S3 Data Export vs. Snowflake Data Share
Lacework supports two export mechanisms—data share via Snowflake and data export via Amazon S3. Both tools are used to export Lacework-processed data to either report/visualize alone or combine with other data to gain insights and make meaningful business decisions. These tools offer long-term data retention and encompass all of Lacework’s data—including alerts, DNS lookups, IP connections, process attributions, etc. The table below compares the two mechanisms to help you determine which best suits your needs.
