Wiz's acquisition by Google for $32 billion highlights its success in the cloud security market. Despite Lacework's early entry and solid team, Wiz's superior product strategy and data infrastructure contributed to its victory. Lacework launched in 2015 with a data platform focused on threat detection using relationships among cloud assets. However, its choice of Snowflake as a foundation limited its effectiveness in handling graph workloads, which was critical for its mission. Engaging discussions online reveal the competitive analysis between Lacework and Wiz.
