In the dynamic world of cybersecurity, staying ahead of evolving threats is paramount. Organizations continuously seek robust solutions to protect their increasingly complex cloud environments. It’s against this backdrop that Sweet Security, a prominent name in Runtime Cloud and AI security solutions, has recently garnered significant recognition. This acknowledgment not only highlights Sweet Security’s innovative approach but also signals a crucial shift in how the industry perceives effective cloud defense.
Sweet Security Crowned Cloud Security and CADR Leader by Latio Tech
Tel Aviv, Israel, October 14th, 2025/CyberNewsWire/–Sweet Security, a leader in Runtime Cloud and AI security solutions, today announced that it has been recognized as both a Cloud Security Leader and a Cloud Application Detection & Response (CADR) Leader in the 2025 Cloud Security Report by James Berthoty of ‘Latio Tech.’ This prestigious recognition underscores Sweet Security’s unique contributions to securing cloud applications and infrastructure in real time.
The 2025 Cloud Security Report from Latio Tech offers critical insights into the evolving landscape of cloud security. It meticulously traces the shift from traditional posture-focused tools to more agile, real-time, risk-driven platforms, all powered by invaluable runtime insights. This evolution reflects the growing understanding that static configurations alone are insufficient against sophisticated, dynamic cloud attacks.
Latio Tech emphasizes that effective cloud security choices are deeply influenced by an organization’s specific architecture, team size, and overarching security goals. Crucially, the report acknowledges the necessity of empowering security operations teams with granular application layer insights into their running applications. To facilitate informed decision-making, the report provides clear, actionable recommendations, structured through a decision tree, guiding teams to design the optimal cloud security stack tailored to their specific needs.
Driving Innovation: Runtime Insights and AI-Powered Defense
The Latio report specifically highlights vendors who are actively shaping the future of cloud security through innovation, enhanced visibility, and robust runtime-powered defense. Sweet Security earned its dual leadership badges for its distinctive approach to discovering actionable findings within cloud environments and for pioneering the use of AI to transform early warning signals into comprehensive attack stories.
According to Latio’s analysis, Sweet Security is purpose-built to discover actionable findings in dynamic cloud environments. Designed for both cloud and security operations teams, Sweet provides extensive runtime coverage across applications, workloads, and the underlying cloud infrastructure. By correlating misconfigurations, identity risks, vulnerabilities, and behavioral signals across the full cloud stack, Sweet empowers teams to prioritize genuine threats, moving beyond mere surface-level alerts to focus on what truly matters.
“Sweet was a clear choice as a cloud security and CADR leader as innovators bringing the power of runtime protection to practitioners,” said James Berthoty, founder and CEO of Latio Tech. This statement encapsulates Sweet Security’s forward-thinking vision and its practical impact on cloud defense strategies.
One of Sweet Security’s most celebrated strengths lies in its advanced AI capabilities, which provide intelligent prioritization logic. Leveraging a unique detection approach, Sweet identifies suspicious behavior across the entire cloud stack. This powerful capability enables Sweet to turn early warning signals into full attack stories, meticulously tracing attacker activity across the cloud environment. By consolidating these disparate signals into a single, cohesive attack narrative, Sweet provides operations teams with actionable insight to protect their entire cloud infrastructure.
Sweet Security’s key differentiators, prominently recognized in the report, include:
- Runtime Protection: Sweet seamlessly combines runtime insight across vulnerabilities, threats, posture, and identity, extending this visibility all the way back to developers at the build stage.
- AI-Powered Investigation: SweetX, the company’s agentic investigator, leverages Sweet’s proprietary LLMs to infer the root cause of an incident, significantly enabling rapid response.
- Robust Detections: The platform excels at detecting attacks as soon as they manifest in cloud environments, regardless of their starting point.
- Investigation and Response: Sweet dramatically reduces investigation time to as little as 2–5 minutes. It achieves this by providing analysts with complete, story-like context that includes the full attack impact, a visual graph, and a timeline, ultimately achieving an impressive 205-minute mean time to resolution (MTTR).
- Consolidating Risks and Threats: The platform unifies high-severity posture alerts with real-time attack signals, offering a clear, unified view of an organization’s cloud standing and indicating precisely what needs immediate attention.
Empowering Security Operations with Clear, Unified Defense
Beyond its core offerings, Latio’s report also highlights Sweet Security’s strategic expansion into AI SOC workflows and API-layer threat detection. These advancements provide security teams with unprecedented visibility into their real-time attack surface and data flows across the entire cloud environment. This holistic view is crucial for preemptive defense and rapid incident response in today’s complex, API-driven architectures.
“We’re proud to be recognized as both a Cloud Security and CADR Leader by Latio Tech,” said Dror Kashti, CEO and co-founder of Sweet Security. “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 shows that the industry is moving toward the same vision, where clarity and runtime understanding drive better cloud defense.”
