How Cyera Empowered a Retail Leader to Take Control of Their Data

The magic of the solution is the data discovery component... being able to have it at your fingertips so that you can take action against it. That’s hugely powerful for us as a retail organization.

The customer faced a pressing challenge: data sprawl. Without full visibility into the data landscape, securing sensitive information was nearly impossible. As the former CISO and SVP of Nordstrom put it, “You can't defend what you can't see or don't know that you have.” The lack of insight into where data lived, how it was used, and who had access left the organization vulnerable, and unable to fully leverage data for strategic decision-making.

At the heart of the problem was an overwhelming volume of data being generated across systems, with little ability to consolidate or categorize it. That meant that if even 10% of data breached from Nordstrom members could be a fine ranging from $55 million to $99 million!

In an industry where customer trust is everything, this was not a risk they could afford.

After evaluating data security solutions, the retail organization selected Cyera for its ability to tackle their most complex data security challenges. What stood out?

Data Discovery: Cyera’s ability to uncover data across environments, cloud, on-premises, and hybrid, was a game changer. This created a "light bulb moment," revealing just how much data the organization had and where it resided.

Partnership & Support: The Cyera team didn’t just offer a tool, they offered a relationship and team to support all their data security needs.
