Cloud data management firm Cohesity is expanding its Data Security Alliance ecosystem with six leading data security posture management (DSPM) vendors.
These include BigID, Cyera, Dig Security, Normalyze, Sentra, and Securiti. Cloud adoption continues to increase, but copies of data are often shared between clouds without oversight by IT or security, resulting in the growth of shadow data, said Cohesity.
“The need for DSPM capabilities, coupled with modern data security and management services, has never been greater,” Cohesity said. DSPM gives customers a deep understanding of where their sensitive data is, who has access to it, how it is being used, and where it is stored.
With these partnerships, Cohesity expects to integrate with the “broadest and most comprehensive selection” of DSPM solutions in the industry. Cohesity customers have the flexibility to choose the solution that best fits their needs.
“As organisations rapidly expand their hybrid cloud footprint, their data risk and exposure increase in lockstep,” said Elad Horn, group vice president, product, Cohesity. “Our partnership with leading DSPM vendors will help our joint customers rapidly identify and protect their most sensitive and business-critical data across both public cloud and private cloud environments.”
