Cyera + Dazz: Why It’s Time to Fuse Application and Data Security

The average security team has invested heavily in Application and Data Security, yet these initiatives can often be disjointed. Applications act as the gateways to your data ecosystem. Hackers relentlessly probe these entry points for weaknesses, so much so that web applications were involved in 50% of data breaches according to the 2024 Verizon Data Breach Investigation Report.

However, many of today’s approaches to securing applications focus on the threats alone - and not the actual data put at risk for any given application. Similarly, Data Loss Prevention (DLP) solutions have historically been complex and arduous to deploy, and have often resulted in false positives and a lack of buy-in across all stakeholders. To make matters more complicated, many DLP solutions were not ready for the transition to cloud, where much of today’s data resides for the average enterprise.

ASPM and Modern Data Security Change the Game

Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) provides a modern solution to securing applications by correlating data from the development environment, application security testing (AST), and infrastructure. Leading ASPM solutions can ingest findings from modern data security solutions, and correlate them to the appropriate application at risk.

Modern data security solutions that easily classify data in any environment (especially cloud) and provide detection and response capabilities to minimize data leaks are an excellent counterpart to ASPMs, since both solutions are:

  1. Easy to deploy by connecting to your existing infrastructure (Iaas/SaaS/On-Prem)
  2. Leverage AI to automatically flag the riskiest issues, requiring minimal human analysis for triage
  3. Ingest business logic on applications, data, and criticality from a variety of sources including CMDBs, directories, and more.

Dazz + Cyera = Holistic Application and Data Security

Dazz, a leader in ASPM, and Cyera, a leader in data security, now natively integrate to provide a complete picture of both application and sensitive data risk. Dazz ingests findings from Cyera, which discovers and classifies the sensitive data within the customer environment, determines who or what has access, detects data incidents, and more.

All of this data is correlated alongside application security testing (AST) and cloud native application protection (CNAPP) platforms, giving customers the full picture of:

  • Which applications have data security issues
  • Where these issues originate (in infrastructure or in code)
  • Where these applications are hosted
  • What remediation actions can be taken to minimize data exposure

Dazz + Cyera = Holistic Application and Data Security

Dazz and Cyera will be demonstrating the combined power of application and data security at BlackHat USA 2024! Visit the Cyera booth (#1674) Wednesday August 7th at 1:30 PDT and the Dazz booth (#1150) Thursday at 11:00 AM PDT to learn more!
