! Haha **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** Understanding our cloud architecture better - the compliance piece gives us configurations to change in our AWS environment while the events give us alerts into our environment. ### 21. High fidelity and observability into our environment! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 27, 2021 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** The high fidelity of the alerts with little noise to sort though. Also love the visualization. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** The sales process seemed to be very drawn out and not transparent as to pricing structure **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** Small security team and a lack of deep visibility and intelligence into our environment. Provided us with the tools we need to effectively protect and monitor our environment. ### 22. Great product! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Dmitry G. | CISO , Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 03, 2021 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** Great help to a security team. Drastically reduced the number of false-positive alerts. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** There few things to add to the functionality, but those are niceties and are on the road map. **Recommendations to others considering FortiCNAPP:** The seamless experience of deployment and usage across multiple types of infrastructure. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** Vulnerability management, IDS ### 23. Great security solution **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Raj A. | Cloud cum DevOps Engineer, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 02, 2020 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** lacework provide great range of security services to put on cloud hostings. with the evolution of cloud and virtualization of network taken to whole another level, and that lead to many loopholes in the feild of networking open for hackers and phishing agents. as we loose controle over the multiple ayers of network the problem of cyber security is getting very critical. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** there are many complications while integrating the platform with multicloud platform which sometimes lead to human errors and networking loopholes. we should try to improve the integration in a multicloud environment. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** as a cloud architect i had multiple problems dealing with security of cloud solutions. this ma,es my job easier as i can layoff my critical job of network security to lacework. it had been a roller coster ride before we got such amazing security solutions in the space. ### 24.

Responsive and Ahead of the Game **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gerald G. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 10, 2020 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** Coming from Threat Stack, our InfoSec team was pleased by not only the major improvement Lacework had overall, but how proactive they were in their overall improvements of their product. They're very much ahead of the game when it comes to new features while being attentive to their customers on potentially new features. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** Lacework's process of configuring and tuning the baseline for compliance can be opaque, resulting in alerts for known processes being generated. **Recommendations to others considering FortiCNAPP:** If you require the ability to resolve IP addresses while monitoring an IDS, Lacework has the features you need. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** With Threat Stack, we were unable to understand what host connections were trying to reach, tying in DNS. With Lacework, we were able to have that important information readily available. ### 26.

Lacework is a great tool to helping us with all aspects of those roles. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** We've had a few hiccups and false positives (i.e. the alert was incorrect, not that it flagged something irrelevant to our organization) but overall the team has been great working with us to resolve these issues. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** We worked with Lacework to get a Jira integration which has been great. Lacework was a also a cornerstone for our SOC 2 Type 2 process and provided us a lot of the evidence we needed for monitoring. ### 29.

Monitor AWS usage **Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 20, 2019 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** Compliance and usage monitoring. Auditing can be achieved from AWS directly. So not that critical. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** Interface can be more intuitive. Just to login to the portal I have switch back and forth between email and browser. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** Compliance and auditing. Ex: Track Changes to security groups. Auditing can be achieved from AWS directly. So not that critical. ### 35. Simplicity is the key to its power **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Internet | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 21, 2019 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** Lacework harmonizes and normalizes events data from multiple IaaS and PaaS and hosts data points to provide actionable alerts. For security practitioners, the signal-to-noise ratio is of the utmost importance; Lacework's intelligence reduces the noise to provides visibility into the signals that we need to address. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** Inability to adjust some of the alerts or the non-relevant CIS benchmark events, the UI could use a little more love to make it a bit more user-friendly and quicker to navigate. The lack of API/Webhooks makes it slightly more difficult to customize. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** From a regulatory and compliance perspective, Lacework addresses the Host-Based Intrusion Detection (HIDs) and File Integrity Monitoring (FIM) vectors. Not only that, it allows us to quickly drill down on outliers that are considered to be Indicators of Compromise. **Official Response from Tina Nguyen:** > Thank you for this great review! We value your feedback and appreciate your business. Regarding your concern about the lack of API/Webhooks, Lacework actually has Webhooks as an integration! If you need assistance or would like more information, please contact your dedicated Lacework Account Manager to learn more about this feature. ### 36. Great AWS Security Tool **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 15, 2019 **What do you like best about FortiCNAPP?** The host based features and the AWS configuration monitoring. **What do you dislike about FortiCNAPP?** Separate UI for each platform we have Lacework installed on. No centralized management of all your accounts. **What problems is FortiCNAPP solving and how is that benefiting you?** Host based IPS and AWS host configuration monitoring. ## FortiCNAPP Discussions -
