Overview
Stream Security, formerly Lightlytics, focuses on real-time cloud detection and response, modeling cloud infrastructure and its relationships as they change. Its identity and entitlement analysis is part of understanding cloud risk in motion.
What it is good at
Its real-time model of cloud state connects identity and permission changes to their impact on exposure, helping teams see how a new role or policy affects access and blast radius immediately, rather than in a periodic scan.
Where it falls short
As a younger vendor, it has a smaller footprint than the major CNAPP platforms, and its CIEM is part of a broader cloud detection story rather than a dedicated entitlement suite.
Pricing
Quote-based.
Best for, and who should look elsewhere
Choose Stream Security for real-time cloud detection with entitlement context. Look elsewhere for an established, broad CNAPP.
Bottom line
A real-time cloud detection platform that brings entitlement change into live risk analysis, one to watch.
