BigID Launches Data Activity Monitoring to Strengthen Data Security
In an era where data breaches and security threats are on the rise, BigID, a leading data security, privacy, compliance, and AI data management company, has announced the launch of Data Activity Monitoring. This new offering aims to empower organizations to proactively identify risks, respond faster to potential threats, and enhance regulatory compliance measures.
Unlike traditional Data Detection & Response (DDR) tools that focus on sensitive data discovery and policy violations, BigID’s Data Activity Monitoring takes a step further by tracking data access activity. By providing insights into who is accessing data, when, how, and what they are doing with it, this tool enhances the contextual intelligence necessary for comprehensive data security and proactive breach prevention.
The key benefits of BigID’s Data Activity Monitoring include:
Enhanced Security Decision-Making: Organizations can now make more accurate decisions on access control, retention, and remediation based on contextual, data-driven insights.
Proactive Risk & Access Management: Monitoring sensitive data activity helps in identifying unnecessary permissions, over-permissioned users, and potential insider threats before breaches occur.
Streamlined Compliance & Auditing: Detailed audit trails generated by Data Activity Monitoring simplify compliance efforts by meeting regulatory requirements and enhancing data governance.
Efficient Security Investigations: Gathering contextual insights into data access patterns enables faster investigations and accurate remediation when security incidents occur.
Improved Data Ownership Accountability: Tracking user interactions with data clarifies data ownership and facilitates efficient delegation of security tasks.
Dimitri Sirota, CEO of BigID, highlighted the significance of Data Activity Monitoring by stating, “With Data Activity Monitoring, we’re redefining the level of control and visibility organizations have over their data. Our customers need to not only have visibility into their sensitive data but also understand how it’s accessed and used, and enact controls around it.”
BigID is known for its commitment to data-centric security, privacy, compliance, AI innovation, and governance. The company’s customers deploy BigID to proactively discover, manage, protect, and derive more value from their regulated, sensitive, and personal data across their data landscape.
BigID has received several accolades for its innovative approach to data security, including being recognized as CRN’s top 100 security companies for two consecutive years in 2023 and 2024. The company was also a finalist in CRN’s 2024 Tech Innovator Awards and named the most innovative security company of the year for its AI data security at the 2024 Globee Awards. BigID’s consistent growth and impact in the industry have earned it a spot on the 2024 Deloitte 500 for the fourth consecutive year, CNBC’s Top 25 Startups for the Enterprise, Forbes Cloud 100, and the Inc. 5000 list for the fourth consecutive year in 2024.
Overall, BigID’s Data Activity Monitoring represents a significant step towards enhancing data security measures and empowering organizations to take a proactive stance against cyber threats and breaches. With its comprehensive features and benefits, this tool is set to redefine the way organizations manage and protect their sensitive data in an increasingly digital world.
