Case Study: Hypergiant achieves compliance and cuts alert noise with Lacework

Hypergiant Meets Compliance Frameworks, Consolidates Tools, and Cuts Down Alerts with Lacework

Hypergiant, an artificial intelligence enterprise software company, needed a better way to manage dozens of AWS accounts while meeting rigorous compliance requirements and reducing the burden of constant rule-writing. As its cloud environment grew, the team struggled with account sprawl, log aggregation, and the need to keep security visibility aligned with its DevSecOps workflow. Hypergiant turned to Lacework to help bring order and ground truth to its cloud security operations.

With Lacework, Hypergiant quickly deployed multi-account CloudTrail, automated onboarding with Terraform, and gained immediate actionable alerts and compliance visibility across its AWS environment. Lacework helped the company reach NIST 800-171 standards during the trial, consolidate three tools into one, cut alerts by 70% to about three per day, and reduce engineer workload by 20 hours per week. The results also helped Hypergiant win more than $10 million in new business while making security more accessible to developers.
