Features

Key features

Unified DSPM & DDR Platform
A single solution for Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Data Detection and Response (DDR), providing comprehensive data security over time.
Unprecedented Data Visibility
Discovers, maps, and monitors sensitive data across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments at massive scale (yottabyte+).
Proactive & Reactive Security
Proactively reduces data blast radius and attack surface, while also detecting abnormal operations and violations in real-time.
Accelerated Innovation & GenAI Adoption
Helps reduce data sensitivity for data used by AI agents, enabling organizations to adopt cutting-edge tools like Generative AI faster and more securely.
Rapid Time to Value
Delivers actionable insights from minutes of deployment, allowing for quick security posture improvements.
Scalability & Predictable Cost
Designed to scale to yottabyte levels with a predictable cost structure, regardless of data volume.
Broad Data Coverage
Secures both structured and unstructured data across major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP), SaaS applications, and on-premises data stores (including Hadoop).

Additional features

Unified DSPM & DDR Platform
Acts as a single platform for both Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) and Data Detection and Response (DDR), providing a holistic approach to data security.
Unprecedented Data Visibility
Discovers, maps, and monitors sensitive data across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments, even at yottabyte scale, to show what data you have, where it lives, who has access, and how it's being used.
Proactive Security (Posture Management)
Proactively reduces the blast radius and attack surface of data by identifying and remediating risky configurations, excessive permissions, and data sprawl.
Reactive Security (Real-time Detection)
Detects abnormal data operations and policy violations in real-time through anomaly detection and deterministic alerts on sensitive data access, reducing mean time to detect and respond (MTTD/MTTR).
Data Access Governance (DAG)
Provides tools for comprehensive permission analysis, connecting data to identities and helping to enforce least privilege access.
Faster Innovation (GenAI & Cloud Adoption)
Reduces the sensitivity of data used by AI agents and helps manage data risks for new technologies, enabling faster and more secure adoption of cutting-edge tools like Generative AI.
Cost Savings
Decreases data storage costs through cleanup initiatives (e.g., identifying and removing dormant data) and helps avoid the much larger losses associated with data breaches.
Rapid Time to Value
Delivers actionable insights within minutes of deployment, allowing organizations to quickly improve their data security posture.
Scalability to Yottabyte+
Proven ability to handle and secure extremely large volumes of data, scaling with enterprise needs.
Predictable Cost Structure
Offers a predictable pricing model that remains consistent regardless of the scale of data being managed.
High Assurance Environment Deployment
Can be deployed securely in highly regulated and sensitive environments.
Comprehensive Data Source Coverage
Supports a wide range of data stores including:
Cloud Storage

Structured Data
Secures data in predefined formats such as relational databases.
Unstructured Data
Protects data in any format, including files, images, and documents.
Identity First Prioritization
Focuses on identities (human and non-human) and their access to data, helping to manage risks related to compromised credentials and insider threats.
Automated Permissions Management
Automates the enforcement and remediation of dormant, excess, and unauthorized permissions to sensitive data.
Security Stack Integration
Offers API interoperability with most modern security tools, allowing it to fit seamlessly into existing security ecosystems.
Compliance & Governance Support
Helps organizations meet regulatory requirements (e.g., GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS 4.0) by providing audit reports, visibility into data movement, and supporting ethical walls.
User-Friendly Interface
Features a user-friendly interface with intuitive controls, and in some cases, an LLM-based natural language interface for easier data risk understanding.
Supports Key Security Use Cases
Addresses critical use cases such as data inventory, ransomware protection, Zero Trust implementation, and cloud transformation.
Industry-Specific Solutions
Offers tailored solutions for various industries including Financial Services, Healthcare, Communication, Technology, Retail & eCommerce, Manufacturing, Federal Government, Energy, and Education.
