Supported Linux Operating Systems
To analyze application, host, and user behavior, Lacework uses a lightweight agent, which securely forwards collected metadata to the Lacework cloud for analysis. The agent requires minimal system resources and runs on most 64-bit Linux distributions such as the following:
