    Protecto

    Protecto

    Protecto

    While enterprise data is exploding and scattered across various systems, oversight of driving privacy, data security, and governance has become very challenging. As a result, businesses hold significant risks in the form of data breaches, privacy lawsuits, and penalties. Finding data privacy risks in an enterprise is a complex, and time-consuming effort that takes months involving a team of data engineers. Data breaches and privacy laws are requiring companies to have a better grip on which users have access to the data, and how the data is used. But enterprise data is complex, so even if a team of engineers works for months, they will have a tough time isolating data privacy risks or quickly finding ways to reduce them.

Our platform first classifies data, allowing users to categorize the type of data that can mostly be in the public domain. With those classifications established, the platform then leverages machine learning algorithms to discover that type of data. Classification and discovery finds the data that needs to be protected. Whether encrypting, tokenizing, or applying privacy methods, the platform secures the data behind the many operational systems that drive the day-to-day functions of business, as well as the analytical systems behind decision-making.

    Tenable Cloud Security
    The actionable cloud security platform. Reduce risk by rapidly exposing and closing priority security gaps caused by misconfigurations, risky entitlements and vulnerabilities–in one powerful cloud native application protection platform (CNAPP). CNAPP solutions replace a patchwork of siloed products that often cause more problems than they solve, such as multiple false positives and excessive alerts. Those products usually provide only partial coverage and often create overhead and friction with the products they’re supposed to work with. Most importantly, CNAPPs allow businesses to monitor the health of cloud native applications as a whole rather than individually monitoring cloud infrastructure and application security.
