There is no need for custom-built connectors or connection strings. Once connected, Cyera automatically discovers all data stores, from IaaS and PaaS buckets to databases and SaaS files, providing continuous, organization-wide data visibility.

Question 5

How does Cyera ensure the accuracy of its data classification compared to other vendors?

Accepted Answer

Cyera's classification engine utilizes advanced machine learning algorithms and semantic analysis to deliver best-in-class accuracy. In head-to-head evaluations, Cyera is 72% more accurate than the competition. The platform learns the unique characteristics of your data, refining classifiers for ongoing improvement and eliminating the need for manual tuning, as attested by satisfied customers.

Question 6

What kind of visibility and context does Cyera provide about my data and its risks?

Accepted Answer

Cyera's platform delivers deep data context, offering full visibility into where your sensitive data resides, who has access to it, how it is being used, and the overall security posture of the data. It contextualizes data across customer, employee, and intellectual property domains, enabling informed decision-making and precise risk remediation based on real-world usage and exposure.

Question 7

How does Cyera help organizations remediate data risks and improve compliance?

Accepted Answer

After identifying and classifying data, Cyera creates a contextualized risk assessment tailored to each environment. The platform provides prioritized rules, guided threat surface minimization steps, and automated remediation workflows. These actions are aligned with established security, regulatory, and compliance frameworks, empowering organizations to take swift, effective action to reduce risk and meet governance requirements.

Question 8

What types of cloud and data environments does Cyera support in its assessments?

Accepted Answer

Cyera supports a broad range of environments, including IaaS and PaaS storage buckets, native and virtualized databases, compute environments, containers, and SaaS applications. The platform automatically inventories all relevant data stores across your cloud footprint, even discovering shadow, stale, or ghost data that may not be visible through traditional means.

Question 9

How does Cyera's Data Risk Assessment differ from traditional on-premises data security approaches?

Accepted Answer

Cyera is purpose-built for the cloud era, addressing the unique, dynamic attack surfaces of modern cloud environments. Unlike traditional on-premises solutions, Cyera leverages AI-native automation to deliver continuous, organization-wide visibility and rapid risk identification without manual intervention. This approach uncovers hidden risks, such as shadow data and excessive access, that are often missed by legacy tools.

Question 10

What results and outcomes can I expect after completing a Data Risk Assessment with Cyera?

Accepted Answer

Upon completing a Data Risk Assessment, organizations gain immediate, actionable insights into their data landscape. You will know exactly where your sensitive data is, whether any data is at risk, and receive prioritized recommendations for remediation. The process enhances data governance, reduces exposure, supports compliance efforts, and empowers your security team to achieve and maintain a strong, resilient security posture.
