Lacework's workforce shrank by nearly 35% from its June 2022 peak to early 2024 without formal layoff announcements. Fortinet acquired Lacework for $152.3M in August 2024 — a 98% valuation drop from its $8.3B peak in November 2021. Failed acquisition talks with Wiz reportedly fell through during due diligence. Post-acquisition, Lacework contributed $31.1M revenue and $45.8M net loss to Fortinet in 2024.
