Overview
Symmetry Systems is the industry’s most innovative data security posture management (DSPM) platform that safeguards data at scale in AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-premise databases while supporting a data-centric zero trust model. Its flagship solution, DataGuard, provides organizations with a complete understanding of their data, the identities that have access to the data and the operations that are performed. DataGuard’s level of precision in risk assessment is unmatched as it reviews all data stores down to the data object level.
DataGuard’s machine learning capabilities can identify unused or anomalous data, determine data access and usage, enumerate paths to sensitive data and quantify the potential data blast radius of accounts. With traditional cloud security solutions, it takes organizations an average of 207 days to identify the breach and 70 days to contain the breach, according to IBM’s 2022 Cost of a Data Breach Report. With DataGuard, organizations are proactively alerted to anomalous data behaviors to stay ahead of threats and reduce the data blast radius. Compliance and cloud migration teams can identify sensitive data and where it resides, preparing teams for regulatory compliance requirements, including SOC2, GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, PCI, and more, as organizations must prove that all sensitive data has tight access controls, is monitored, and is audit-logged in tamperproof storage.
DataGuard is the first hybrid-cloud DSPM solution designed to extend the zero trust philosophy to protecting data, not just the technologies or users who access that data. Symmetry coined the term “zero trust for data,” incorporating zero trust principles into modern data store security, ensuring no one point of failure when systems experience a breach.
How we are different
DataGuard is deployed for on-premises and cloud workloads within an organization's cloud, it never leaves the customer's environment. Competitors offer the creation of data warehouses that allow organizations to run large-scale data analytics projects to uncover insights as their value proposition, but they are limited by the data stores they can reliably proxy.
Some competitors are similar to DataGuard in that they map data stores, however, they differ in that they fail to secure data in the process. DataGuard implements zero trust around the data, ensuring no one point of failure when systems experience a breach.
Unlike other tools and services, Symmetry is not blind to data flows; it allows organizations to identify how to protect their data and know how their data is being used. DataGuard's level of precision in risk assessment is unmatched as it reviews all data stores down to the data object level, as the scale of billions of data objects is beyond the ability of regular humans or security-orchestration rules to handle.
