BigID, the leading platform for data security, compliance, privacy, and governance, launched Data Risk Management, a critical element of data security posture management (DSPM) and proactive data-centric security.  BigID’s risk management capabilities are designed to better define, prioritize, investigate, and remediate data risks based on the threat level.

Security teams today typically struggle to define and manage data risk according to the characteristics of their organizations and data. Risk can be defined differently across organizations depending on what industry, vertical, or market they operate in and what types of data they process, share, and store. In addition, most organizations lack proper data visibility, context, and control which is a foundational prerequisite to any data security strategy.

With BigID’s Data Risk Management capabilities, organizations can easily:

Define and customize risk based on the nature of the data environment to better detect data threats and vulnerabilities

Detect and respond to security threats and accelerate incident response

Automatically prioritize data risks by threat level to improve focus on the most critical issues

Seamlessly remediate critical data risks to accelerate security operations and improve efficiency

“Data Risk Management revolutionizes the way you approach DSPM,” says Tyler Young, CISO of BigID. “We’re arming security with an automated and instant way to understand and actively improve their data risk posture in a matter of clicks.”
