Benefits Eliminate exposed data

Tie up any loose ends and ensure your data is securely shared only with the intended recipients, and is inaccessible to people with unauthorized access. Remove any sensitive data assets that could potentially be exposed by your cloud providers (such as AWS, GCP and Azure) or within your SaaS apps (such as Google Drive, OneDrive, Slack, Salesforce and others). 

Prevent data leakage

Safeguard and prioritize your organization’s data by keeping it out of the wrong hands. Keep a close watch on the movement of your sensitive information as it flows between different cloud environments and various SaaS apps. 

Monitor data transactions

Efficiently and accurately oversee data transactions between countries to help ensure compliance with regulatory mandates that require regional data retention. Identify the pertinent providers and their responsible parties to halt such data flow and maintain continuous data compliance. 

Reduce 3rd party exposure

Gain a thorough perspective on third-party vendors, who can access your organization's cloud workloads. Swiftly determine which vendors have access to sensitive data and whether they possess the necessary certifications to manage such information. Evaluate whether maintaining or excluding their data access is appropriate, which helps streamline risk assessments associated with external vendors. 

Use cases
Data visibility Uncover the presence of shadow data, a phenomenon that is rapidly expanding within your cloud workloads and SaaS apps. This type of data, which is often unnoticed but potentially impactful, poses a growing concern as it proliferates throughout your digital ecosystem. Identifying, addressing and classifying these hidden data repositories is essential for maintaining a secure and efficient digital environment.

Data movement Dive into a comprehensive analysis of both potential and actual data flows within the cloud environments. This step encompasses the intricate pathways through which data traverses, including its origins, destinations and the mechanisms governing its movement. Understanding and monitoring these data flows are paramount in ensuring data security, optimizing performance and meeting compliance requirements. By scrutinizing these aspects, organizations can gain valuable insights, proactively address any vulnerabilities and enhance the overall management of their cloud-native data resources.

Data protection Dive deep into your data and compliance posture to unveil any hidden vulnerabilities. This extends to scrutinizing the intricate layers of data management and regulatory adherence within your organization. By meticulously assessing these aspects, you can proactively identify weaknesses and gaps that may exist in your data security and compliance framework.
