About the team:
Lacework Agent is a crucial component of our cloud workload portfolio. It collects data with all the context needed for providing customers with complete runtime visibility into their security posture. It also feeds this data into various modeling algorithms that generate events to inform customers of any malicious activity that may occur within their workloads.

It is deployed on hundreds of thousands of machines and continues to scale. Key objective is to serve Cloud Security use cases without losing data fidelity while supporting a wide range of Kubernetes/cloud environments.
