Lacework and Snowflake enter cloud security partnership

The firms have agreed to collaborate to develop a new offering designed to support compliance, incident response and security metrics.

Lacework and Snowflake have established a product integration and go-to-market partnership, set to expand the availability of Lacework data in the Snowflake Data Cloud.

This is aimed at enabling organisations to quickly and cost-effectively analyse and report on risk and threats across their cloud and container environments.

Touted benefits of the integration include enabling customers to:

gain flexibility with custom analytics;
power dashboards that serve a broader audience; and
respond to incidents more cost-effectively.

“With more business-critical workloads moving to the cloud, security visibility in those cloud environments is no longer a nice-to-have – it’s an imperative,” Christian Kleinerman, SVP of product at Snowflake said.

“Lacework’s unique security insights become even more powerful when analysed in the customer’s Snowflake security data lake, allowing stakeholders within and outside the security organisation to gain timely and actionable insights into their cloud environments, compliance risks and ultimately their business.”

David Hatfield, chairman and co-CEO of Lacework said the firms share a “data-driven DNA”.

“Partnering with an industry leader like Snowflake, whose revolutionary Data Cloud is breaking the mold, truly validates our thesis at Lacework: security is a data problem,” he said.

“More and more frequently, security has become a boardroom discussion, and business leaders need an effective way to show progress against their security posture.

“This partnership enables our customers to not just show that progress but unlocks value so meaningful they can bet their business on it.”
