Alerts versus Reports

Alerts and reports contain the same information about issues detected by Lacework. Alerts are typically meant to be consumed immediately after they occur so you can take appropriate action. Alerts can be delivered through all channel types. Reports are typically meant to be generated and delivered once per day for a predefined information set, such as SOC 2 or NIST. You can run reports on-demand as well. Reports can be delivered through email channels only.
