Data visibility

Enable Comprehensive Data Visibility

You can’t protect what you can’t see. Cyera unifies visibility across cloud, SaaS, on-prem, and AI, so you can reduce risk and meet compliance.

How Cyera Delivers
Data Visibility

Cyera helps security, data, and risk leaders solve visibility gaps across petabytes of structured and unstructured data; spanning multi-cloud, SaaS, and on-prem. AI-native tech plus practitioner expertise helps you understand your data fast.

Discover Your Entire Data Estate

Create a live inventory across IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, on-prem, and AI, no agents, no manual scans. Find unknown data stores.

Understand Sensitivity and Business Context

Classify with precision and add context, owner, residency, data subject, regulatory impact, so you know what matters and why.

Act on Risks with Confidence

Turn insight into action. Prioritize by real data risk, reduce noise, and show stakeholders measurable progress.

Visibility Challenges
We Solve Every Day

Below are real-world scenarios we see every week. Each starts as a visibility problem—and ends with Cyera providing the clarity to take decisive action.

Discover Hidden Datastores and Shadow Data

  • Automatically inventory data across clouds, SaaS, and on-prem without agents or heavy deployment.
  • Classify sensitive data and map it to business units, owners, and regulations.
  • Surface high-risk locations—such as unmanaged buckets or forgotten databases—so teams can remediate quickly.

Enrich Catalogs and Governance with Actionable Metadata

  • Feed precise, 95%+ accurate classification and context into existing catalogs, governance platforms, and data products.
  • Standardize sensitivity labels, residency tags, and retention attributes across tools and teams.
  • Enable consistent policies for access, retention, and AI usage based on a single, trusted source of data truth.

Optimize Controls Around Real Data Risk

  • Map existing security controls to the sensitivity and exposure of underlying data.
  • Prioritize remediation based on business impact, regulatory exposure, and blast radius, not just technical severity.
  • Reduce noise by sending enriched data-risk signals into SIEM, CSPM, and SOAR tools so analysts focus on the alerts that matter most.

"As we roll out AI, Data Intelligence is a foundational item for us… Prior to Cyera we didn't have the ability to manage this."
Corey Kaemming
Sr. Director/CISO at Valvoline
"Cyera was the clear choice because we were able to do more with resources that we have, and by doing more means we were really able to remediate critical vulnerabilities that were out there and we had no visibility to. Remediating over 32,000 issues."
Janet Heins
CISO at ChenMed
“We saw the value within the first week. We were able to see sensitive records, delete things that didn’t need to be there, identify the riskiest things that we needed to focus on first. The value realization was very rapid.”
Andrew Wilder
Chief Security Officer at Vetcor
“The amount of information that Cyera gives me is almost immeasurable, comparable to the older tools that I used to use on prem. In cloud environments I hadn’t found anything that came close. The insight that my team gets and the business gets is something I can’t replicate.”
Robert Preta
Director of Cyber Security

FAQs

How does Cyera provide data visibility across such a large and complex environment?

Cyera uses an AI-native engine that combines machine learning, pattern matching, and large language models to classify both structured and unstructured data—including files, documents, emails, logs, and databases. It recognizes data subject types, identifiers, financial data, health records, and other regulated categories with over 95% precision, dramatically reducing manual tagging and false positives compared with legacy tools.

What kinds of data does Cyera classify, and how accurate is it?

Cyera is an agentless, cloud-native platform that connects directly to your cloud providers, SaaS applications, data warehouses, and on-prem repositories through APIs. It automatically discovers data stores, scans their contents, classifies sensitive information, and builds an always-current inventory enriched with ownership, residency, and regulatory context. This gives you a single, consolidated view of your data estate without installing endpoint agents or modifying applications.

We already have a data catalog and governance tools. How does Cyera fit in?

Cyera does not replace your catalogs or governance platforms—it makes them smarter. The platform enriches existing tools with accurate sensitivity labels, residency information, retention signals, and business metadata. This creates a consistent “data language” across security, data, and governance teams, so policies are based on the same view of reality and are easier to enforce at scale.

How does improved data visibility translate into better security?

You cannot secure what you cannot see. Studies show that a large majority of data security professionals believe poor visibility directly weakens their security posture. Cyera exposes where sensitive data lives, how it is accessed, and where it is over-exposed, so you can align controls and incident response efforts with actual business impact. Instead of treating every asset the same, you can focus on the highest-risk data first and dramatically reduce your attack surface.
