Data Security and Protection Solutions

Protect critical data

Data is the lifeblood of every organization. As your organization’s data footprint expands across various cloud environments, providers, SaaS applications and endpoints, your risk of a data breach also increases. Hackers and cybercriminals are seeking to exploit security vulnerabilities to access sensitive data that is spread across multiple cloud data centers and data stores.

Data security and compliance are two sides of the same coin. Complex compliance regulations, such as DORA, GDPR, CCPA, SOX, PCI, HIPAA and others, all have the same purpose: preventing unauthorized access to customers’ and users’ sensitive information.

With data breaches costing global organizations financial losses in the millions on average, it's critical to understand all your repositories for structured and unstructured data. You also need to know where they reside, who can access them, what needs to be encrypted, what is the flow of this data and what potential misconfigurations exist. Our data security products help you gain visibility into security vulnerabilities to improve your data security posture and reduce security incidents.
