The Data Security module helps discover and classify data stores to implement Data Access Governance (DAG), which prevents data exfiltration. The Data Security module provides detection and remediation guidance to reduce the time it takes to address data security leaks.

This is accomplished by analyzing access logs, database logs, and event logs from data sources like object stores and databases. Data Security discovers data, finds the data lineage, data silos, events of exfiltration and the risk assessment of data and data alerts. 

Data Security Capabilities 

Data Security capabilities include:

  • Discovering and classifying all data stores into correct Personal Identifiable Information (PII) categories to implement Data Access Governance (DAG). 
  • Assisting with implementation of access privileges for your data stores which prevents data exfiltration. 
  • Discovering user and application data access behaviors to operate your data. 
  • Unlocking Generative-AI guided detection and remediation for data security incidents which reduces your down-time. 
  • Reducing security risk posture by detecting siloed and unencrypted data resources and dormant users.
