Case Study: Astera Labs achieves stronger zero trust security and faster site deployment with Lacework Edge

Astera Labs reimagine network access and security using Lacework Edge

Astera Labs, a fast-growing semiconductor company, needed a more secure and manageable alternative to its open source VPN and legacy network monitoring tools. Its existing setup offered weak network controls, limited performance tracking, and no effective way to monitor anomalous user behavior across globally distributed teams and sites. Lacework Edge was introduced to help modernize network access and security.

With Lacework Edge, Astera Labs implemented refined network segmentation, role-based access, anomaly detection, and simpler remote site deployment. Lacework enabled the company to move from open VPN infrastructure toward a zero trust model, improving compliance and security while reducing operational friction. The impact was significant: new sites could be rolled out in hours instead of weeks, suspicious activity could be flagged in real time, and the company gained stronger visibility and control over sensitive access.
