Cloud-native data security posture management (DSPM)

Defend sensitive data wherever it lives

Data security findings 

Uncover, prioritize, and protect the data that matters most

Problem
Solution
Visibility gaps for data residency and exposure weaken security for sensitive data 
Reveal risks and exposure to personal health information (PHI), personally identifiable information (PII), and financial data  
Lack of sensitive data context makes it difficult to prioritize vulnerabilities for assets containing PHI, PII, and financial information
AI-powered context helps security teams understand when sensitive data is at risk and prioritize remediation 
Slow response to incidents involving PHI, PII, and financial data leaves organizations at risk 
Attack-path visualizations contextualize critical alerts and help security teams understand blast radius for faster, more targeted response 

Reveal data exposure, focus remediation, and contextualize threats

Data discovery and classification 

Identify and classify sensitive data like PII, PHI, and financial data. 

Sysdig Attack Path visualization showing exposed status connected through internet gateway, network ACL, route table, subnet, EC2 instance, IAM role to multiple S3 buckets and identified AI packages and identity risks.

Data exposure risk assessment 

Reveal overexposed data, map risk paths, and prioritize remediation to reduce the likelihood of breaches.

Incident response acceleration 

Using enhanced context, identify if an affected resource contains sensitive data to immediately understand blast radius and prioritize response.

Vulnerability and misconfiguration management 

Using enhanced context, identify if an affected resource contains sensitive data to immediately understand blast radius and prioritize response.

Unified data security across clouds 

Data security findings delivers cloud-native data security posture management (DSPM) capabilities in Sysdig Secure through an integration with Bedrock Data. Data security findings treats sensitive data as a first-class security signal — alongside vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, identities, and runtime threats — to help you reduce risk faster, prioritize what matters most, and protect your most valuable data without adding new agents or tools.

Data security findings leverages serverless technology to efficiently scan and classify data in your AWS S3 and RDS, Azure Blob Storage, and Google Cloud Storage environments. An in-environment outpost analyzer generates classification results and metadata, which are transmitted to the Bedrock Data SaaS platform for processing before being securely sent as security findings to the Sysdig Secure platform. By leveraging a "metadata only" approach, the integration ensures that sensitive information never leaves your environment. 

Sensitive data insights are ingested directly into Sysdig Secure for broader risk context, including:

  • Runtime activity: Correlate data findings with real-world behaviors like suspicious process activity or lateral movement attempts.
  • Unified risk prioritization: See sensitive data exposure alongside misconfigurations, vulnerabilities, and live attack paths, all in a single prioritized view.

With Sysdig Secure data security findings, you can stop watching and start defending your most sensitive data.
