DSPM 101
Data-first approach to cloud security
Data Security Posture Management defines a new data-first approach to securing cloud data. DSPM presumes that data is your organization’s most important asset. The proliferation of data in modern multi-cloud organizations is rapidly increasing risks of sensitive data loss or compromise. These risks make cloud data security the #1 problem for security stakeholders – especially those using legacy strategies for protection.
What DSPM does
DSPM charts a modern path for understanding everything that affects the security posture of your data; it tells you where sensitive data is anywhere in your cloud environment, who can access these data, and their security posture.
Following the guidelines and platform-based instrumentation of DSPM is the quickest way to keep your organization’s cloud data safe and secure.

How DSPM Helps You
The most important benefit of DSPM is accelerating your organization’s ability to continuously keep its cloud data protected. Assessing and acting on data security posture is different from other types of security posture, such as issues affecting the general cloud, applications, network, devices, identify, and so forth. Unlike these, DSPM focuses like a laser beam on your data.
