Sweet Security has been recognized as a leader in cloud security and cloud application detection and response (CADR) in the 2025 Cloud Security Report by Latio Tech, highlighting its innovative runtime cloud and AI security solutions.

The company is praised for its ability to discover actionable findings across cloud environments by correlating misconfigurations, identity risks, vulnerabilities, and behavioral signals throughout the full cloud stack.

Sweet Security's approach leverages AI to transform early warning signals into comprehensive attack narratives, providing runtime coverage across applications, workloads, and infrastructure.

Its key differentiators include runtime protection against vulnerabilities and threats, AI-powered investigation through its SweetX agent, rapid attack detection, and swift response times that reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) to just 2-5 minutes.

The platform’s strengths lie in extending runtime protection from build time to active operation, enabling real-time attack detection regardless of attack origin, and significantly decreasing investigation and resolution times.

The 2025 report emphasizes the evolution of cloud security from traditional posture-focused tools to real-time, risk-driven platforms powered by runtime insights, with tailored recommendations based on organizational needs.

Sweet Security’s AI capabilities, especially through its SweetX agentic investigator utilizing proprietary large language models (LLMs), facilitate rapid incident inference and response, transforming early signals into detailed attack narratives.

The company's expansion into AI SOC workflows and API-layer threat detection enhances visibility into real-time attack surfaces and data flows across cloud environments, consolidating risk and threat data for a unified security posture.

Supported by prominent investors, Sweet Security is recognized for its patent-pending LLM-powered detection engine that minimizes noise and accelerates incident response, and specializes in Runtime CNAPP solutions integrating behavioral analytics, vulnerability management, and API security.

CEO Dror Kashti highlighted that their mission is to provide real-time, actionable insights to security teams, aligning with industry trends toward runtime understanding for improved cloud defense, and industry recognition affirms this focus.

Industry expert James Berthoty praised Sweet Security for bringing runtime protection innovations to practitioners, emphasizing its ability to provide complete attack context and prioritize threats effectively.
