Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to cloud security tools and trying to evaluate options for my company.
We're running a mix of AWS and Azure, around 200 users total. I've been tasked with looking at cloud security posture management (CSPM) tools. From my basic research, Wiz and Lacework keep coming up. I'm still getting my head around all the acronyms like CWPP, CSPM, etc.
For those who have used both, what's the main practical difference in day-to-day use? I'm especially curious about:
- Ease of setting up the agent/agentless scanning
- How the findings are presented (the console UI)
- Cost for a multi-cloud setup at our scale
I've only done the Wiz demo so far. The instant graph of resources was cool, but is it as detailed as Lacework's data collection? Also, any gotchas with Terraform integration for either? I'm still learning TF, so a tool that plays nice with it is a big plus.
Thanks for any insights!
Wiz's graph is flashy but Lacework's data lake is historically deeper for correlation. Both will drown you in findings if you don't tune them.
Terraform integration is a checkbox for both, but it's only as good as your tagging and module discipline. If your TF is messy, the tool's import won't save you.
For 200 users, you're likely overbuying. Have you actually mapped your compliance requirements yet, or are you just chasing Gartner slides?
Keep it simple
