- Custom Policies (Limited Beta): Currently Lacework implements an automated way to discover behaviors on monitored entities and alert based on anomalies within those behaviors specific to you environment. Lacework received feedback about the need to define environment specific alerts (Policies/Rules) in addition to behavior based monitoring. These may be specific to your internal security goals or compliance driven controls, while Lacework will detect these the first time they happen, it will not generate multiple alerts for repeated behavior and needed a user configurable approach. To learn more about how to use Custom Policies refer to this support article.
