Use Case

Data Security Posture Management

Continuous Data Monitoring & Risk Analysis

Immuta’s Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) capabilities enable data and security teams to continuously monitor data usage, conduct real-time risk analysis based on data sensitivity and risk tolerances, and take immediate steps to remediate those risks by changing data policies. As part of an integrated Data Security Platform, you can reduce your attack surface and stay in compliance.

The Challenge with DSPM

DSPM tools have grown popular as organizations struggle to keep track of data across sprawling cloud repositories. In some ways, they are the next evolution of data loss prevention (DLP) solutions that are less manual to use and more cloud native.

The problem with most DSPM tools is that they lack policy enforcement. Without policy enforcement, remediating a known data access risk is slow and manual. This is true for both point solutions and DSPM offerings from larger CSPM (Cloud Security Posture Management) vendors.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is data risk analysis?

A data risk analysis, also known as a data risk assessment, is the process of comprehensively evaluating the potential risks to your data. Since no organization’s data assets and practices are the same, there is no standard model for a data risk analysis. Rather, you should take regular stock of the data you possess, where it is stored, who has access to it, and how it is used. This can be done using common risk assessment frameworks such as NIST and ISO. By understanding these factors, you can analyze which threats are most likely to impact your data, and create preventative measures to stave off these risks.

What are the benefits of continuous security monitoring?

Data security should not be a “set it and forget it” activity – the threat landscape is always evolving, and security measures must evolve with it. Continuous security monitoring provides always-on coverage, so you can maintain constant oversight over your data resources, users, and platforms, and proactively respond to any anomalous or risky behavior in their ecosystem. This kind of continuous security monitoring can help keep your data security both proactive and reactive to threats.

What is posture management?

Posture management holistically refers to data security measures that protect data resources from leaks, breaches, or other risks. It is informed by a combination of industry standards, organizational policies, and regulatory frameworks, in order to provide complete and compliant data protection. Posture management can include measures such as risk scoring and analysis, continuous monitoring, and user behavior tracking, among others.
