AI-powered data security and management vendor Cohesity has announced it is expanding its Data Security Alliance ecosystem with six Data Security Posture Management (DSPM) vendors, including long-standing partner BigID, as well as Cyera, Dig Security, Normalyze, Sentra, and Securiti.
Cloud adoption continues to increase, it said in a release, but copies of data are often shared between clouds without oversight by IT or security, putting data security, cyber recovery and compliance at risk, as evidenced by 82 per cent of breaches involving data stored in the cloud according to IBM’s 2023 Cost of a Data Breach report.
DSPM gives customers a deep understanding of where their sensitive data is, who has access to it, how it is being used, and where it is stored.
With these partnerships, Cohesity said it expects to integrate with the broadest and most comprehensive selection of DSPM solutions in the industry. Collectively, this group represents the majority of the DSPM market, providing Cohesity customers with the flexibility to choose the solution that best fits their needs.
The Cohesity Data Security Alliance was founded in November 2022; its 15 members include BigID, Cisco, CyberArk, Mandiant, Netskope, Okta, Palo Alto Networks, PwC UK, Qualys, Securonix, ServiceNow, Splunk, TCS, and Zscaler.
The addition of the six DSPM security vendors brings the total membership to 21. Through this alliance, cyber security, data security and management, and services vendors partner to bridge enterprise IT and security by sharing context and enabling new workflows, the release said.
