While Lacework focuses on cloud and runtime, TigerGate provides full SAST, SCA, secrets detection, and IaC scanning. Catch vulnerabilities before they reach production.
- Static Application Security Testing (SAST)
- Software Composition Analysis (SCA)
- Secrets and credential scanning
API & AI Security
TigerGate includes specialized scanners for API security testing and AI/LLM security—critical capabilities Lacework doesn't offer.
- REST, GraphQL, SOAP API testing
- AI/LLM prompt injection detection

eBPF-Powered Runtime
TigerGate uses industry-leading eBPF technology for kernel-level visibility and enforcement, providing deeper runtime insights than Lacework's agent-based approach.
- Zero performance overhead (<3% CPU)
- Real-time policy enforcement
- Kernel-level compliance evidence
Flexible & Transparent
Unlike Lacework's cloud-only platform, TigerGate offers flexible deployment options. Self-host or use our managed cloud—your choice.
