Sweet Security Named Cloud Security Leader and CADR Leader in Latio Cloud Security Report

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.’

The 2025 Cloud Security Report offers insights into the evolution of cloud security, tracing the shift from posture-focused tools to real-time, risk-driven platforms powered by runtime insights.

Recognizing that cloud security choices depend heavily on each organization’s architecture, team size, and security goals, Latio also acknowledges that security operations teams should be empowered with application layer insights to their running applications.

The report provides clear, actionable recommendations, structured through a decision tree to help teams design the right cloud security stack for their specific needs.

The report highlights vendors shaping the future of cloud security through innovation, visibility, and runtime-powered defense. Sweet earned two leadership badges for its unique approach to discovering actionable findings in the cloud and for pioneering the use of AI to transform early warning signals into full attack stories.

According to Latio’s analysis, Sweet Security is built to discover actionable findings in cloud environments. Built for cloud and security operations teams, Sweet provides runtime coverage across applications, workloads, and cloud infrastructure.

By correlating misconfigurations, identity risks, vulnerabilities, and behavioral signals across the full cloud stack, Sweet empowers teams to prioritize real threats, not just surface-level alerts. 

One of Sweet’s most recognized strengths is its AI capabilities that provide prioritization logic and leverage a unique detection approach that identifies suspicious behavior across the cloud stack.

This enables Sweet to turn early warning signals into full attack stories, tracing attacker activity across the cloud. By combining these signals into a single attack narrative across different layers of the environment, Sweet gives operations teams actionable insight to protect their entire cloud.

Sweet’s key differentiators recognized in the report include:

• Runtime Protection: Sweet combines runtime insight across vulnerabilities, threats, posture, and identity and extends it all the way back to developers at build time.
• AI-Powered Investigation: SweetX, the company’s agentic investigator, leverages Sweet’s proprietary LLMs to infer the root cause of an incident and enable rapid response.
• Robust Detections: Detect attacks as soon as they happen in cloud environments, no matter where they start.
• Investigation and Response: Sweet reduces investigation time to as little as 2–5 minutes by giving analysts complete, story-like context that includes the full attack impact, visual graph and timeline, achieving a 205-minute mean time to resolution (MTTR).
• Consolidating Risks and Threats: Combine high-severity posture alerts with real-time attack signals to gain a unified view of your cloud standing and what to address first.

Latio’s report also highlights Sweet’s expansion into AI SOC workflows and API-layer threat detection, which give teams visibility into their real-time attack surface and data flows across the entire cloud environment.
