New capabilities deliver comprehensive, real-time data threat protection for sensitive data stores across any cloud environment
Sentra, a cloud data security leader, today announced a new Data Detection and Response (DDR) capability that offers real-time detection and response for internal and external data threats, enabling organizations to safeguard sensitive information wherever it resides. Working in conjunction with Sentra’s flagship Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) platform, which allows organizations to proactively detect and remediate data security risks such as misconfigurations and overexposures, customers with DDR enabled will now be able to quickly address newly emerging data threats from a single, unified platform.
Cyber attackers are using more sophisticated methods, such as artificial intelligence, to bypass traditional security measures and weaken defenses, creating a higher stakes environment — according to IBM, the global average cost of a data breach in 2023 was $4.45 million. Advanced detection and response mechanisms are critical to modern data security strategies, making it possible for organizations to quickly detect, react, and recover from incidents and mitigate breach damages with minimal downtime.
“As the threat landscape continues to evolve, organizations need security measures that enable them to protect their data both offensively and defensively,” said Yoav Regev, co-founder and CEO at Sentra. “When combined with our DSPM system, these new DDR capabilities empower organizations to enhance their data security posture and effectively monitor for new threats across various cloud environments. Sentra’s DDR solution represents a significant advancement in empowering organizations to remain vigilant of the evolving data security landscape.”
Sentra’s DDR capabilities include continuous monitoring for unauthorized changes to data security posture and suspicious access detection, triggering an alert when suspicious third parties or new insiders access sensitive information. The solution goes beyond detection by seamlessly integrating with security workflow solutions for swift issue resolution.
Sentra’s comprehensive DDR capabilities help protect against all stages of an attack. For example, in the event of a breach, DDR provides recovery acceleration with guidance and contextual information for faster post-incident analysis and remediation. With over 20 pre-built or custom security workflow integrations, issues are automatically routed to the appropriate teams, reducing response times and streamlining operations.
“Our platform is powered by data to connect and deliver industry-leading e-commerce analytics across our ecosystem of over 7,000 brands, requiring a comprehensive data security platform to keep our customers and stakeholders protected,” said Raj Ramasamy, CTO at Stackline. “The integration of Sentra DDR with our security workflows improves our incident resolution process, providing a more efficient and effective response to potential threats.”
In addition to real-time threat detection across any cloud environment, other key features of Sentra’s DDR solution include:
- Early Detection and Prevention of Data Access Threats: Responds to data access threats in the early stages of an attack, preventing them from escalating into costly data breaches;
- Noise Reduction in Threat Detection: Sentra's rich data context layer eliminates unnecessary noise that traditional SIEM systems often create, enabling your team to focus on identifying data access activities that truly matter; and,
- Data Loss and Ransomware Prevention: Identify accidental or unauthorized data leakage or theft with real-time monitoring and alerting when sensitive data movement occurs.
