Stop Attacks In Their Tracks
While posture management delivers proactive prevention, no system is foolproof. Organizations must continuously be on guard for new threats to their sensitive data. Sentra goes even further - to identify data-centric threats that might go unnoticed by other monitoring tools.
Sentra Data Detection & Response (DDR) enables organizations to discover and respond to threats affecting their data by continuously monitoring log and change activity. DDR detects breaches, data exfiltration, posture and permission changes, and suspicious data transfers, allowing you to respond to external and internal threats to your sensitive data in near real-time, to thwart newly emerging threats or incidents before damage occurs.
Monitor Data Perimeters and Movement
Data sharing in the cloud is an essential element to accelerate business, however data moves and flows dynamically, and often ends up in places lacking proper security protections.
Sentra DataTreks™ automatically detects when data is copied, moved, or shared between different environments, helping you to prevent unauthorized data transfers and ensure that sensitive data remains within authorized boundaries and has appropriate hygiene, including masking, encryption, logging, etc.
Detect Obscure Data Threats
Hidden threats, such as ransomware exploits, often lurk undetected for too long. Effective threat mitigation requires detailed data context analysis to sort noise from risky activity — in time to take action.
Deep context allows Sentra DDR to detect obscure data threats - often by unsuspected authorized insiders and ecosystem partners or compromised identities. DDR automatically prioritizes the severity of suspicious activities, leveraging contextual understanding of location, user, data sensitivity, etc., and then alerts you based on this prioritization. It fills in the missing data-centric context by differentiating security events that contain high-risk sensitive data and correlating those sources with potential threats.
Enforce Policy and Compliance
Most cloud environments’ setups make it challenging to align with data regulations. The number of users and variety of data stores within a given organization’s environment can blur the boundaries between sensitive and non-sensitive data.
Sentra DDR answers these challenges by monitoring your entire data estate for policy violations and flagging them as soon as they occur. It also enables conformance with strict breach disclosure laws, immediately informing when a user violates an industry compliance framework or regulatory standard such as sovereignty or privacy adherence.
Key Benefits
Data Detection and Response (DDR)
Monitor data threats in real time
Monitor your sensitive assets using the logs from your cloud providers such as AWS CloudTrail. DDR parses the events on these logs to find any unusual activity or policy violations. DSPM/DDR pairing reduces the ‘noise’ that other types of log monitoring generate.
.avif)
Detect data policy and compliance violations
DDR delivers robust threat detection and anomaly identification. Detect suspicious third-party or insider access, data exfiltration, accidental or unauthorized data leakage, or signs of weakening defenses (ex. escalated access privileges, encryption level, sensitivity classification, or data ownership)
Prioritize response based on business insights
Next, DDR prioritizes each detected incident and then alerts the right personnel on the details and severity of each event. Rather than basing the severity level on general vulnerability categories, it uses data context to dig into the actual risk level to the business.
Respond quickly with confidence
DDR offers automated workflows for remediation and practical tips for manual activities if needed. Integrations with leading ticketing, SOAR, SIEM, and other IR tools speed resolution. Accurate risk prioritization reduces alert fatigue, streamlines workflow, and keeps teams focused on which actions matter most.
