Expanded capabilities enable organizations to find , manage , secure , and protect sensitive data across backup and recovery processes .

While the initial integration will enable visibility in sensitive data exposure , BigID is committed to expanding its partnership with Cohesity towards building proactive and automated remediation against data risks .

Shay Azulay , Sr . Director , Security Products , BigID , said : " BigID and Cohesity share a vision of providing proactive Data Security Posture Management with not only visibility into sensitive data exposures but also proactive , automated remediation . We are excited about this next step that we have embarked on together ."

These new developments give organizations unparalleled visibility , context and control over their sensitive data , across the entire environment – significantly improving data security and risk management at enterprise scale . The new integration allows organizations to pinpoint sensitive data , identify potential exposure issues related to backup and recovery – and then carry out the appropriate remediation controls and measures to mitigate risk .

As a founding member of the Cohesity Data Security Alliance , BigID extends beyond its existing integration within Cohesity ' s DataHawk . This new integration will give organizations comprehensive visibility into the location of sensitive data and potential exposure issues related to backup and recovery .

Sheetal Venkatesh , Sr . Director , Data Security Products , Cohesity , said : " It is critical for enterprises to quickly and effectively respond to cyber attacks on their critical data sets . However , customers can achieve that rapid response during an attack only if they identify exposures and proactively adjust data protection policies and practices before an attack . Our joint customers can address both scenarios through Cohesity ' s integration with BigID ' s Data Security Posture Management capabilities ." p

BigID ' s partnership with Cohesity pitches a comprehensive approach towards managing and protecting sensitive data from unwanted exposure , enabling joint customers to :

• Rapidly Identify and Secure Sensitive Data : Discover and map sensitive data sources with or without existing backup policies . Organizations can streamline the process of identifying sensitive data that lack proper security controls , including data backups , so they can swiftly implement the necessary safeguards and measures .

• Simplify Cyber Recovery Compliance : Simplify compliance by getting a clear picture of data risks and vulnerabilities , as well as existing security controls . This empowers organizations to identify and close gaps between their data protection practices and compliance requirements , ensuring a robust security posture .

• Proactive Data Security & Risk Management : Maintain visibility into sensitive data across the environment to quickly identify and address potential data exposure risks and vulnerabilities . Organizations can proactively apply remediation actions and security controls faster and more comprehensively to mitigate the chance of a data breach or leak .
