Sentra

Data Security Management, or DSPM, is a new security trend recently announced by Gartner in the 2022 Hype Cycle for data security. It addresses these security challenges in the cloud by automating detection and data protection operations in an ever-changing environment. It connects data, applications and identities to provide a comprehensive picture of a company’s security situation.

DSPM provides visibility on where sensitive data is located, who has access to that data, how it is used and the security status of the database or app.

So what’s wrong with data protection tools today?

Simply put-they don’t understand the security context of the data. Data security doesn’t mean locking your infrastructure to secure what’s inside. Instead, it’s about finding all the sensitive data and ensuring that no matter where they go, their protective shell will go with them.

Cloud data tools should answer the following

• questions: What security envelope should this data have?
• What is the lineage of the data?
• Is the data you discover really critical to your business?
• Does it cause Comlines problems?
• Which teams own and use this data?

How does Sentra secure the right cloud data?

01-First, we need to find them without overloading your cloud account. Sentra Smart Meta Clustering and Sentra data sampling capabilities reduce costs by three orders of magnitude compared to existing solutions.

02 – Then, we classify the data based on the business impact. We focus on data-we find important data that your company needs to protect, like financial information, personal information, developer permissions and more.

03-If the data we find is sensitive or critical, and the security envelope does not cover it and leaves it in a vulnerable/incompatible state, it is time to act – with alerts and repair plans. Combining your existing security tools with Sentra allows for a quick fix with full context around the data itself and the best way to fix any problem.

04-Sentra detects when data is copied across your cloud databases, and can detect movement even when it is processed by data pipelines, ETLs and various other methods.& nbsp; Users can set policies to alert when sensitive data is copied or transferred between regions, environments, networks and more. Sentra also provides rich context that describes any drop in data security and allows data holders to be connected to an easier fix.
