Case Study: Wavefront achieves improved cloud security visibility with Lacework

Wavefront Secures DevOps Environments at Scale with Lacework

Wavefront, a VMware company, needed to secure a fast-changing public cloud environment running thousands of containerized workloads across tens of thousands of hosts. The team wanted a way to know in real time whether a zero-day vulnerability or breach might be present, rather than relying on monthly compliance reports that quickly became outdated. Wavefront used Lacework to help monitor this dynamic DevOps environment.

Lacework continuously watches for meaningful changes in behavior, giving Wavefront real-time alerts and better visibility into security posture. This helped the team quickly investigate anomalies, prove SOC compliance with CIS benchmark data, and reduce reliance on domain experts. As a result, Wavefront gained stronger confidence in its security status and could answer the critical question of whether it was breached or not.
