The 2025 Latio Cloud Security Report recognizes vendors shaping the future of cloud defense through visibility, automation, and AI-driven runtime protection. Unlike traditional tools focused on posture, Sweet Security empowers security teams with real-time application-layer insights, correlating data across workloads, infrastructure, identities, and vulnerabilities. This enables prioritization of genuine threats over noise, supporting faster and more precise incident response.
James Berthoty, founder and CEO of Latio Tech, remarked, “Sweet was a clear choice as a cloud security and CADR leader as innovators bringing the power of runtime protection to practitioners.”
Sweet Security’s unique strengths lie in its proprietary AI and LLM-powered detection technologies. These include:
Runtime Protection: Extends visibility to developers at build time, factoring in posture, vulnerabilities, and identity signals.
AI-Powered Investigation: SweetX™ uses advanced LLMs to identify root causes of incidents, reducing investigation times to minutes.
Robust Detections: Real-time attack detection regardless of origin or cloud layer.
Investigation and Response: Achieves an industry-leading mean time to resolution (MTTR) of 205 minutes by delivering complete, story-like incident context.
Risk Consolidation: Merges posture assessments with live attack data to prioritize remediation effectively.
The report also highlights Sweet Security’s advancements in integrating AI for security operations centers (SOC) and expanding API-layer threat detection, helping teams safeguard their dynamic cloud attack surfaces comprehensively.
Dror Kashti, CEO and co-founder of Sweet Security, stated, “From the start, our goal has been to go beyond alerts and give security teams real-time insight into what’s actually happening in their environments. This recognition confirms that clarity and runtime understanding are critical to the future of cloud defense.”
