During the Black Hat USA 2024 event, the significance of data security and the challenges faced by security leaders were highlighted. With over 90% of the world’s data being created in the last two years, the need to secure this data has become paramount. However, a staggering 70% of security leaders struggle to protect their data due to the lack of tools to efficiently discover, classify, and monitor data across their environments.
Yotam Segev, the Co-founder and CEO of Cyera, emphasized the evolving landscape of data and the importance of distinguishing between essential proprietary data and extraneous information. He stressed the need to differentiate between crucial data for enterprise operations and avoid sharing it inadvertently with external services.
Cyera, a data security platform, utilizes a blend of agentless and AI-powered technology to swiftly identify data, classify it with 95% accuracy, assess the potential impact of data breaches, and implement controls to mitigate risks. The platform aids security leaders in safeguarding sensitive data, ensuring compliance with industry regulations, responding to security threats, and enabling safe data access for business operations, including AI adoption, cloud migration, and M&A activities.
Central to Cyera’s success is its Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) module, which boasts a high Gartner Peer Rating. This module swiftly deploys API-based technology to scan various environments and generate data classifications based on patterns and AI learnings. The platform enhances classification accuracy by adapting to unique customer data, augmenting traditional pattern-based methods.
Furthermore, Cyera’s platform extends beyond data discovery and classification to include identifying both human and non-human identities within customer environments. By determining access levels to sensitive data, Cyera helps reduce the risk of overprivileged access and enhances security controls. With the rise of AI copilots in services like Microsoft Copilot and Salesforce Gemini, understanding and managing data accessibility by such services becomes crucial.
In addition to its software offerings, Cyera provides data security services, including the recently introduced Cyera Incident Response Service. This elite service assists organizations during data breaches by evaluating the scope of the incident, devising recovery strategies, and assessing the impact of the breach. As a result, Cyera has garnered recognition as one of the fastest-growing software companies globally.
Customer testimonials, such as the endorsement from Mike Melo, Chief Information Security Officer at LifeLabs, underscore Cyera’s effectiveness in providing comprehensive data security solutions. The platform’s ability to offer end-to-end visibility and control over all data, irrespective of its location, is lauded for simplifying data protection and compliance efforts.
With its commitment to innovation and exceptional data security solutions, Cyera continues to empower organizations to safeguard their data assets, mitigate compliance risks, and respond proactively to security incidents. The platform’s user-friendly interface, advanced technology coverage, and high accuracy in data classification position it as a standout performer in the industry.
